How many years has it been since Dave played the version by Julie Driscoll + Brian Auger and Trinity?

Set started a little early. I tuned in at 9:58 and This Wheel's On Fire had already begun.

BOS "Sky Pilot" -- where's son of sky pilot? proxy of shray if he's MIA.

I have two year-specific memories of 1968, when I was 5 yrs old & lived in Falls Church VA. My folks took us on a political march at the Mall protesting the Vietnam War, but it was not one of the really big ones that got media attenetion (my folks also marched in MLK's Poor People's march & other big ones, but they got a babysitter for us kids as they might have been arrested.) The other memory is attending the huge memorial service for MLK at the National Cathedral.
All the kids in the church youth group called my Dad Sky Pilot and my mom Earth Mother.
-
10-way tie for BOS from me, and glad we're getting the long version of "Sky Pilot."
If Dave's going to go heavy on war stuff, I'd LOVE for him to play the Jefferson Airplane's "House at Pooneil Corners," which vividly imagines a world turned to lava and ruin.

Good recall Mike! (see above post)

DemoConvention '68: I have an odd memory of going to see a Doris Day movie at Radio City Music Hall (Where Were You When the Lights Went Out) that week with my mom, aunt & cousins, and then coming home and watching the convention on TV.
BOS2 Stones. What can a powah-bowah do?
-
We're 4-for-4 so far--loving Street Fighting Man.
What can a poor boy do, 'cept to sing for a rock-roll band?
-
I rail at all his servants!
(I'm thinking W)
-
wow! "SFM" into "Revolution". Nice, Dave!
-
Gotta chime in -- big BOS for Revolution -- fast version is still my favorite rockin Beatles tune...
-

But you know it's gonna be alright...alright.

Oh wow, Rod Stewart (as part of the Jeff Beck group?) singing "Shapes of Things" is NTM!
-
I'd forgotten McGovern was nominated at the '68 convo.
BOS3 Rod's take on "Shapes..." --- not sure which incarnation this is. Faces? Beck?
-
WHOA!! Shapes of Things, off Jeff Beck's incomparable Truth. Uber-BOS!
-

Yes, Rod and Jeff Beck were a great pairing. BOS2
-

Is that New To Me? If so, it's NTM too. Kind of a Vanilla Fudge version of SoT.
-

Me too on the McGovern clip.
Agree with Urth on the uber-ness of this BOS.
Damn fine set after the first half.

nothing "vanilla" about Rod, and I'm not fudging.
and what a time it was... BOS4 S&G. Find a clip of Albert Hammond's "Air Disaster" and compare/contrast.

Yup, and I totally agree with your comparison.

If your memory serves you well...
I have a couple vivid '68 memories (I was 10):
1. Waking up to find note from my dad on kitchen table he had left before leaving early for work. It said that Bobby Kennedy had been shot late last night. I recall discussing that with kids at school. We were certainly aware of MLK, Vietnam, riots in urban cities and on college campuses. Losing our childhood innocence.
2. RFK's funeral train passing thru our town.
3. My dad taking me to see Democratic Prez candidate Eugene McCarthy give speech outside hotel in my NJ town.
4. Riots in nearby Newark, NJ brought the craziness uncomfortably close to our lil' suburban town.
5. Apollo 8 circling the moon Christmas '68
6. Beatles, Motown, and bubble-gum hits on top-40 AM radio!
-
Johnny Nash's "Hold Me Tight" is very far off course from the rest of this set, but always welcome.
-
But hey -- no more fussin' and a-fightin'! BOS5 "Hold Me Tight"
-
BOSx for S&G, with Paul doing a pretty credible Marty Balin imitation. Or maybe it's vice versa.

He lobbed that one into your forecourt Gaz...your thoughts?

I'd never thought of that, but it does make an interesting companion piece placed side by side with "Plastic Fantastic Lover."
-
BOS # n+1 for Stay-tus Quo.
-
got here late, but heard the tail end of Jeff Beck featuring Rod The Mod. I have that one in heavy itunes rotation! BOS1
... and a BOS2 to Status Quo for the only decent thing they ever recorded, "Pictures of Matchstick Men"

That's exactly the song I was thinking of. But you knew that.
-
well, you knew you'd hear that "disorder" clip, after it was discussed on the Morning Show yesterday.
BOS6 Stay-tus Quo!

Almost forgot...I had a triva question for the group:
yesterday Benson played some new JB, and he whipped out a great piece of trivia, can't believe I had never heard this before on our board (or worse, missed it if y'all *had* mentioned it).
Q: What is Jackson Browne's real first name?
ETA: no peeking!
Mike was the only one on the KBCO thread earlier, and he didn't bite.
Any takers?
-
Another BOS for "Grazing in the Grass". More cowbell!
-
Stay-tus JINX!
-
More cowbell! perhaps the only egregious katrina of the set, but "GITG" is one of my fave instrumentals and will always evoke the hot, humid NYC Summer of '68 for me. BOS7.

I'd never had reason to think it wasn't Jackson Browne ... so, no.

Not a clue, but I'm dying to know now...
-
JB's real first name is
Clive, oops I meant Clyde, but still.
I have a very funny feeling that this will stick a la 'the goat' within this group.

You are not alone here, Geoff. "Truth" is such a great album. Hopefully Dave will someday play the "Morning Dew" off of it too.
