Title: 21 Nov 2008: Beatles (yay)? Nope -- 1970 redux
Post by: RGMike on November 18, 2008, 11:25:34 AM
Saturday Nov 22 is the 40th anniv of the release of the White Album -- 10 great songs from one great double-LP?  Friday is a '60s and/or theme day anyway. Fogheads could vote, etc.

But dave went with 1970 today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
