Please let it be the good '77, not the evil '77.

So far so good--the late Steve Gaines workin' out on the frets, 'cause he knows a little...

If Dave gives us the same ratio of rarities-to-Katrinas as Bob did in '76 earlier, I'll be satisfied.

We're off, you know, to a Klaatu land.  I wish Dave'd play "Sub-Rosa Subway" instead of this once in a while.  Maybe Klaatu can reunite for the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still...

Not exactly a rarity (7 appearances since 02) but I have no complaints.

It's still one of my fave Miller trax, overplayed tho' it may be.

Per the DB, Dave's done a pretty good job of spreading the (Book of ) Love around--he's played four different songs from the album, and none more than three times during the span of the DB.

Ah, now here's your rarity: BOS2, Feats New Delhi Freight Train.

And I left my life behind...

It was making annual appearances from '03 to '05 but this is its first in nearly 3 years, amazingly.

BOS2 ELO, the single that finally broke them wide open, despite their having had several Top 40 hits.

Just struck me how much this sounds like something Lou Reed could have done, particularly around New Sensations.

When it first came on, I thought it was Lou Reed.  Didn't take long to notice it wasn't, but that was my first impression.

And the album can be called MAMA KIHN.

It's an odd record, or at least i thought it an odd single choice.  It peaked at #12 but radio generally wasn't fond of it.

Plenty of fast action on the Fonz pinball machine!

Totally missed the set today. In for the replay. Dave read a letter this morning about 8am from a Foghead who moved to Boulder. She talked about the 10@10 there and how it was OK but KFOG was better. Peter sounded like he never heard of another 10@10 show and wondered why Dave didn't "copyright" or do something to tag it as his personal franchise. Dave said "too much work."
It can't be possible that they don't know about the other shows.

Peter was either faking it/playing dumb or else his brain short circuited.  He used to freakin work at KBCO!!  He knows Ginger!!  And both Bob & Ginger have told us that before they started theirs they got at least informal approval from KFOG.

Just struck me how much this sounds like something Lou Reed could have done, particularly around New Sensations.

It's odd, but this song is a Narada for me -- you'd think a song called "Madison Avenue Man" would've gotten airplay in NYC (his other stuff from that period did, so it's not like WNEW-FM et al didn't know who he was), but this flew under the radar in '77.
