I mentioned that Chris matriculated to Stanford in '83 and was listening for the 1st KFOG birthday so he's nearly a charter Foghead (not sure if it's really true, but it could be). I then credited him with turning my on to KFOG & 10@10 (both true).
I figured the timing was exactly right, a Friday after a themed set.

Great stuff so far with "Liar Liar" and "Shakin' All Over". What would you say are the chances that we'll hear "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Satisfaction" , perhaps even consecutively?
-
Very enjoyable so far. Happy Birthday Chris!!!
-
Hey Mark, was that you that called in with the Henry Mancini story this morning? The guy said he used to be a limo driver in SoCal, so it had your fingerprints all over it.
-
I presume this was Eddy Cochran's "Shakin' All Over"

yep, see my recap in the Drive's 10@10 from this morning.
and yes, this is the same brother who was at the October gathering.
-
Yeah, it was Mshray -- see the Drive thread for the deets.
Missed "Liar, Liar" to my dismay. Now getting a song I thought was Aretha for *years*.
And yes, "Rolling Stone" and "Satisfaction" are cinches, as is something from (yay) the Beatles, probably either "Ticket to Ride" or "Day Tripper." I'm betting the former. Also betting that we hear from the DC5, maybe "Any Way You Want It." I just hope it's not "Because," one of the worst songs ever written.
-
I get so confused, Jeff Beck and/or Jimmy Page?
-
BOS to "Heart Full O' Soul." What a great riff. And the echo on the backing vox is a nice touch.

And if we hear "Rolling Stone" it'll probably be the longest song of the set by 2 minutes. I expect this set will probably be done by 10:35 at the outside.

I'm sure we get Beatles, but "Satisfaction" & "Like A Rolling Stone" might just be too obvious. Says here we get the Beau Brummels (SF's own) though.

You know, all three historic guitarists came and went in such a short span of time, it's astounding what sort of guitar vortex the Yardbirds were. Just like John Mayall.

I recall reading that Eric left after "For Your Love" because he wanted something bluesier, not so much pop and vaguely Eastern-sounding. Don't know if FYL came before or after HFOS, though.

the authoritative answer from Allmusic:
Song Review by Bruce Eder
"Heart Full of Soul" was the Yardbirds' fourth single and their immediate follow-up to their first hit, "For Your Love," but it was much more than that — it was the song that introduced the group's real sound, or something close to it, to the mass public, and also helped mark the opening of a new, experimental era in British rock. The song came from the pen of Graham Gouldman, a composer/performer (later with 10CC) who had also written "For Your Love." That earlier song, although it had been a hit, didn't really represent the group's sound; indeed, it had played a key role in the exit of lead guitarist Eric Clapton, who couldn't abide "For Your Love"'s pop music attributes, especially the use of the reverb-laden harpsichord as the lead instrument. The group's recording of "Heart Full of Soul," by contrast, was very representative of the Yardbirds' music and was a production that all members of the group pursued with interest and enthusiasm. Indeed, where Eric Clapton had been dealt out of "For Your Love," his successor, Jeff Beck, played a vital role in the arrangement and recording of "Heart Full of Soul." It had been the idea of the group's manager, Giorgio Gomelsky, to use a sitar as the lead instrument on the song — this notion got as far as a rehearsal and an attempt at a recording at Advision Studios in March of 1965, but the Indian musician brought to the session couldn't play in time with the group. It was Jeff Beck who saved the song and the session with his fuzztone guitar licks, which mimicked the sound of a sitar. With rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja playing a metal-strung acoustic guitar, the effect was a startling breakthrough on a pop single for the period. The song expanded the range of guitar sounds that the public knew and understood, in much the same manner as the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction," except that "Heart Full of Soul" was recorded first, two months earlier, and released before the Stones' recording was made. And where the latter song used the fuzztone guitar to imitate a Stax Records-style horn section, "Heart Full of Soul" reached outside of Western music altogether, imitating the sound of a Hindustani instrument. The song was not only a major hit (and, finally, one that matched the group's real sound) but an immensely influential record, inspiring hundreds of bands to try and imitate Beck's guitar and a significant number of those to look beyond Western music for their inspiration on songs. Along with the Beatles' "I Feel Fine" and the Stones' "Satisfaction," "Heart Full of Soul" heralded in a new phase of exoticism in popular music, letting the "genie" of musical experimentation out of its bottle and starting a process that would completely alter the shape of popular music, starting branches of psychedelic and progressive rock, in both of which the Yardbirds would participate fully. Strangely enough, after "I'm a Man," "Heart Full of Soul" remained in the group's repertory longer than almost any other song, right until the final tour with Jimmy Page on the eve of the group's transformation into Led Zeppelin.

sometimes I get this confused with Mohair Slim, or Mohair whatever.

You nailed it. Now known to a new generation as "that sax riff that plays during romp-sequences in movie ads."

oh - perhaps you've got it then. i probably have the wrong song.
-
BOS, and a good alternative to Like a Rolling Stone!
-
Ooh, excellent curve ball from Dave to play "Positively Fourth Street". A very nice choice, and a reallllllly swell set.

Right album, wrong song--second time this week.

MShray scores on the Dylan tip, though "4th Street" can hardly be called un-obvious. Still a great bitchfest.

none of the above, this was a single & didn't appear on an LP until Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits in '67.
-
not sure if this is the best Dave coulda done in choosing a Motown tune, but he's from that part of the country, so I defer. I don't even know if I've got the title right.

dave *always* goes for the supremes. i always go for the taco supremes.
-
what a classic garage band bass/guitar riff!
-
I think my BOS goes to the Animals. In this context this sounds so much more garage-like than it does when KFRC plays it.
Nice, simple, compelling bass line.

Title is correct, as is the assessment: CSAM sounds downright primitive compared to other HDH efforts ("Ask the Lonely" would have been a good one for this year).
Nice job with the Animals, though.

Gotta go for the 10-way here.

Ooh! "You Won't See Me" is a fine choice to close down this show. One of the first Beatle songs I remember hearing, along with "I'm Looking Through You," on the old cartoon.
Worth seeking out Anne Murray's saloon-worthy cover of it.

One of Lennon/McCartney's most catchy melodies. This is my fave period in Beatledom (Rubber Soul/Revolver).
And it sounds lovely, if only because we've never (or not for many many years) heard it in the context of 10@10.

I expect this set will probably be done by 10:35 at the outside.
with the backann, you'll be right on the mark.

I just don't think it ranks up with the others, that's all. Kinda dated and hokey. Of course, you young'uns might feel the same about the rest of the set too!

Well, this was most assuredly not a "good news week." At least I can chill to the Soul Spectrum for the next few hours, barring more workplace hassles.

dated, maybe, not hokey. i think the lyrics of "good news week" are very non-hokey. so much so that i pay attention to them!

And when was the last time we cranked out 6 pages of comments during the course of one (35 minute) set? Probably not since the old board, methinks.

Me too. My co worker was just asking me a question when Dave said that & my face musta looked weird, 'cuz she kinda apologized right away for asking & I had to say no, no, no, it's not your question that was strange.

I'm gonna for sure try to. I've been good about remembering lately, but if I'm out or fall asleep on the sofa, bad things could happen.
If it's the first or second set in the replay tomorrow, likely I won't get it--I'm NEVER up before 8:30 on Saturdays.

very funny. Those days may be over for a while as work Really. Really. Sucks. But I look forward to the replay, even if I did hear Hedgehoppers Anonymous yesterday on CG.
So Gaz, when did you finally figure out Fontella Bass wasn't Ree-Ree? A guy at my college radio station always mispronounced her name as "Fontella Base" (he was into instruments, not fish, I guess).
-
I look forward to the replay
indeed
-
BTW, Hedgehoppers Anonymous was one of Jonathan "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" King's many projects (I think he was involved with "Beach Baby" too). "Good News Week" was a huge hit in England but failed to make the Top 40 over here, though it was a regional hit that did quite well in a lot of markets (I'm guessing Detroit was one).
-
Well, if Urth doesn't get it on dat to disc, I'll get it on cassette and maybe try replay radio again if I can get it for a free trial again.
work sucks is kind of a universal thing eh? Remind yourself that a paid working day is better than an unemployed or unpaid day. :?
When things are rough at work, I just go to my happy place which at this point is Opening Day at SBC. I see CalTrain and envision myself on it, going up to SF. Pregame parking lot festivities, then no responsibility other than drinking beer, people watching, and cheering for the GIANTS! mmmmmmmm, happy. If for some unfortunate reason I do end up without a job come June, methinks I'll be spending lots of time at Giants day games if tickets are free.

Mission accomplished. At least the recording part. Hope to get it transferred to disc over the weekend.
