Lotusphere 2010: the video behind "Nuttin’ but stringz"

March 19 2010

I almost missed this among the video treasures left behind by Lotusphere 2010.  During the opening general session, the action started off with a great musical act called "Nuttin' but stringz".  Behind them, on the 100 foot screen, was a video montage -- of a whole bunch of Lotus and Lotusphere videos from the past.  There are R5 ads, work the web videos, Lou Gerstner appearances, and more.  It's a great video, and in my opinion, too good to leave behind after only two minutes of background attention.

So, I posted it on YouTube.  The backing track is the same "Nuttin' but stringz" piece they played live, so if you dig it, YouTube is being kind enough to recognize the copyright and offer the track.  Much easier than me finding a way to post the video without sound, which wouldn't be that much fun, anyway.

    This piece is simply wonderful. I'd love it to be part of the "Lotus Knows Marketing Materials" available to partners for events and marketing.

    What are the use rights for this great work ?

    I loved the live performance at LS2010

    Very cool video. The last 40 seconds or so would make a great prime-time TV ad...

    Thanks Ed,

    I thought it was one of the most inspiring openings for any of the Lotusphere opening sessions that I have attended. "Nuttin' but stringz" was the perfect score for it.

    Agree we could use it for the LCTY would be nice

    I agree with Keith. This would be extremely cool at Lotusphere Comes To You 2010 if you can still swing it.

    We're showing this in St Louis at LCTY today, I assume it's in the kit for the others.

    Great ad potential. Not sure why we aren't seeing it where it will make a difference.

    Nuttin' But Stringz plays great music. I thought it was a travesty when William Shatner walked out on stage right after their performanc and said something like "How about that drum act!" I was just waiting for a violin to come flying out from back stage.
