Title: 26 Oct 2007 -- yay 1967!!!
Post by: RGMike on October 26, 2007, 09:49:38 AM: '68 was a month ago; '67 2 months ago... I dunno. A shamelessly self-promotional "archives" set?

They've been pushing it pretty hard since yesterday, so I would be not at all surprised.

Well the album doesn't go on sale until next week Saturday, so we'll probably get the 10@10 set next week Friday.

we heard "Higher & Higher" 2 weeks ago in that VT, I'll be annoyed if Dave plays it again. BOS3 Byrds.

That was George Romney (Mitt's dad?) talking about Vietnam, I believe

Hey Mark, it was great to see you again last night. And by the way, I'm highly impressed to hear that Tarkus was your 1st album purchase -- very progressive!!

Cool seeing you again too! Walking out I was telling Dave that since we all work within a few minutes of each other we should have lunch once in a while.

Speaking of Prog, BOS #N+1 to the Floyd.

Hope you noticed the voice of the great Daws Butler (Elroy Jetson, Auggie Doggie and countless others) on that Raisin Bran spot.

Hey Urth, last night I saw a guy whose t-shirt was exactly your avatar, which is why/when I left you a voicemail.

A big WOW! BOS for Leonard Cohen. Pretty sure this is vinyl.

Sorry to say I was divided between the set and working, so I wasn't able to truly focus on that. Will HAVE to catch the replay tonight.

Third truly stellar set within a week. Amazing.

Depends upon how the individual defines BOS, i guess. "I'm a Believer" is a fantastic single, and always brings a smile to my face. But I wouldn't have voted it best in this crowd either.

"For What It's Worth" seems the most qualified to me, over-exposed as it might be. And, it lacks the innocent joy of the Monkey's tune. Polar opposites, really. But both great. As was pretty much everything else.
