"You better hurry 'cause it's going fast" Tune #1 is already over at 10:00, and now it's Zep "Immigrant Song", all 2:25 of it.
-
BOS for the James Gang.
-
Okay, so there was a BOS #1 for Badfinger & #2 for the Mighty Zep, and now to make up for the short songs, we get James Gang's "The Bomber", BOS #3 and also a bit longer tune.
-
BOS for the James Gang.
indeed -- love the quotes from "Cast Your fate to the Wind"

Hey Dave, didja hear the 9:00 Pop Quiz?

BOS2/proxy of gaz: Friends of Distinction

Friends of Distinction (that's what WE are)
-
BOS for the James Gang.
Hey Dave, didja hear the 9:00 Pop Quiz?
I heard what it was, so I switched it off. Went over to KPIG for their "Make the Connection" which I win regularly, but then I had to go to a meeting. KFOG is so blatantly Cal-centric that I try to avoid them during Big Game week.

thinking about women and glasses of beer...and another BOS

in fairness, KFOG for many years extended an invitation to Stanford to send someone to the morning show (to balance the Cal Men's Octet, aka the Future Gay Men's Chorus Members) but Stanford consistently refused to return KFOG's phone calls, so they stopped asking.
BOS3 Sweet Baby James.

One of the contestants was clearly from The Farm, his re-enactment included something like "and the diminutive, inept Cal players are lateralling the ball..."

BOS4/proxy of tarantino: George Baker Selection

Yeah!!!
BOS #6 for the George Baker Selection.
-
Little Green Bag opens up the really nice (although brief) soundtrack to Reservoir Dogs.
Get it if you can.

Heh, that's good.
And Mike, you're right that the Fleet Street singers used to come, but stopped. Dave didn't take it well, and that was the end of balanced fairness on the Morning Show.

BOS5 Elvis, one of his loveliest post-comeback efforts.

and one of Dave's favorite Elvis tunes
-

I second that. A quite un-Elvis-like tune, I'd say.
-

I'm seven for seven on the BOS votes so far. I didn't used to like latter day Elvis, but now I prefer it.

"...whose onstage gyrations could make Elvis Presley look like a P.E. teacher."
LOLSHIPMP!

I've always called this the chart-geek's favorite Elvis tune; it only got to #16 but is much-beloved by people who tend not to be Elvis fanatics. It's a very nice piece of songwriting (one of Eddie Rabbit's first charted songs).
See my Elvis post in the Capital Gold/internet radio thread the other day.

I've never heard that Jimi death notice.
Another BOS for Traffic. Great performances by Steve and err, Dave Mason on guitar?
-
Dave Mason on guitar?
Only you know and I know.
it's Little Sir John and his nut-brown balls!
-
actually this was a very nice segue from the death of Jimi clip into the elegiac "John Barleycorn"

It does sound like Dave singing with Steve now.
-
Doris get her oats from Sir John's nut-brown bowl.
BOS6 Beatles (yay).
-
Dave Mason on guitar?
Only you know and I know.
Nope, Mason wasn't on this album at all. Winwood did all the guitars & bass. And he was still only 22 in 1970.
Chris Wood did the flute & some percussion, Capaldi did the drums and some backing vox, and the rest was Stevie.

Well, drat.
Another BOS for the Mac's "Oh Well". Great riff song.
ETA: So John Barleycorn was supposed to be a Winwood solo project since Traffic had broken up, but producers brought in Wood and Capaldi and Traffic was reborn. Yay.
-
oh well, it's another proxy of geoff.
-
Yay! Finally an internet connection! We've been out since yesterday morning--some bozo was digging a ditch down the road and cut the cable. <grr>
Got in in time for most of Two of Us. Not quite the White Album extravaganza we'd all hoped for, but nice nonetheless.
BOS Oh Well.
Reading thru your comments this has been a pretty great set. Have to make time for the replay tonite.

Someone should play Paul Simon's "Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War" - a very lovely song.

"Apple Scruffs" would make it in 1970. ;)

And following along on that theme, this morning's bonus-baby Foghead is also a Deadhead. He passed on a couple of Neil tunes and went with Ripple.

thanks for thinking of me. I was showing my students Hendrix's Third Stone From The Sun, and playing it back at double speed. Definitely educational!

Regarding the 40th anniv of the White Album, here's a book to consider.

Sorry, but WOS from me (though the description is apt!). BOS to "Kentucky Rain," which I just bought off iTunes last month. If I ever see that at a karaoke bar, I'm taking a bite.

BOS, the sweet baby James Gang.
I heard the last few tunes this morning on the replay. Now y'all know I'm a fool for Fleetwood Mac, but I still think that last part of Oh Well is particularly poignant. Perhaps I'm reading all the angst Peter Green was going through at the time into it, but it has such a timeless feel. The acoustic guitar, cello, electric bass, drums, and flute (I don't really know what instrument it is) provide a sort of meditative tension and release. I was really getting into it, and at the end, just before the buzzer, Dave said "whew!" I wonder if anyone knows the story of how that track came together; it would be an interesting read.
