What Happened to Good Set Design?

I have to send a big thank you note to @tomeells for tweeting me some links to the most amazingly classic music videos.

 

Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz: The Girl From Ipanema, 1964

 

Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66: Mas Que Nada, 1967

Can I get Sergio to play at my potential wedding reception? I love the music, the fashions, and more than anything the set design. I'm not sure why people don't perform in this type of setting anymore, but I would definitely start watching music videos if they did. Thanks again Tom!

p.s. Check out the girl in the gold dress in the second video. The earrings are wild!
