At least it's short--and we should be glad to hear any Springsteen tune. But yeah, we hear that a lot, probably the most of any song in his catalog.

WOS, Follow You Follow Me. Genesis descends into the belly of the beast.

Remember that 'Fogheads at Fifteen' set we had a couple years ago?  Well I was 15 in '78 and had a couple of older friends who significantly expanded my musical horizons that year.  So far Dave is treading that turf for me, even including Genesis, of which my friend Brent was a big fan.  All we need now is some angry young men.

I still say this one's rather lovely -- certainly far better than what they descended into 4 or 5 years later. VHM.

Was just wondering if we'd hear anything from SNF in this set. Well, this doesn't exactly qualify, but it's a pretty short line from Saturday Night Fever to Shadow Dancin'. The Brothers Gibb could do no wrong in '78--'til Sgt. Peppers came out anyway.

You'll recall (now Congresswoman) Jackie Spier survived several bullets in the Jim Jones jungle while visiting Camp Kool-Aid with Congressman Leo Ryan in 78.  BOS4 "FM" (do you recall the instrumental version?)

Interesting comment, I always thought this was a straight line through "Deacon Blues" to "Babylon Sisters".  Very jazzy to my ears and not least because of the extended sax solo.

Saw a PBS documentary the other night on KTEH that looked quite closely at Peoples' Temple and Jonestown, and talked with several survivors including our new congresswoman. Extremely chilling.

if it's the same one I saw at the Red Vic about a year ago (and I think it is), it was a VERY good docu.

I did not, so thanks for the reminder.  An aunt by marriage lost one of her nieces there (in other words, my cousins' cousin).  She was a social worker in SF & had gone down to 'rescue' some folks, on the plane in before Rep. Ryan.

And I have to give a BOS to Journey, to me this is the pinnacle of there Steve Perry output.  Gets me every time.

ETA: On a closer listen...my comment above really only applies to "Feelin' That Way", not so much to "Anytime".

Yes, can't argue that. FM certainly has its jazzier elements, but the bass and guitar parts on this are heavier than they'd ever be again, harkening back to Royal Scam.

I know a woman from my old church who ended up being responsible for keeping track of bringing all those poor dead people back home to be buried.  So sad.

Can't argue that. But considering this is his first album with the band, that speaks heavily about everything that came after, even though they sold millions into the mid-80s.

Regardless, Toto's "Hold The Line" and "I'll Supply the Love" are secret faves from 78.
