Fil is a British guitarist who does deep dives into the "musicology" of song structures and performances. In this duo of videos, imported from his "Wings of Pegasus" RU-vid channel, he honors Orleans with analysis and commentary of both Dance With Me (1975 Midnight Special performance) and Dancin' in the Moonlight (2006 live video). He also goes into some band history and our longstanding connection to the latter tune.
Being a guitar teacher, he goes pretty deep down the rabbit hole explaining elements of guitar playing on these songs. Guitar wonks will appreciate it ... other might get lost :-). Through it all, there is an amusing similarity to Eric Idle's (Monty Python) reporter character in the spoof documentary, "The Rutles". (if you've never seen that, it's must viewing for Spinal Tap fans)
Thanks, Fil, for the compliments and insight.
