Mike had posted this but it disappeared.  I'll repost myself: BOS1 to Miriam Makeba - who's playing Celebrate Brooklyn in Prospect Park in a few weeks (Isaac Hayes is playing two days prior to kick it off).

First visit this year.  Went 5 times last year (when there were lots of 40th anniversaries and birthdays) but only once in '06.

BOS #1 Ms Makeba!

BOS #2 Byrds doing Dylan

(they did this every bit as much as Manfred Mann covered Broooce, but got much less flack for it, n' c'est pas?)

Only the 7th total appearance by the Byrds in the Db, 3 of this song, 2 of "Eight Miles High", plus "Mr. Tambourine Man" & "SYWTBARNRS".

Didn't Cat Stevens record this early in his career (although this is someone else, I think)? Great tune, in any case.

The BOS parade continues--Dreaming, Cream. I'd have bet this was a bustout, but it's in the DB 3 times!

And still more: BeeGees, NY Mining Disaster...

Yay for "SF Nights" - a bit of sudden cognitive dissonance for me, as I'm reminded of how much I miss SF, how in sync I felt with things, and yet unable/unwilling to go back while I've got the career track going so well here in NYC.

Meanwhile, there are about 15 Beatles songs from '67 I like better than MMT.

It's not a terrible song by any stretch; it just seems like a kind of blatant attempt to jump onboard a scene he's not terribly familiar with. I mean, just the concept of a "warm San Francisco night"--how often do we get one of those around here? Maybe once or twice a year if we're lucky? And some of his other lyrical references are kind of silly too--I know we've talked about the "American Dream, includes Indians, too..." line.

Loving hearing the Hollies--yet another BOS.

The stanza about the Hell's Angels is a little off-putting. But he sold it all well.

it's another for the "Brits writing cluelessly about California" set, along with "Kids in America" and "Beach Baby". But I still adore it.

I had a feeling of deja vu about this, & in fact we had a 1968 set back in January that was requested by a kid named Shane on his 21st b-day.  That was the set where Dave played a clip of Da Mayor ranting about the Chicago convention, and Dave segued it straight into "I am the God of Hell Fire!"
