Quake day!
Wish the recording of McCarver had gone on a bit longer before the power cut--you hear a slight bit of uncertainty creep into his voice as the first wave hits, then Al Michaels breaks in saying "we're having an earthquake" and they're gone.
BOS TFF.

Based on the last 3 10@10's I was hoping for 1977, with Dave just subtracting 2 years each day. Seeing patterns that didn't exist...

I'm curious--do any of them seem receptive to this? None of them were even born then, so it probably seems like ancient history to them.

After Ginger's spectacular '72 set just about anything would be a letdown, but '89 being one of our 2 least-fave years ('87 being the other), this is especially disappointing. But today's set is all about quake clips anyway -- and we've gotten the beyond-obvious "Everything's Broken" segue out-of-the-way early. BOS Mr Henley "End of the Innocence" -- I've said this many times, but even if he'd never been an Eagle, this song and "Boys of Summer" would earn him legend status.

I'm still reliving Ginger's set, this one is barely registering. But VHM to TFF & DH anyway.

I almost agree, except he didn't write "Boys.."

Nice obscurity from Del Amitri.

Didn't he write it with Bruce Hornsby?

so... he wrote the music and Campbell wrote the lyrics? per Wiki, Henley saw Joe Walsh driving a Cadillac (with a Deadhead sticker) on Sunset Blvd, which inspired that line.

"Innocence" was the one he wrote w/Hornsby

Yes for "End of the Innocence", but not the other.

Stuck between a Stone and a hard place.

Was that the song that followed Henley? I really enjoyed it, and I'm pretty sure I'd never heard it before anywhere.
This Stones song resonates with me in the framework of Loma Prieta, as the Stones played Oakland Stadium a couple weeks after the quake, which was my first trip into the bay area post-quake. I'd had tickets to a David Byrne show at the Warfield a couple of days after the quake that was cancelled, but I talked to a couple of people last week who swore they saw the Waterboys there right after Oct 17 as well, so some things were still going on in the city.

Oh yah, was just thinking of the song we heard -- not reading and understanding...

Yup, appears to be called "Move Away Jimmy Blue".
And regarding the earthquake...I'll never forget that my band "The Random Numbers" had a practice that night at the Stanford Band Shak. My girlfriend thought I was crazy to go there right after the quake because it was really decrepit, and would be condemned and destroyed a few years later. Nothing of note fell on us, even though we were really fucking loud.

per AMG:
The tune — written and almost entirely performed by Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers — is melancholic and gorgeous, and Henley wisely dials down his histrionic tendencies to deliver the most low-key vocal performance of his career, singing the verses in a quiet near-monotone that perfectly counterpoints the beseeching chorus.

Yeah, in '84 when Boys of Summer came out, no one knew who Bruce Hornsby was.

nasty flashback on the news account of the Cypress Freeway collapse - one of my best friends in grad school, Kelly, lost her fiance there, although she never told me herself & I only learned about it a year or so later through a mutual friend.
Hope you're doing well now wherever you are Kelly!

Did the stream just die for you too? I got no KFrOG.

the player just died. anybody else?

Yep, me too. Maybe there was an earthquake up there... :-)

Mark, you know about the Shak, right? See my edit above...

You're missing Todd, For Want of a Nail, which followed a report from Hollister about a number of buildings collapsing in their downtown.

if Dave wants cute segues, he could play a clip of someone talking about how well they're holding up, and then give us "My Brave Face".
-
welll... better we should lose the stream during an '89 set than on a Friday...
-
You guys still out? We just heard Eurythmics, Don't Ask Me Why. Followed by the Alarm, Sold Me Down the River, which followed a clip of Pete Wilson (the governor, not the news anchor) saying how the feds were on their way.

Yup, I'm hearing the Dandy Warhols instead.

yup -- both the version on the KFOG site and the WMP version linked to by geoff are kaput.

Another clip about how SF was fairly well prepared for this--that outside of the Marina there wasn't widespread damage. Followed by FYC, Don't Look Back.
This has gotta be tune # 10.

Yeah, Chris was telling me about the new Shak this past weekend, and I was asking him which of the old signs had survived. I have fond memories of the Lovelock 69, the Best Handjobs in Burlingame (or was it San Mateo?), and the swine flu if You Have Brought Sick Pigs signs.

All of those signs still exist, but a lot of them are just sitting in the office in stacks. (Actually, those three are all visible -- it's San Mateo). There are rules about where signs can be. The new Shak isn't Shaklike at all. Not my favorite, though there are a lot of great pictures of me and the other tenor saxes fairly high off the ground while playing.

...though there are a lot of great pictures of me and the other tenor saxes fairly high off the ground while playing.
Uhhh, did you guys like to pogo while playing or something? And if so, how many of you broke teeth after a bad landing?

Not so much pogo and just jumping. Never thought about the landing problem. No bad teeth, but blown out lips are expected, after all :-).

Yes, it's all ancient to them. Even the Indonesian Tsunami.

FYI, I dug out my 45 of the song and the writing credit is indeed "Henley/Campbell". Guess you gotta make a deal to get Don to record one of your songs.

1. Bob Dylan - Everything is Broken
2. Tears for Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love
3. Don Henley - The End of the Innocence
4. Del Amitri - Move Away Jimmy Blue
5. Stones - Rock & a Hard Place
6. Joe Satriani - Flying in a Blue Dream (BEST OF SET!!)
7. Todd Rundgren - The Want of a Nail
8. Eurythmics - Don't Ask Me Why
9. Alarm - Sold Me Down the River
10. FYC - Don't Look Back
So I wondered, since the news clips were all "date-specific", if the songs were too. Well, the TFF, Henley, Eurythmics, Alarm and FYC were all in the Hot 100 that week, as were such Morey '89 standbys as "Love in an Elevator", "Love ShAAAACK" and "We Didn't Start the Fire". And the Stones and Dylan LPs were charting too. (Interestingly, the Del Amitri LP didn't chart until April of '90).
Here's 10 singles that were charted that week that Dave's never played (and probably never will) but which sure would liven things up:
Bust a Move - Young MC
Cherish - Madonna
Healing Hands - EJ
Back to Life -OR- Keep On Movin' - Soul II Soul
Don't Know Much - Ronstadt/Neville
Shower Me With Your Love - Surface
One - Bee Gees
Kisses on the Wind - Neneh Cherry
Pump Up the Jam - Technotronic
Talk it Over - Grayson Hugh
and those are just from ONE WEEK in October...
