pre-emptive 10-way tie, no doubt, but yay for Psychedelic Pstones, "Dandelion".  I was just discovering Top 40 radio when this was in the Top Ten.

I'm listening on the radio this morning (streaming is still against the rules), and reception really sucks.  Unless I hold onto the antenna with one hand.  REALLY difficult to get much work done that way.

Post-set music not too shabby either, David Gray notwithstanding. We've heard Marley's Roots Rock Reggae and now the Dan, Deacon Blues.

Learn to work the saxophone...

Pete Christlieb rules on this one.

ETA: Love that understated pizzacato guitar solo that the tune ends with, too. Not sure who played that tho--maybe Larry Carlton?

hooray for Vanda & Young -- they had Friday on their Mind long before they noticed that Love is in the Air.

yeah, but this is becoming the most colossal of Katrinas.  Even more so because we always get a snippet of Easybeats every Friday at 5:00 anyway.

True. It's similar to what happens with certain Dave faves in '68 and '69 -- since we don't visit those years that often, frequent fliers become Katrinas more easily (hello "Na Na Hey Hey" and "Someday We'll Be Together"). I'm so grateful that we still visit the '60s at all that I try to cut Dave slack.  Better the Easybeats in '67 than Crowded House in '87.

Only in the sense that future visits to 1967 won't be 40th-anniversary.

Had a great time at the Sly & the Family Stone concert, though it's not something I'll wildly or widely recommend.  Deets to follow after a night's sleep.

I was already awake, listening to a Nov '75 Casey Kasem Klassic, but I switched over just in time to hear that fab '67/'70/'76 trifecta, right after I heard Casey play "Born to Run" at #23 -- its PEAK position!! One of the most mind-boggling pieces of chart trivia I can think of.

Just noticed that the KFOG site (and hence the above list) shows Are You Experienced for the Hendrix track; it was actually Purple Haze. Dave started to announce AYE during the backsell, then caught himself and correctly read Purple Haze, but guess he didn't correct the list he gave to the intern.

After the week I had last week (don't get me started) I welcomed the opportunity to sleep in, so I missed '67 entirely, woke up for the latter half of '70, then drifted off again and arose for good during the '76 set. Luckily, got home last night in time to turn on the recorder and captured '67 that way--just finished giving it a closer listen now, as I was far too distracted yesterday morning. (Anyone know of any good editorial gigs around SF? Or washing cars? Slinging hash? Just about anything sounds good compared to the way things are going at my current gig.)

I can so relate. I missed 67 entirely day, nite and replay. Did catch 70 and 76 whicle running around this morning. Just FAB. LOVE 70. Can't believe I missed the BOS Lulu. Would you burn me a holiday copy of 67?

Howz about a post holiday lunch and Amoeba run? I'm involuntarily off work all week.

If you want to expand your search to NYC I can provide you with a few strong leads.

Also, the Bay Guardian was looking for a new copy chief a few months ago (I very nearly threw my hat into that ring); would that be of interest?  Or too drastic a pay cut?  (I know all too well the finances of alt-weeklies.)
