Title: 6 June 2008: Bo Diddley Beat
Post by: ggould on June 05, 2008, 08:33:16 AM
Dave said this morning he was taking suggestions for songs.  I suggested Quicksilver's "Mona."

here's the text of my email on Tuesday morning.

Hi Dave,

Just a thought.  Bo Diddley is such a giant in R'n'R history, and his signature beat has
been used so well by so many for so long, maybe you could do a special set for him on
Friday in honor of his passing.

Off the top of my head here's a short list of great songs with the Bo Diddley beat:

"Not Fade Away," "Willie and the Hand Jive," and "I Want Candy" all have multiple
versions to choose from.  And then there's the Who's "Magic Bus," Bruce Springsteen's
"She's the One," U2's "Desire," Pretenders' "Cuban Slide" and George Michael's "Faith".

Cheers!

Mark

I'm expecting this to be a pretty short set, but a good one.

Could be long if we get Dead's "Not Fade Away" + Bruce "She's The One" + Quicksilver "Mona" + Thorogood "Who Do You Love" = Excellent set!

BOS2 "Panic in DEE-troit", tho' I think its inclusion is a tad questionable -- a little too slow to be truly Diddleyish, IMHO.

Speaking of slow, here's your favorite slow hand.  Regarding the Bowie, I almost edited my post to say I don't really hear the unvarnished BDB in PID, but I could hear how he got from there to here.  As it were.

About 9:20 they played Stevie Ray's "Tightrope" and since I had the Bo Diddley beat on the brain I noticed it here, even slower and more bluesy, but unmistakeable nonetheless.

Dave, do you recall when we were at the Bruce concert & when the 1st notes of "She's The One" came on I leaned over and said that this was my favorite song with the Bo Diddley beat and wouldn't it be cool if KFOG did a whole set of them?

Sorry to have missed "The Magic Bus", but who knew "American Woman" & "Rosanna" had the beat?

ETA: I guess I didn't miss them, so much as Dave didn't play them.  Don't want to confuse anyone who reads this post but missed the set.
Title: Re: 6 June 2008: Bo Diddley Beat
Post by: mshray on June 06, 2008, 10:50:32 AM
So, a quick Db analysis.  Bo Diddley makes his artist debut in the Db.  The BowWowWow & the George T. tunes get only their 2nd spins, and surprisingly the Bruce was only the 3rd appearance.  Closest thing to a Katrina is (equally surprisingly, imho) "Faith".

ETA: missed it the first time around, but the Stones & Clapton were also a bustouts, and the U2 was also only the 2nd time around. 

So any time you get 3 bustouts and 3 only-once-befores, you have to conclude that this was a GREAT set.

Yeah, might as well include "Spiders & Snakes" if you're going this route.  Still and all, well played.

Yes, indeedy. Dave's "unique" theme sets this year (i.e., the ones that aren't annual events like Tax Day) have been firing on all cylinders, generally, and have tended to include multiple bustouts (see: The Comic Book Set).
