I've just added a small new feature to the site's Multimedia system.
Blues Brothers Central now supports Youtube videos!
We can now add Youtube videos to our Video gallery, like so:
Multimedia - Video Files / The Elwood Blues Revue / Viewing Elwood Blues Revue w/ Wilson Pickett - "Land of 1000 Dances" (Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary) :: Blues Brothers Central
(Thanks to HumanBiped for posting this video!)
Wherever possible, we'll be linking the Youtube user with their Blues Brothers Central username. If they aren't a member, we'll provide due credit in the video notes.
We're also providing a high quality MP4 download for members if they want to keep their own copy of the video (similar to services like Keepvid etc)/
Additionally, the Multimedia on the site now appears in multiple places, like so:
Lyrics - B Movie Box Car Blues :: Blues Brothers Central
As you can see, if you scroll towards the bottom of the page you can find any videos/audio that feature this song.
Another example here:
Lyrics - Can't Turn You Loose :: Blues Brothers Central
Also, you can view multimedia on the pages for gigs:
Winterland Ballroom (31st December 1978) :: Blues Brothers Central
From the gig itself you can download the bootleg and watch videos.
The same thing also applies to the band pages:
The Blues Brothers (Jake and Elwood) :: Blues Brothers Central
You can view videos, bootlegs and audio for that particular band, for example, if you only want to see the Rob Paparozzi multimedia:
The Blues Brothers Band (Ft. Rob Paparozzi) :: Blues Brothers Central
I'm working on an interface to allow members to suggest Youtube videos to the site, once approved by moderators they will appear in the gallery.
I'm also trying to add some new multimedia, including a few bootlegs (that have already been posted on the forum), and an option to download each bootleg in one file (instead of individual tracks!).
If you have any multimedia content you'd like to submit to the site, please send me a private message and we'll see what we can do!
And finally, as always, if you see any bugs/errors or have any suggestions/comments about any of this, please let me know
