Wow, either she's got the worst case of spider veins ever, or that's some funky moire pattern on her tights there.

OK, once again: I don't dislike it. (indeed, I thought it was you who criticized the lyrics) But it IS rather overplayed.

It does seem to pop up frequently in '75 sets. And there's a bigger K yet to come in this one. (This set is from May 30, 2007, if anyone cares to peek.)

Isn't this one of the several Zep tunes that were liberally sampled by the Beastie Boys?

BWHAHAHA! Depends on how many bowls he's had (and I don't mean bananas & strawberries).

VHM Doobs, cheatin' the hangman. Used to make a great segue with "Gallows Pole".

Without looking I'd have to agree. That's a huge Katrina in 1975.

I am an anti-CHRIST! Kudos on that one.

now here's a band *I* adore that Gaz hates... 10cc. VHM, Tho' I'd've preferred "One Night in Paris" or "Life is a Minestrone".

Your instincts are not wrong, guys. Twilley ignites in a few more songs.

Meanwhile, BOS to Blackmail, about the only 10cc song Dave ever plays in 75, even though I'm Not In Love was the bigger hit.

ETA: Just checked: my instincts are right on that one. Nine appearances in the DB for Blackmail, but only three for I'm Not In Love.

See my comment above. There was a time (in the mid-'90s) when "One Night In Paris" was a near-Katrina,too. but it's been years since Dave's played it, and he's NEVER played "...Minestrone".

Which makes one wonder why Slade couldn't crack the U.S. charts with songs that sounded exactly like this.

Strange Magic also did double duty in '75 & '76. And other than those two, most of the rest of the tunes were frequent flyers or katrinas. BTR is a solid katrina for example.
