OOps someone forgot to cue the set!
ETA: Ah, it's 1970! Worth waiting for!
-

LOL! Well, at least when it (finally) appeared it was 1970! instant VHM Mungo Jerry.

Mongo Jerry' Summertime. It just hit me that this is the bastard child of Dawn and Dr. Hook

except it pre-dates both. ;) This was supposed to be the big "skiffle" revival of 1970 but it never went beyond this one hit.
BOS/proxy of Gaz, Edwin Starr -- good GAWD y'all!
"induction -- then destruction!"
-
Newsflash! This set originally aired before the scope of the DB--there's only one set in there that leads with In the Summertime, and Edwin Starr is not the second song of that set, Wilbert Harrison's Let's Work Together is. So we're going back a bit here.
-
BOS George Awaiting On You All.
By chanting the name of Obama, you'll be free.
-
yay! BOS2 George, "Awaiting on You All"
the Pope owns 51% of General Motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us

you'd almost think the set-picker was lurking yesterday! Cool, tho' -- I love surprises.
BOS3 3DN, one of my very fave songs of theirs, 2 days in a row (after hearing it on Deep Tracks yesterday). VHM Paul Williams' lyric.
-
BOS for "Out in the Country". Is this Three Dog Night?
ETA: This is practically prog Three Dog, dude!
-
BOS2 3DN (and proxy of Gaz) Out in the Country.
Before the breathin' air is gone.

it's a marvelous night for a moondance out in the country in the summertime.

Three Dog Night? nice

1970 on a Wednesday, hmmm...

This Jackson 5 song makes me think of a party in Isla Vista back then.

there's no rhyme or reason while Dave's away.
BOS4 J-5!

A summer pear would really hit the spot tonight.
-
Motown at the top of their game: BOS3, J5, I Want You Back. Such a seamless groove in this one.
-

A summer peach would really hit the spot tonight.
or a "county pear" ;)
-
"the lunar landing has been called off" -- and very nearly, so was the rest of the set!
BOS5 "Victoria" -- what a queen!
(http://www.makara.us/04mdr/01writing/03tg/bios/Victoria_files/QueenVictoria.jpg)
damn, this is is a helluva set.
-
some scary clips of the Apollo 13 mission.... wow.

Damn. That's what I was looking for. I had to go back and search since "summer peach" sure didn't sound right.
-
This set is getting better and better--BOS4 the Kinks. Who else would do a rock song about a long dead British queen?
Land of hope and glory-a, land of my Victoria!
-

are you guys raising eyebrows here because it's usually Fridays that are reserved for 60s or very early 70s sets?
Does Dave stick to a map of sorts? Does this 1970 here increase the chances of some lame-ass 80s and 90s sets happening tomorrow and Friday?
-
Heard 1-7 in the car, now at my desk for the last part. BOS Kinks & VHM everything else (even Moondance in it's natural context).
-
This set is getting better and better
And up yet another notch: BOS5, Fleetwood Mac, Oh Well.
Hoping for the lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng version. Also that Geoff is still hanging around.
-
I raced over to dial KFOG to win FM tix, only to realize this is not A to Z!
BOS Oh Well, of course

I was rather sure of that by the end of that Vietnam newsclip montage. The rest of the way driving I became more and more convinced.

cue the ghost of Ennio Morricone! (ETA: oops, he's still alive. Me dispiace.)
It's the bong version!

Always wondered how Dave kept track of how long it had been since a year was last visited. A calendar maybe? And I'd have to guess that yes, the chances of getting at least one more-recent year tomorrow or Friday are pretty high now that we've just been to '70.

LOL!
ETA: I see I was LOL'ing a near miss on the reference. I didn't remember it right either Dave!

Friday is, traditionally, the day for "old" years, usually '60s -- this dates back to the beginnings of 10@10 when they used to do "Fifties Friday". I always suspected it was an excuse for Dave to go home early, since the songs were so short, but clearly Dave likes to end his weeks with sets he really enjoys doing. Friday also became a day for theme sets like instrumentals.
ETA: I also always assumed Dave had a calendar of some sort of tracking board to make sure that years came up more or less evenly... but Greg told mshray that Dave goes totally on memory and instinct, iirc.

I've asked him that question twice in person, and both times he said, "No, not really."

...the bong version...I love it!

So is it worth going to see Fleetwood Mac without Christine McVie?
-
LAWD! BOS6 Ree-Ree -- no Sunday-go-to-meetin' hat necessary.
(http://blogs.sohh.com/soul/img/aretha.jpg)
"...and ah love you TOO!"
-

I'd rather see 'em with Christine and without the Goat.
-

Well, that depends on how much you like Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham songs.
-
LAWD! BOS6 Ree-Ree -- no Sunday-go-to-meetin' hat necessary.

This really is evolving into a pretty amazing set. One more BOS for 'Retha.
ETA: And the hits just keep on coming: Smokey and his best song ever, Tears of a Clown. Cue the bassoon!
(And the BOS-soon.)
-

I would say no b/c I couldn't sit through much of crocheted-cape-on-a-goat Stevie without feeling like she was casting a bad spell on me. Lindsay is great (I saw him last summer at Mtn winery -- same show for which Ali won tix), but no Christie? Oh, Daddy!
-
BOS for Smokey and the Miracle Bassoon!
-
BOS to S&TM: one of the best pop songs ever!
-
BOS Smokey!
and another opportunity to drop an Italian name:
...just like Pagliacci did...
-
So is it worth going to see Fleetwood Mac without Christine McVie?
worth it? It's hard to say, considering how expensive tickets are these days. Barring financial concerns, I expect nothing less than a kick-ass, professional show, with lots of Greatest Hits, of which there are too many. Hopefully they will include pre Buckingham/Nicks FM tunes.
-
BOS for Smokey and the Miracle Bassoon!
Bassoon JINX!!!!
-
always a BOS(7!) for Smokey

Did anyone else notice someone in the crowd yesterday wearing a black t-shirt with the standard image of Obama's bust, and the letters 'BOS' on it in large white caps? Wonder what that was about, certainly not our BOS.
-
wow -- this set aired in 2001!
-
So if the birthday boy was born in '70 and was 31 when this aired, then we can assume this set dates to 2001.
-
wow -- this set aired in 2001!
Quick math JINX!
ETA: Should be worth hanging around for the bonus track today, too.
ETA2: Oh yeah. A to Z. No bonus track. D'OH!
-

no bonus tracks during A-to-Z, bub. :'(

the bonus is we don't have to listen to Annalisa giggle her way through a question and answer. ;D

-

I've asked him that question twice in person, and both times he said, "No, not really."
I also asked since we have the Shraytabase to refer to...he made it sound like he picked randomly, based on memory for recency.

I guess I'm all alone here for the replay. Listened today but away from computer.

Smokey sounded so good. Too short a tune.

Back atcha & likewise!
I should add that "Tears Of A Clown" is my all-time second favorite #1 hit. I only rank "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" ahead of it on my list. And Mungo Jerry is my third favorite #3 song of all time.
