action-packed musical promos

I remember these musical promos. They sounded like they were action-packed. One was used, I believe, three times. The other was used, I believe, only once. The former was used to promote Corvette Summer on KBHK-TV, The B.R.A.T. Patrol on the American Broadcasting Company, and Christmas Comes to Willow Creek on CBS. The latter was used to promote CHiPs Patrol on KBHK-TV. Are the musical promos just made up for those types of things, or are they from popular songs?2604:2000:7113:9D00:941F:ED36:4BCA:DF27 (talk) 04:51, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Stage pyrotechnics, etc.

After watching Shania Twain's half-time performance at the Grey Cup game, I have become curious: When was it first done, and when did it become commonplace, that a musical performance on stage would be accented with fireworks? And what about the similar use of bursts of flame?

(That's four questions, all related.) --69.159.60.147 (talk) 05:55, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

The article on pyrotechnics states that "Pink Floyd were without a doubt the innovators of pyrotechnic use in concerts." That would indicate the late 1960s. Wymspen (talk) 11:24, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Not necessarily, as it doesn't say how long after the band was formed they started doing it. But thanks. --69.159.60.147 (talk) 11:42, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

The article mentions a particular song, which dates to 1968 - though they ,may not have used pyrotechnics from the first performance. Wymspen (talk) 19:03, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

As a quick data point, see Monterey Pop Festival, which included smoke bombs set off by The Who (and, more famously, a guitar set on fire by Jimi Hendrix). While they were smoke bombs rather than fireworks, it's pretty clearly in the same kind of category. Matt Deres (talk) 15:19, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

That's, that's indicative. --69.159.60.147 (talk) 20:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks should probably be mentioned, 1749. --Wrongfilter (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

But surely that's a fireworks performance accented with music, rather than the reverse. --69.159.60.147 (talk) 10:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Civilized musical pyrotechnics (1749): Handel. Civilized musical pyrotechnics (2009): Shots by LMFAO. Civilized musical pyrotechnics (2249): that but synchronized with real scrotal hits and fake blood spurts. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 03:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Asadhyudu 2006

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
I should've asked This question A long time Back: Asadhyudu is an Indian Movie on Youtube with Telugu Language & English Subtitles maybe too. Prakash and Thambi are [F-A-Holes Criminals along With their Henchmen] terrorizing the City, but 1 day, Thambi gets into fight with [Pardhoo main hero a tourist from a different city]. Pardhoo kills Thambi hilariously, but Pardhoo finds out later about Thambi's death. Pardhoo should not apologize to Prakash because Prakash is a goon. When Pardhoo apologizes to Prakash, Prakash probably says, "I did not expect you to have courage to come straight to my place but I still want to kill you." 1. Main Question: Why does Prakash still want to kill Pardhoo? Is it because Thambi was evil? Is it because the public is happy about Thambi's death? Is it because Prakash's evil empire collapsed half-way due to Thambi's death?(98.239.113.209 (talk) 15:14, 27 November 2017 (UTC)).
