BOS to "What Does It Take," one of my all-time favorite song openings (along with "More Love" and "Lover's Concerto").

"Todd is Godd"-given azz.

BOS to that and BOS2 Jr Walker. I smell a 10-way-tie, but I'm not sure what the obscure early Bread tune he's mentioned will be.

I'll see your "Lover's Concerto" and raise you an "Opus 17". ;)

ah, White Bird must fly, or she will die.

Ooh, good call - that one should be in my Top 10 too.  And "Reach Out, I'll Be There."  Anyone else got favorite openings to add?

The Bread tune had to be before their first Top 40, which was "Make It With You" in July/Aug 70.

Steam officially needs to be banned -- worst '69 Katrina ever. (this is it's 12th appearance, and that's just per the shraytabase -- imagine how many times Dave played it pre-db)

at least by playing it early Dave gives himself time to win us back.

Love those ol' 7UP (and Coke/Pepsi) ads. Are they available on CD?  That ad just gave me a flashback to being in art class in 7th grade in 69/70 with Peter Max posters on the wall (had pretty hip music and art teachers then). And still have my 45rpm of Spiral Staircase!

and I just noticed that "Starecase" (a classic '60s wrong-spelling-on-purpose) is misspelled "Staircase" in the shraytabase.  Get on that, wouldya Mark? ;)

WOS "Oh Darling" -- (a) it's one of my least-fave Beatles songs because (b) they ripped off Charles Brown and (c) Little Steven played it last nite and once a month is plenty.

Wow, you're right, I just checked my Whitburn Top 40 book and had never caught that correct spelling before.  Amazing what you learn from 10at10!

is the stream that far behind the over-the-air version? You posted your BOS3 a full minute before the Bread song ended on my stream.

It's Underture all right, but not the one that appears on the original LP, unless I'm very much mistaken.  Or maybe I'm just confusing it with the Overture.  That could be it...

you're definitely ahead of me, geoff.

For a few secs I thought the Zep intro was the intro to "Sweet Cherry Wine". LOL!

one of those classic intros that has nothing musically to do with song, and I couldn't place it for a while either!

I was pretty sure it was going to be something good, considering how generally subpar last week was (75 conception set notwithstanding). That said, I have my yoga class tonight, so I'll probably miss the beginning at the very least. Going to try to set up to archive, but that may not work.

Disagree. I will forever associate this as a fond memory of the final game at the Stick. Thousands of people singing along. Many tears.

I think I'm with Alicat on this one, not just for the sentimental reasons mentioned, but 'cause the orchestration of this song sounds completely unique (although a case could be made that it borrows a bit from Spector)--thanks mainly to the vibes.

It may meet the basic definition (it's in more than 25% of the '69 sets in the DB, 12 of 41 if I counted correctly), but I have no problem hearing it two or three times a year.

And BOSx+1 to Spiral Starecase.
