Title: 7 April 2006: 1969!
Post by: RGMike on April 07, 2006, 10:03:29 AM
A mild surprise, as it's only been a month since we last visited '69. But '73 is still MIA.

Nothin' but a heartache, baby!

damn, gotta drive to Sacto now, and I still don't have a radio in my car.  Have to catch the rest tonight or tomorrow morning.

Have a cheerful weekend y'alls!

Mmm, I really liked the Nixon -> Santana segue ... it definitely says something to me, though I'm not sure what.

Nothin' But a BOS.  I pictured in my head Goldie Hawn and Byron Gilliam fruging to it with long fringe daishikis flowing.

I heard the African predecessor to "Jingo" on RadioParadise some time ago.  I think it's called "Jingo Lo Ba" and it sounds quite a bit more primal.  Not rock and roll, but interesting to here where the inspiration came from.

Anyone read what Dave was referring to in his blog yet? Pretty interesting--it seems that Nixon had a speech ready in case the first moon landing went awry and Armstrong and Aldrin died up there. Obviously the occasion to deliver it never arose. It was made public in 1999, but this is the first I'd heard of it.

Talk about your vote of confidence in the technology, but I guess they knew there were variables that couldn't be predicted so were ready for any eventuality.

Never heard it, but  quick Google suggests it's by a midwest psychedelic group called "Frost".  How 'bout that?

BOS for the Isleys.  They are great.

Aw, hug a Jew.  It's "Let's Get Together."  Too bad Jesse couldn't follow his own advice.  (Oh, wait, Dino Valenti of Quicksilver MS wrote this, right?)

Sounded pretty vinylicious to me.  Actually that song sounded particularly muddy on the crappy stream.  When are they going to get some kind of fidelity on their stream?  Dang!

BOS BBs, "I Can Hear Music", a glorious cover version if ever there was one.

"Aaaargh!" to Steam, another of the most overplayed oldies of all time.

First we get Frost, now Steam. Nice one, DM.

Along with "Rock and Roll Part 2" and "We Are the Champions".  I heard the name for Steam came from the guys coming out of the studio some night and seeing steam coming through a manhole cover.  Of course, they weren't a real group at all -- just a studio invention.

I'd be more receptive to "Israelites" if Ginger hadn't played it the other day. Still, one of the great indecipherable lyrics of all time

"You touch me in the barn, you sound your alarm"? Wha?

Second time this week for Israelites--didn't Ginger play it a couple of days ago?

I think I was at that show. From what little I can remember of it. New Years' Eve, ya know....

We were eating dinner in an Afghan restaurant in San Rafael last year and he came in with a group of people. I think he'd been doing a performance/clinic for the Ali Akbar Khan School of Music, as there were students and all sorts of folks in the party.

Hmmm. Obviously I made an incorrect assumption.  :oops:

But it sure looked like him, and I thought I heard his name mentioned when introductions were being made. Now I'm wondering who it could have been.

Sorry, dude--your fears were realized. I rolled over and flipped on the radio for a sec when Sarah left for work at around 7:15 and heard Mystery Man, so knew 69 was the leadoff for today. Bummer.

On the other hand, I woke up for real at about 9:40 or so, and caught the second half of Sister Golden Hair, which meant I got my wish to hear Tuesday's 75 set one more time. Heard most of it Tuesday while on the bus going home from the Jeff Beck show, but this time I managed to catch Pinball, too--beauty. And the rest of the set was just gem after gem: Bowie, EWF, 10cc(!), Pete Wingfield(!!), GD, Todd(!!!), Kiss, Jigsaw--truly an inspired set. Friday's trip to '69 was nice but this was the set of the week, IMO.

I know, I was out of bed in time for the end of the Sunshine set & heard all the others.  Really did love that 75 set too.

That's the second week in a row that Dave has led off with the previous day's 60's set.  There oughta be a law...
