Zappa promised with some "hygiene advice" -- a reference to not eating yellow snow? or dental floss?

proxy WOS for Gaz, as GFR moves around the floor in a local motion.

followed by Skynyrd making a breeze -- it's a Gaz WOS twin-spin!

VHM EJ's epic rendering of "LSD".  Ponderous yet audacious.

This flashes me back to Thanksgiving '74 -- the day after, actually, when I went to work (a department store -- never work retail at Xmas time!) and one of our cow orkers was regaling us with the tale of the EJ concert she went to the nite before at Madison Square Garden; yes, the one where John Lennon showed up as a surprise.  We were all in awe.

I would guess this is Pick Up the Pieces, but I always get so confused with Cut the Cake.

BOS2 AWB, Pickin' 'em up.  A late '74 release, presumably.

CTC has a few more lyrics.
Title: EC and the Sheriff

I always liked this, and as opposed to being a Marley ripoff, I think it introduced Marley to a lot of people.

Well, OK, I'll give Eric credit for that. The downside was it created the template for way too many tepid reggae-tinged excursions on his part.  He went to that well a few too many times over the years.

OMG! Al Wilson, "Show & Tell"!  BOS3 -- I always wondered if Lou Rawls was offered this one first, it souunds like it was written for him.
