All Day Music!

ETA: But I'm wondering what DM meant by his reference to Magic? The Pilot tune by that name was 1975, I'm pretty sure.

the big dreaded STAR testing is going on, and I'm rushing around from room to room giving teachers bathroom breaks.  I'm here for a few minutes in the computer lab, waiting for my next assignment.  Got the cell phone headphones on, digging Heart "Magic Man."  potential BOS

He's a Magic Man.  Or maybe Jose's a magician (cause he's sure got the magic touch).

"Summer" was their only hit in '76, so I have to guess you're right.  And this was their very first hit without Eric Burdon, #35 in 1971.

Ah, didn't know he'd retired, but if he was on the air in 76 then he was due. I stand corrected.

This is the best set Dave has thrown together in a couple of weeks, imho.  When he's at the top of his game no one can touch him, with his wealth of clips, and (at least in the years within his sweet spot) his range of tunes.  Pretty sure no one else would play more than 5 seconds of the Bay City Rollers.

Ah nutz. Rod after he went Hollywood. Wish Dave'd dig further into his catalog in 1970-73, when he was still recording in Britain (or dare I ask, from his Faces years). We do get cuts from Every Picture Tells a Story, but not much else.

Agreed -- Dave is willing to play cheeze, and that's a GOOD thing. His sets are surely the most balanced in that regard (tho' Bob does occasionally throw in Cher and the Starland Vocal Band).  And Dave's political clips are second to none.

I never heard that attributed to Roger Fisher in all the years I lived in Seattle listening to KISW & KZOK deejays talk about the group, who were then 2nd only to Jimi Hendrix in terms of local fame.  Which doesn't exactly prove anything.  Of course the Seattle scene got just a tad more crowded since then, in no small part because of Nancy's husband.

Betcha didn't know that Heart was actually founded in 1963 (hard on the success of the Kingsmen) by the two Fisher brothers (Roger & Mike), and it was over a decade later that first Ann & then Nancy Wilson joined.  And Ann started dating Mike & Nancy started dating Roger.  I saw Nancy perform this solo live at some point when I was in college, but that would have been after Roger Fisher broke up with Nancy & left the group, so that doesn't actually prove anything either.  

I thought AMG would vindicate me but it doesn't attribute the solo either way.  Alas, Geoff, another cherished memory tarnished by the internet.

I don't think some cranky article about the 50 worst guitar solos proves anything, but I was always under the impression that the leads were done by Roger or maybe Howard Leese.  My connections to Heart are pretty ancient (sold a guitar to Leese many years ago, and Fernando Saunders played with them for a while) so who knows?
