TOTHK: the Band, "Rag Mama Rag". BOS1. It would be nice if this were followed by Aretha's cover of "The Weight", one of my requests, but I'm not holding my breath.

Live set?   This has a Cajun feel, so it sorta fits Mardi Gras...

Chicago's "Beginnings" is hardly rare, but I never tire of early CTA, and neither do the characters in my work-in-progress.

Laugh-in --> "Marrakesh Express". BOS5 to another personal fave. Transistor radio-under-the-pillow memories from the summer of '69.

From  Chicago to the Cash/Dylan duet, to Peter, Paul & Mary, to White Bird, to CSN,  this has been the most vocally harmonic set in my memory.

BOS eeverything!

I'd also call it a fairly "geezer"ish set -- not a lot of obvious sops to the kids, with overplayed oldies they grew up hearing (your "Sugar Sugar"s and "Na-Na Hey-Hey"s).  And that's fine with me.

Gary Owens and more Laugh-In --> OMFG Neil D, "Brother Love", my longtime request!  uber-BOS7, obviously

Oops!  Geography error.   Burbank is across the Hollywood Hills from the San Fernando Valley.

But I still loves me any Laugh In clip.

OMFG2!  "Brother Love" !!!
