Title: 24 May 2007: it's 1971!
Post by: RGMike on May 24, 2007, 08:15:54 AM
So said the promo last nite, unless I was dreaming.  Does this mean some sort of special pre-holiday weekend set for Friday?

I am wondering if, after having Joel Selvin in for a very lengthy chat this morning & playing a bunch of stuff from the 'Summer of Love', maybe we won't get a 1967 set tomorrow.

Nice! I was hoping after the previous three sets we'd be due to head back to the early 70s--1971 will do nicely. Would love to hear Carly Simon's Anticipation, or maybe one of Carole King's great hits from Tapestry. Or in the One Hit Wonder category, Lobo's Me and You and a Dog Named Boo, which I recall being EVERYWHERE on Top 40 radio in the summer of '71.

Just scanning thru the Top 40 Hits site '71 list--man, there were TONS of great singles that year.

But we start with Funky Katrinassau.  Can Dave & Ansel Collins be far behind?

you & me both -- Dave shamefully underplays both artists. I've never heard "Anticipation" in 15 years of 10@10-ing.

That 5MEB tune is sounding katrinish to me too. Maybe because it never quite rings true to me--I dunno.

But now here's a serious  BOS candidate--Ray, Dave, Mick, and John singin' about takin' off their clothes and livin' in the jungle.

I wanna get out of this city alive, and make like an Apeman...

BOS The Cat Man -- Dave makes up for omitting this from the Earth Day set.

"Switch on summmer from a slot machine" -- I think Cat has his AC confused with his Magic Fingers.

Dave's not wholly afraid of '71 cheese; don't be surprised to get Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds.

So he's doing '67 tomorrow, then?  I'm very surprised -- I thought he'd wait until June 1 for the "Sgt. Pepper" anniversary (a/k/a "It was 20 years ago today," 20 years ago today).

I think Maggie may be a Katrina.  But nice to hear the intro-before-the-intro.

We don't know that for sure; mshray was simply speculating earlier.  He has also, on occasion, done a summer-y set before Mem'l Day, esp if he knows he'll be on vacay in June.

Can't grouse too much, but I'm kinda jonesing for something I haven't heard here before, and like yesterday's set, so far it hasn't happened. Love most of what we've heard so far (Signs not so much) but just itching for some new turf to be broken.

I think the '67 thing was a wish, not necessarily a definite deal. With the whole Summer of Love thing featured in the Chron it'd be apropos, but after going to '71 today, I'm not sure what to expect.

This is a record I got so burned out on, I gave it away.  I never do that sort of thing.  It sounds OK now.

Mr Kongas steps on you again.  A Dave fave that's a Narada for me; never heard it before moving here.

As I've said before, the LP was critically trashed at the time, but it sounds great 35 years later.

BOS3 BBs, "Surf's Up". But I fear our hopes for a bustout are fading...

yeah, I voted for SU via IM, but everything we've heard has been played before.

But this sound bite is new, I think?

I loved the album from the time I first heard it ... of course I was just a "kid" back then...

Annalisa's trivia question, essentially, was "how many members were in the FIVE MAN Electrical band?"  Well, she didn't say the band's name, she said "the band that did 'Signs'".

Fogheads guessed "3", "4", and "8" before we got a winner...

Post by: urth on May 24, 2007, 11:20:48 AM
Thank god, the bonus track was better than the question (how many members in the band that did signs?). But he went for his first option, Allman Bros. Band Statesboro Blues.

I was hoping the Foghead would call an audible and ask for Mountain Jam or In Memory of Elizabeth Reed tho. That's really throw Annalisa for a loop--but she could have had a long coffee break!

I don't think it's a Katrina, and even if I did, it'd still get BOS from me.  One of my favorite horn charts ever.  And Chuck Eddy, former Voice music editor, played this in his DJ set that I caught a slice of last Friday night, so extra TANC points.

I doubt the latter caused "too many people / LOSING WEIGHT!"
