Request thread is up.
-
A year that cannot suck -- I don't think Renee ever screwed '67 up, even. But I requested "Somethin' Stupid" and "You Better Sit Down Kids", neither of which I have high hopes for. But I'm taking Monday off so I'll be able to spend the set here and in 'snipeland.
BTW, AL sez on FB: "Choosing only 10 is always tough, but for this year I might have to lose count :)" Could that mean we'll 'go to eleven'?
-
I wonder if AL happened to notice my '67 set...
-
I will be listening to today's set, but I won't be able to post because I'll be in my car.
Someone else will have to take copious notes today!

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

first there is a mountain, then there "Ain't no Mountain High Enough", sez Marvin & Tammi.
-
It wouldn't be '67 with out grass... roots. "Live For Today".
-

Can't get enough of the clever segues of AL. How we got thru the last 18 months I will never know.
BOS1 Marvin & Tammi.
-
Mamas/Papas, "12:30" -- uber-uber-BOS (tho' we're pretty much in a 6-way tie so far)
-
BOS2: Young Girls are Coming To The Canyon, Mamas & Papas.
One of the Snipes requested this; I was really hoping AL would pick up on it. Done.
-
trailer for The Trip --> Beatles "Within You/Without You".
George getting Indian, which I love, even though the sitar playing is supposed to be basic. Good Sgt. Pepper's choice.
-
News: drugs and hippies. "At the Love-in" -- Chocolate Watchband!!
-
BOS3 Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-in)? Chocolate Watchband!
Another Nugget, in more ways than one.
-
Pirate Radio Newscast --> Stones "Dandelion"
-
more flowers: Cowsills, "Rain/Park/etc"
-
Nice dose of 60s psych-bubblegum. Now if we could just get a little more soul. (AL did hint at the possibility of "losing count" of the songs in the set today; here's hoping.)
-
Do the sound clips seem like originals, reruns, or a mix? Renee's were almost all reruns, correct?
-
Monkees clip > Daydream Believer.
Closest thing to an LN so far, but not one as far as I'm concerned.
Hope John Stewart held onto his publishing. He could have lived on this one for quite a while, and may well have.

I think AL may have used the Radio Caroline clip before, not sure about the others. But yes, RR pulled quite a few of hers from the Morey archives.

She's used the Monkees clip before, and Renee may have nicked it as well.

FYI: AL sez on FB that The Mamas & The Papas got BOS

I guess the worst thing you can say about AL's '60s sets is that they skew toward pop. (She
needs to raid her brother's record collection...) No bust-outs today, but none of the selections
have seen more than a few spins. The songs by The Hombres, The Mamas and The Papas, and
The Chocolate Watchband have each been played once before.

And to be fair, most of my requests from that era are cribbed from the Billboard Charts (hey, this which I've never heard of went to #6, why not play it?).

to which I would add: the pop charts, and Top 40 radio, were VERY interesting at the time, they were really all-over-the-map musically. I'd rather hear a rare slice of pop cheeze from the late '60s than a Hendrix track we've heard many many times. Or an actual rock Nugget like the Choc Watchband track.

When you say Hendrix, do you mean that obscure one-hit wonder Jimi Hendrix?

Yep, but we don't usually see that diversity in a 10@10 show. I don't necessarily have a problem
with the pop, but another great way to go in '60s sets is with harder/heavier rock, and there's
obviously a lot of potential there.

It's hard not to like a '67 set, and I did like this one for the most part, but they always seem a little touristy. I'd love to hear something that took me back to the days of KMPX.
