Title: 3 April 2015: It's 1970!
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on April 02, 2015, 09:30:25 PM
Request thread is up. As always, some stellar requests. So far, the LN suggestions have been minimal.

Two 70s sets in a week! Glad that can still happen once in awhile!

indeed -- I think under the old DC rules, 1970 counted as a '60s set.

Well, nice to salute Joni, even if "BYT" is an FF.

Some welcome pop from Bobby Bloom -- will it be the Dave Morey fave "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" coda version?

ETA: nope

Flaming Embers! Deacon Jones drinking bathtub gin and checking out Bobby Sue's snoogies. A longtime DaveFave that has become one of mine, too. BOS1.

and another salute to an ailing singer: Mr Greenbaum finds Jeezus.  I'd've preferred "Canned Ham", obviously, but whatevs.

I'm thinking the Airplane will make an appearance too.

Anyone else on the sick call list?

This was one I loved as a pre-teen. Couldn't get enough of that fuzz-bass part.

Volunteers was a Nov '69 release but got the bulk of its airplay in '70

No secret I love the Kinks, but I was not itching to hear Lola for the umpteenth time.

Aside: Saw "The Wrecking Crew" doc last weekend, in which Leon is featured prominently, both in current-day interviews and photos from back in the day (before he had all the facial hair). Great film -- if you haven't seen it yet, you should. (And this song gets a BOS from me as well.)

the 'oo -- OK, I'll give "The Seeker" a BOS2. But we've been spoiled by multiple bustouts this week so I'm a tad disappointed.

ETA: It looks like the Leon Russell mighta been a bustout, amazingly.

Yep, it happened here too. I had to disconnect and reconnect to restore the audio.

Oh, KFOG... only 33, and apparently too old to rock and roll.

I acknowledge that it takes a certain kind of skill to produce set after set of ten
songs that skew heavily towards pop, contain few if any bust-outs, and yet are
largely composed of tracks that have seen relatively few spins.  I just wish that
skill wasn't exercised so frequently, particularly on the '60s sets (and I regard
1970 and 1971 as musically more a part of the '60s than the '70s.)

I mean, when Norman Greenbaum's Spirit In the Sky is one of the rockingest
songs of the set...
