My favorite year...
But ELP were big in '73 so there might be synths ;)

My favorite year...
But ELP were big in '73 so there might be synths ;)
Is there an anti-synth bias here that I have not previously discerned...?
[Oh, now I see... I guess I should read ahead.]
ELP were indeed big then, but I felt that they were already in decline. I did not think that BSS
was quite as good as their earlier works. I'd love to hear something from Larks' Tongues in Aspic,
Selling England by the Pound, In a Glass House, or even TTO, but if I thought that was going to
happen then I should be buying lottery tickets. (Or Head Hunters, or Ashes Are Burning...)
Anyway, I don't particularly think of 1973 as a "synths" year.
-
'76 and '73 in the same week. Been awhile since that happened. (Let's hope the setlist backs up my expectations.)
-
should be good, I hope to listen in..
-
First time listening live in a good while... can't hardly wait!

TOTHK: "What is Hip?", TOP. I feel like we just heard this recently.
ETA: RR played it (also as TOTHK) in Feb., in one of her better '73 sets. But it's a bit of an FF, wonderful as it is.

TOTHK - Tower Of Power "What Is Hip?"

Yeah, it seems like it appears a couple times a year, which probably does qualify it as an FF. But can you think of anything better to have to hear once every six months?
VHM BOS Dancin' With Mr. D. From the era when Mick & Mick & Billy P. were driving the Stones while Keef was on the nod.
ETA: On further reflection this is def. BOS-worthy. Not my fave from this era, but we did just hear Fingerprint File, iirc.

Once we're past the inevitable "stream is behind" comments.

rare-ish Stones gets a VHM.
OMG, you guys! I had an eighth-grade english teacher who went by Mr. D -- and he was also a dance teacher!

Lincoln Mark IVs were/are the shit.

Are these Jethro Tull flutes?

TANC: I was sitting in our vet's office a couple of days ago listening to the local Hot Young New Country station they had on, and it occurred to me that if the Marshall Tucker Band was around today (in its original lineup), they'd be HUGE.
A country rock band with a flute player -- how amazing is that?

Ditto on the OMFG. Don't think it's a bustout, but close enough. But I bet there's massive screaming going on over in GS-land.
-
Magnum Force "a man's gotta know his limitations" --> F.Mac "Hyp-mo-tized". VHM to a classic Moreytrina.

BOS Harry Callahan and Clown Alley.
edit: uhm, I think Clown Alley, if it DID appear in a Dirty harry movie, was in Sudden Impact. I dunno, I'm tired and hypnotized.

the thing is, this doesn't sound like the raspy-ass Tom Waits that he would become. I actually checked Wikipedia to make sure there wasn't a cover version that year.

It definitely grew on me. Today's 10@10 has been like Music School.

yeah, but... I bet Mary Lou joined up with Billy Joe and Bobby Sue at some point. That's some threesome right there.
I love Madeline Kahn!
-
Madeleine Kahn in Paper Moon --> "Keep on Truckin".

Paper Moon ---> Eddie Kendricks "Keep On Truckin'"
And I'm liking it... two funky songs in one set!

The Partridge Family ---> Bruce Springsteen "Growin' Up"

Here comes the rejoicing.
-
The Partridges were on the downward slide in '73. But Brooooooooce was "Growin' Up"! BOS5 and more 'snipe rejoicing.

Yeah, one would think that he never appears on 10@10 ::)

The Partridge Family continues ---> Marvin Gaye "Let's Get It On"
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Let's_Get_It_On.jpg)
-
more Partridges --> "Let's Get it On". Cute segue, but I'd love to hear "Come Get To This" some '73 set.
-
And Marvin Gaye becomes the third R-n-B-leaning song in this set, which must be close to a record for a non-Soul Patrol.
-
J. Geils Band "Give It To Me"
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/J._Geils_Band_-_Bloodshot.jpg)

BOS6 the mighty J Geils Band -- "Give It To Me", Woofa Toofa!
ETA: the looooong version!
-

indeed, tho' from my jaundiced perspective, all three were a tad too tried'n'true.
Overall, this was pretty damn solid -- a marked improvement over yesterday.

Yeah, his vocal style changed drastically over the four years between this and, say Small Change. (And would continue to do so for another decade at least.)
ETA: Had to duck out for a few minutes so missed everything after the Steve Miller. Hope they are quick about getting this posted to Soundcloud; I'll replay it again this afternoon. Overall seems like a pretty strong effort, although I get Tim's point about the R&B choices not being exactly obscure.

Funny... I was just reading in the All Music Guide... they described MTB as "derivative southern rock" at its worst.... I very much disagree.
Maybe not the worst...

Nope. I think it's one of best songs of all time, and the only downside to hearing it a couple
of times a year on 10@10 is that it is an indication of a lack of effort to break new ground.

How in hell is MTB "derivative?" Sheesh... whoever wrote that sounds like an idiot.

I think this set would have been improved with more synths...
:)

While on the whole AMG is very good, every so often personal bias creeps in.

I have seen too many errors in AMG to put much stock in what they say. And sorry, MTB is certainly not very original, if you don't like the word 'derivative.' I saw them back in their heyday, opening for the ABB, and it was a pretty pale comparison.

My quarrel is with the term "derviative," which implies that MTB is not Southern rock, just
something similar and related to it. However I think they are squarely in that genre, with no
qualification needed. While I enjoyed hearing Take the Highway in this set, I am not
familiar enough with their work overall to render an informed opinion on whether they are
original and/or talented. Their few appearances on 10@10 are evenly divided between this
song and Heard It In A Love Song.
