Will we hit the 60s? Theme set? Or will anarchy reign and we'll be forced to visit 90-something??
ETA: 1968!!! There is still order in the universe!
-
yay!!
Damn, the bell just rang, and I have to go to class!

The only instance of Hush as the TOTHK in the DB is a twice-played Classic that we last heard Aug 24 of 2007 and previously appeared nearly two years to the day before that, 8/26/05. The set's initial appearance isn't in the DB.
Yep, this is it--Sam & Dave confirm that fact, and I Thank Them.
ETA: And it appears that Mike is taking the opportunity of a last-minute day off to sleep in. Or at least do something else besides listen to the radio.

Preemptive BOS for Simon & Garfunkel!
-
BOS S&G

BOS S&G
Nice segue out of the MLK clip.
"...and to fight for a cause they'd long ago forgotten..."
-
10-way tie, as I prolly won't get to post more during the set.

my DP Hush mondegreen: " I got a set o' li'l groceries on o' my mind, no doubt about it she looks so fine.."

Ditto the RFK clip into Tin Soldier.

Maybe he joined in the rioting!

Can't imagine that in my wildest dreams. Mayhem apparently ensued last night according to TV news.

Yes, that'd be the one. See http://10at10club.com/forum/index.php?topic=5372.msg93670#msg93670 above. (I just opted to not include the list for those that might want to avoid spoilers.)

shame on me.

Here's a drinking game that I have invented but never yet played. But I'm sure it would work:
Step 1 - Put on "Sympathy For The Devil"
Step 2 - During the first 2 minutes everyone must have filled a tall glass/cup with their potent potable of choice.
Step 3 - Arrange yourselves in a circle facing in.
Step 4 - All participants must begin belting out the woo-hoo-ooo's as soon as they start, and continue until the end of the song.
Step 5 - Sing your woo-hoo-oo's in such a way as to make everyone else crack up. If you start laughing you must finish your whole drink.
Last one woo-hoo-ooo-ing wins!
-
another BOS Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLaglan and Kenney Jones...
ditto Stones' "Sympathy" -- so powerful. I think it's their best song, but not necessarily my top favorite...

LOL...! I'm getting a head rush just thinking about it.

Afraid! Ashamed! Misunderstood! So many great moments in "Love Child."
-
BOS5 Love Child. And the hits just keep on coming!!

For years I used this Tiny Tim message on my answering machine at Christmastime. Didn't get around to it last month ...
-
I've been trying to find out more about that "IBM computer plays music" radio clip... I'm intrigued every time I hear it for some reason.
"Stay tuned for more Don McNeil in the Cloud Room of the Atherton Hotel in Chicago."
where does Dave find these things?

Small amount of info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Bell
And "Dear Prudence" just flashed me back to late-summer/early-fall 1991. My friend Bill had made me a tape copy of his dad's vinyl copy of the White Album, and I listened to it a lot in my first few weeks away at college. DP and "Martha My Dear" remain the sledgehammers of the period for me.
-
Marvin sounds especially good this morning.
-
where does Dave find these things?
In recent years I think he's gotten lots of them off the web, but he's had this one for quite awhile, so no telling. Perhaps there's a group of radio aircheck geeks out there who've been trading recordings for years?

I think there are compilations of clips and ads. I saw one a Borders last week while I was browsing the CD bins.
-
YAY the Beatles!
After looking thru the DB, there are fantastic 68 sets.
-
Enjoy your weekends, one and all!

You'd be surprised (...then again maybe not) at how many of these kinds of things were pressed to vinyl. I've stumbled across some really interesting stuff at Amoeba & similar places of the years (starting at Wuxtry in St. Louis when I was about 14). I just think Dave was a master dumpster diver for a long time.

BOS9, the *other* Friends.
Wow, that mention of Rick Danko's death dates this set to December of 1999--he died on the 10th, so it'd be the 10th or maybe the 11th.
-
BOS9, the *other* Friends.
Meant to mention that I heard Elton John's Friends the other day while in a store someplace, the first time I'd heard it since Dave played it as his swan song. And I just couldn't listen to it the same way. That song has been stamped in my mind forever as Dave's.

This set has been trotted out as a classic before today. I know this for certain, b/c the last time I heard it -- as a repeat -- Dave's mention of Rick Danko's death made me run over to some editorial folks here at work saying "Rick Danko died! -- there must be a wire story."
oops!

As resident Radio Historian I'll explain that Don McNeil did an Arthur Godfrey/Art Linkletter type live radio show every morning on the ABC Radio Network for many years, "Don McNeil's Breakfast Club", based in Chicago, with a live band and everything. It lasted until 1969 or so; by that time most of the ABC affiliate stations were doing Top 40 and McNeil's homespun folksiness didn't exactly mesh with "Incense & Peppermints", so his long run ended.
A wonderful set (I was listening but not posting; see the Drive "Jimmy Page's B-Day" thread from earlier for an explanation).

Hooray for whomever programmed the marathon today, saving the best 2 sets for last: '77 and now '68. Sam & Dave got that old soul clap -- some penicillin will clear that up right quick, guys.
-
"Love Child": I've said it before, but have the words "tenement slum" ever sounded so beautiful? For years, many New Yorkers (encouraged by WABC DJ Dan Ingram, who erred whenever he intro-ed the tune) mondegreened the first "tenement slum" at the very beginning of the song as "hear mah song". I didn't connect it to the identical phrase in the first verse until much later.

"It's so NICE to be here with you wonderful... Beatles! Ooohhhhh!"
