Title: 6 March 2009: OMFG, it's 1967!
Post by: RGMike on March 06, 2009, 09:19:09 AM
given the pattern of the week, I'm guessing either '60s or a theme set; we haven't had a "classic" VT since Dave left. Maybe instrumentals? or the cowbell set again (that would be an unwelcome TANC).

ETA: I'm so happy it's '67 -- I ain't fakin' it!  (BOS S&G)

OMFG!  I am shocked at something done this right.  10-way BOS, no doubt, but nice to get that loosey opening to "Fakin' It" as TOTHK.

Based on the TotHK, this is either the first or one of the last '67 set in the DB.  If the latter it is also an "On This Date" set.

Can't begin to say how pleased I am, makes up almost entirely for not having been able to request smething from Dave personally.

It is the latter.  A very soulful set, and a major rarity at Super Hit 6.

I don't think I've heard this version of "Knock on Wood".  Is this Otis and Carla?  Or Wilson and someone else?

ETA: She said Otis, and I believer her.

ETAA: And Happy Birthday, Mark!

Dude, if you're referring to 8/31/2007 and 8/18/2000, I just noticed--they have identical setlists.

But either way it's a GREAT set. Lovin' hearing Otis and Carla. Just caught a great PBS pledge week special that featured a Stax/Volt revue filmed in Oslo Norway in '67. No Carla, but Otis ruled the stage.

Gues what, on looking at the Db again, it was the same set  both times - i.e. the aug 18, 2000 set was repeated on Aug 31, 2007.  The first time around it wasn't noted as an OTD set, and the second time it wasn't noted as a classic.  Must have been a Live & Local month.

ETA: I see Urth tumbled to this before I did.

indeed -- I was surprised that didn't make it into the "Top Rip-offs" list (they had JCM ripping John Caffery).

and here's Davie Allan -- aka Little Steven's closing music each week. "Go back ta Joisey, ya moron!"

ETA: Little Steven JINX!  and very special mention to the fab "true stereo" on the Beatles tune.

someone gave me a cassette containing some tuned recorded off WNYU's  Plastic Tales from the Marshmallow Dimension show, and this tune was on it.  Plastic Tales is awesome, a psyche and garage show -- which they might still air...?

Close. Duck Dunn was up there too--pre-beard and pipe days.

You're mostly right about the audience, but I was surprised to see a few dark faces in the crowd. US servicemen, I'm guessing.

eta: The Wattstax concert, staged in LA Coliseum in 1972 to commemorate the 1965 LA riots, was an all-back show for a mostly all-black audience featuring Stax artists.  Issac Hayes headlines, but Rufus Thomas brings down the house w his two tunes.

originally it was "Damn good coffee!  And HOT!" - after he took a big slurp and spit it out because it was scalding.  But you got that it was Twin Peaks, so half a frink point anyway.

Rosalie actually played the exchange w/ the Foghead over the stream today. She offered him a Moby Grape tune, San Franciscan Nights by Eric Burdon & the Animals, and Plastic Fantastic Lover. He went for PFL right away--said he thought that you hear the Animals tune all the time, to the point that it's become a cliche. Couldn't have put it better myself.
