Title: 28 January 2009--1987
Post by: urth on January 28, 2009, 10:04:22 AM
Nope, still no '84. Instead we go to 87, where we last visited on Jan 1.

C'est la vie.

Good call--it is. And followed by Los Lobos, Set Me Free Rosalie.

If anyone wants to look, this set first aired Nov 13, 2006. Some good stuff coming, and some Ks.

not that I know of.  Don't know their version.

Here's a hint:  yesterday's set from '77 '76 featured both the orig artist of "Rosalie" AND a band that covered it pretty well:

   1.  David Dundas - Jeans On
   2.  Peter Frampton - Show Me the Way
   3.  Queen - Good Company
   4.  Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back in Town
   5.  ELO - Mission (A World Record)
   6.  Cliff Richard - Devil Woman
   7.  Trammps - Where the Happy People Go
   8.  Heart - Dreamboat Annie
   9.  Bob Seger - Night Moves (BEST OF SET!!)

For some reason, "The World Where We Live" does not register as a Katrina with me. I don't remember the last time I heard it. I quite like this song. I was under the general impression that all Crowded House songs are Katrinas.

Hmmmm.  Nope, not gettin' it.  The Pretenders song is off their new album.  It's pretty good, but nothing thrilling.  And of course, there's Rosalita...

I'm back in Madrid now. I left Iceland just in time! Or not, as I missed all of the action. My friends there say it's quite an exciting time. The government is in the hands of a woman who had brain surgery last week, and may be turned over to the world's first lesbian prime minister next week. Talk about a revolution.

Me neither. I'd say Warren Zevon is involved somewhere in there, but that's just a guess.

Is Grace singing, "Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that"? I've always mumbled along with something like "I feel the pact".

BOS to the George Harrison (Cloud 9) and WOS to the Starship. Normally I'd offer a proxy for Gaz on anything Starship related but I can't do that in good conscience on this one. And I suspect he might agree.

Thin Lizzy, but I don't know if they did the original or the cover. My bet would be the cover.

Yep, think so. Was this her last gasp with the Starship?

'Twould appear to be written by Bob Seger.  I'll have to give it a listen.

ETA: I listened to the Thin Lizzy version; sounds an awful lot like Elton's "The Bitch is Back", which probably came out around the same time.

ETAA: The Bitch is Back was on Caribou which came out in 1974, and Bob Seger's version came out in 1973 on "Back in 72".  Now we know.

ding ding!  Bob Seger wrote it, and TL covered it on their Fighting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_(album)) album.  It's also on LZ's Live And Dangerous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_and_Dangerous), but they should put live in quotes, b/c there's tons of studio touching-up on that double LP, which is still a great record, btw.

yeesh, '89 and '87 in the same week? Glad I missed (and my meeting was VERY boring, but still better than the Worst Year on the Wheel).

I heard some of it in the car, but as soon as Don announced the year & I heard the first 2 notes of Robbie N. I flipped the dial.  Came back in time for the R.E.M., then had to get out of the car & missed U2, then got back in and heard the rest.  Woulda BOS'd Steve Miller (with a then unknown Kenny G. doing the sax solo) & Los Lobos.  Maybe a 3rd BOS for New Order, but I'd've also WOS'd tunes 1, 5, 7 & 10.   I just think "The Damage You Done" is so nasal that Petty sounds like he's doing an SNL impersonation of himself.

Mike would've also WOS'd the bonus track, if I'm not mistaken.


1/28/09 - Midweek Wednesday!  A quick visit to...1987!!!

   1.  Robbie Nevil - C'Est LaVie
   2.  Steve Miller Band - I Want to Make the World Turn Around (BEST OF SET!!)
   3.  Los Lobos - Set Me Free (Rosalee)
   4.  REM - End of the World (As We Know it)
   5.  Tom Petty - The Damage You've Done
   6.  U2 - One Tree Hill
   7.  Crowded House - World Where You Live
   8.  New Order - True Faith
   9.  George Harrison - Cloud Nine
 10.  Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

BONUS TRACK:  Grateful Dead - Hell in a Bucket

Her last #1 with them.  Her last Top 40 hit with the band was "It's Not Over Til It's Over"; her last chart hit with the band was "Beat Patrol"; and the band's last chart record was, I believe, "It's Not Enough" in 1989.

Thank you for the absence of proxy; I wouldn't WOS it, but it is feather light.  And produced by Narada Michael Walden!
