Barring a theme set (Instrumentals? Soul Patrol? Easter?) I'm gonna predict 1970, it's been 6 weeks since we were there. Too bad '71 was so recent -- Good Friday's always a good friday to pull out the JC Superstar medley.
Actually Murray Head's "Superstar" originally charted (briefly) in '70, so I wouldn't be surprised if we heard it as a stand-alone.

well, so much for my psychic ability -- it's '72. And there's a leafless tree in Asia.

Ah, you were close--just off by an hour--Ginger grabbed the 70 set for today.
But '72 ain't so bad. And starting with the Moodies ain't too bad neither. Proxy of 'Shray.

You and me just cannot fail if we never never never never never stop using bad grammar.

BOS Lighthouse, "Sunny Days" a WNEW-FM summer flashback, half-undressed just soakin' up the sun -- and possibly a spot-the-vinyl?

Glad to hear this was played somewhere--cause it sure wasn't out here. We didn't know what we missed--it is a great tune. BOS1

after midnight, Nixon and Chou-en Lai gonna let it all hang out!
-
ABB One Way Out
one of the best albums of all time!

Eagles Take It Easy
once I heard JB's version, this comes in second

Both SD and "One Fine Morning" were 'NEW staples, as were all things Raspberries -- who doubtless will make an appearance today.

Agreed, but this one is the huge sledgehammer for the summer of '72. JB's Doctor My Eyes, same thing.
Wonder what Steely Dan we'll hear?

See, now, One Fine Morning we heard a lot--why the west coast programmers didn't jump on Sunny Days too is beyond me.

WOS Grand Funk, stompin' they feets.

nice segue too, coming out fo all the war & terrorism newsclips.

I can't give you any sledgehammers, but I seem to remember hearing this, and I've never lived anywhere but the west coast.

ah Dave loves his Cabaret. It's where all the young dudes hang out. "dressed like a queen/but he kicks like a mule"

Was wondering if that was what that clip was. Def. worked nicely into ATYD. Ian Hunter et al owe their careers to Bowie dishing this song off to them.

Michael York's voice is unmistakeable, even more so than Liza's.

That's "Liza with a Z" :wink:
BOS2 Nils Lofgren & Grin, "White Lies".
-
Another DaveFave, Nils & Grin "White Lies."
-
I think I'll give my BOS to "White Lies" today. No particular reason, just sounds good since I'm working from home & have the volume cranked quite high.
-
You've got Sly Katrinin'. Again.
-
Sly's Smilin again...another BOS candidate, fersure.
-
And here's Todd the whizkid, being smug.
Hello It's Me or I Saw the Light coming up?
ETA: And it's ISTL--shivvers up the spine time. Something/Anything is a masterpiece.
-
uh-oh -- Mr BOS (aka Todd) is here.
I wish Dave'd let that track into that song that actually comes next -- a great instrumental whose name escapes me.
-
off for a camping trip, back late Monday.
Toodles!

the instrumental is "Breathless", WNEW-FM used it as the music bed for their weekly "Concert Happenings around NYC" PSA for years.

My best of week, and another reason to catch the replays tomorrow morning while I watch dirty snowflakes fall outside my new Brooklyn home.

Most def. set of the week, although the competition wasn't that strong. None of the other sets were particularly bad; just, as we've been saying a lot lately, kinda "meh."
-
Wow, do I hate the *recording of* "(You Caught Me) Smilin'," even if I love the song itself. That and Aretha's "The Weight" are literally difficult for me to listen to because of issues with the way the vocal's recorded. Yet I have never seen anyone else ever mention this. Is it just my ears?

yes, but for different reasons. i don't *hate* (you caught me) smilin', even if i notice the weird recording quality. it just reminds me of listening to a 45 through a not-so-good needle. but "the weight" is much worse. it sounds like listening to a really scratched 45 through an awful needle. especially when she says, "load."

I noticed this yesterday too. There were examples of intentional vocal distortion that work, like some old bluesy Fleetwood Mac, where it makes you feel like you're in some smoky Chicago club, but Sly seemed to be going for something different, which I also didn't appreciate as much.

Totally agreed, and as much as I love "I Saw the Light", any lesser-played track from S/A would've made the '72 set truly transcendent instead of just very good.
But hey, this week we have at least 2 Friday the 13th sets to look forward to.

Listening just now, I understand what you're saying, but isn't his vocal on "Family Affair" recorded similarly? That may be why I never really noticed (or singled out "(YCM)S") before. I just assumed it was an overall sound he was going for at the time.
