I'll join the chorus praising the best version by far of Sweet Jane. But I missed the cool intro - was it all there?
Buttttttt, Better of Set for "Oh, Atlanta"!

HM The Streak. Streaking was so cool. So were CB radios.

Streaking was so cool.
depending on where you were, it could be downright chilly.

I call redundancy on Dave playing both "Sweet Jane" and "Rebel Rebel" in the same set.
-
Who's the "Easy Street" dude? Sounds like Gary Moore, but he wasn't doing solo stuff then, wuzzee?

LOL! My sentiments exactly.

I have no idea, but this has to be a breakout, and as such gets a BOS vote from me on principle. Love the bass line.

BOS2 to the Match Game wikka-chakka ponder-music.
We could use more game shows with political commentary.
-
Kool & the Gang commit some major hubris: singing about checking out their own show.
-
VHM Match Game, Gene Rayburn.
Just found, http://www.matchgame.org/
-
always a BOS for "H'wood Swingin'". But that Match Game clip was priceless.

y'know, Dave doesn't play enough Dead...

I remember Mo Betta -- he was a Jewish-Italian bookie...

"She's Gone" is one of my favorite tunes from the seventies, but who is this version by?
I need a drink and a quick decision...
-
Who's this cover of "She's Gone"? I know Tavares covered it for a minor hit, but this doesn't sound like their version.

OMG it's the Tavares cover! VERY nice. Dave's dug deep for Soul 2 days in a row.
-
She's JINXED! And I am thinking this is Tavares after all.

If you're stumped, too, then I don't feel so bad.

BOS #4 for Stevie!
'Cuz if you really want to hear our views, you haven't done nuthing...
Oh ho ho dooo de whop
-
Oooh, HM to Stevie, it's all about that kick drum going BOOOOUM--BOOOOUM--BOOOOUM--BOOOOUM
Anyone hear his new album, A Time 2 Love, yet? I've heard excerpts and was underwhelmed.

If it's not the Tavares version, I'm flummoxed. They did several interesting covers back then... I believe they did Edgar Winter's "Free Ride" too.

ditto on the "underwhelmed". got a bad review in EW, FWIW. They said it "sounds like the soundtrack to Stevie Wonder: The Movie."

I'll reiterate my question from last week: Why are today's hit artists so afraid to call the administration on its bullshit? Folks like John Mellencamp, Steve Earle, and Jonatha Brooke are doing their part, but they're hardly mainstream successes at this point in their careers. We need more Kanyes, in spirit if not aesthetic!

BOS Stevie

A couple years ago on VH1 I saw footage of them performing "Free Ride" on Midnight Special. Inspired choreography, and indeed, wonderfully wiggy taste in covers.
But speaking of wiggy covers, WOS to the Loco-Motion. Had they dropped the "Railroad" by this point? Most pointless cover ever, and that's saying a lot.
-
Although it was overplayed on WCBS til the station's demise, I'll give an HM to the great percussion (thank you, KC) on "Rock Your Baby."

We were waiting for that, and you did not disappoint.
BOS # whatever to the not-late George McCrae. (Poor guy was reported dead back in the '80s and it took years for him to set the record straight.)

I agree, but isn't that completely at odds with your quote?

I don't believe everything I quote. I just thought that was a great line. (It was spoken by Stephin Merritt, I believe.)

Anyone know what that TV theme was that Annalisa just played for the Bonus track quiz?
-
I miss you guys!

LOVE your avater Rod. Makes me happy everytime I see it.
Funny you should say that, Alicat--I could say the same thing about yours. :shock: :shock: :shock:
Was dealing with vehicular ills this am but did manage to catch nearly all of the set--only missed the Edgar Winter and K&theG while I was on Muni. (Not bad going from Forest Hill to Montg'y St. and only missing two songs...) although I'd love to have heard Easy Street--haven't heard it in a good long while. But I'd have been more bummed to miss the She's Gone cover--I had no idea who it was either. Replay here I come.
Pretty fine set in general, even with the assorted usual suspect (Lou, Bowie, Stevie). Not nearly as bothersome in 74 as say, the '85 usual suspects.

And now I LOVE yours! Who is that? Nice dress.

Jinx!!
It's Ann-Margret, I think.

It's Nicolette Sheridan from "Desperate Housewives" I believe.

I can't disagree with the WOS vote, in fact I got this album by mistake from the Columbia House record club back in the day & after half a listen never touched it again.
But I am afraid I have to disagree with this being The Most Pointless Cover Ever. Madonna's "American Pie" wins hands down and I DOUBLE DARE anyone to make a viable case for anything else.
At least Grand Funk was in the all-too familiar position (c.f. Idol, Billy) of finding themselves past their prime & scratching out one more hit with a popular cover. Madonna simply had no excuse. Like DiMaggios' hitting streak, her achievement is unmatchable.
I know the Princess agrees with me.

And I agree too. "Loco-Motion" is fluff, and as such anyone can remake it (and has: see Kylie Minogue, for another Top Ten example). "Pie" was a song totally of its moment in time, specifically about its author's love of music. To slash its lyrics to bits and slap a dance track over what was left ... just idiotic.

Perhaps indefensible, but I'll try:
I specifically recall sitting in a gay bar in Boston called Luxor (it now has a different name, and in fact may have changed names by this point), watching the video channel on the TVs for lack of conversation, and seeing Madge's video. I felt, much as you did, that this was utterly pointless and un-fun. But then I saw what seemed her ulterior motive: images of couples that defy traditional boundaries as she repeats -- "We started singing. We started singing."
The video's essential to the experience, but there you have it: A reminder of music's role as social, vocal protest.
Maddie bears a good witness when she wants to.
