Title: 2 February 2009: a "classic" from 1977
Post by: mshray on February 02, 2009, 09:54:57 AM
I heard the promo over the weekend, with Webster saying Dave would take us somewhere - pretty sure it was 1977, but can't recall exactly. 

Definitely not 90's though. 

That I would have remembered.

ETA: guess I remembered correctly!

You did.  Sadly, still no new Dave.  But can't complain about 77.  But sometimes I still do.

I haven't heard Radio Sweetheart in a long time, forgot what a country twang it had.  BOS#1

VHM #1 for jazzy Doobies.

Which means this set dates from Dec 12, 2006.

ETA: now that I'm looking past tunes 1 & 2...this is a really great set that I remember preety well.  More than one sledgehammer in here for me

dunno 'bout that, but it was a bustout when it happened the first time.  So was tune #7.  Neither have been heard since, too, and the same can be said for tunes 2, 3, 5, 8 & 10.  Tunes 6 & 9 have only been heard once in the past 24 months.

BOS #2 Crawler, which was probably a Katrina in 2006 but not anymore.

Pretty much pre-emptory BOS's for each of the remaining tunes, too.

Agreed--a couple of bustouts (the first time around) and a few other rarities--this is the better side  of '77, fo' sho'. We've heard some 77 sets that were just terrible.

I just re-read the posts from the original air date (all 6 pages of them!)

In one of his rare real-time appearances, Darryl asked if any of us had heard of this new game called Guitar Hero, because "Godzilla" was one of the tunes you could play on it.  Nobody replied that they had in fact heard of it, so I can assume none of us had at that time.
