Take That, Chris Bliss! Remember the guy who did the juggling routine to the Beatles song? This guy kinda kicks his ass by doing it in a ratty school gymnasium with five balls rather than three.[More:]Thoughts:
1. Just goes to show that an original idea is sometimes more powerful than superior execution.
2. But superior execution is awesome to see and really raises the bar for the next innovation.
3. To be fair, this guy seems to have spliced his routine together by editing the different camera angles, where Chris Bliss did his in real time.
4. Still.
5. And anyway, it's rewarding enough, all by itself, just to use this as an excuse to sit and listen to the incredible "Golden Slumbers" medley one more time. When that drum solo introduces "Carry That Weight" -- chills, always.

Two things Chris Bliss has that this guy doesn't:
a. an audience
b. hair

This guy's incredible. I liked the middle of the guitar solo (i think -- the part where it goes "Dum daaaa; dum daaaa; dum daaaa" or maybe "oh yeah... all right....") where he grabs the balls across his body and flings them up in rhythm. The whole final minute or so is the dog's bollocks.
