and "These Eyes" becomes another potential AL-trina -- didn't she just play this in a '60s VT a couple weeks ago?

Moved from the thread I started simultaneous with this one:

And it's mighty quiet here.

TOTHK was the Allmans, Dreams. Followed by Neil, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Third is Tony Joe White, singin' bout that wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman.

Definitely got a south-of-the-Mason-Dixon theme goin' on.

I think you're correct, but I'm on a Guess Who kick lately so this gets BOS.

Saw them at the San Mateo County fair in August... not the same band, of course the bass and drummer are all that remain from the original.... they should be calling themselves "Guess Who We're Supposed To Be?"

south of mason-dixon, then north of the border.  (Two Canadian acts so far...)

And one from across the pond--Thunderclap Newman = Brits, no?

let's hope you balance that with some Anne Murray... ;)

That news clip with peace protesters singing is a potential Sally -- AL played that recently too. And now the Youngbloods.  This is sounding like one of Dave's by-the-numbers "It's Friday and I just wanna get outta here" '69 sets.

Listening but too busy answering email to post until now.

Kinda waiting for another bustout to join the ABB.  Technically not a bustout, but it is only in the Db once from 7 years ago, and Dave inexplicably put it in a 1971 set ("Dreams" is from their debut album).

Did their singer bear any resemblance to Burton Cummings, vocally?

VHM Badfinger, technically a 1970 hit (it charted in Feb '70). But I guess the movie (The Magic Christian) opened at Xmas of '69?

uber-BOS2 "Soulful Strut", easily one of my 5 favorite instrumentals of all time.

Post by: RGMike on October 05, 2009, 10:35:10 AM
BOS3 Beach Boys. And now AL really pulls a Morey with the Supes, "Someday We'll Be Together"

If this were one of Dave's sets, I Can Hear Music would be wrapping things up, oh so tastefully. But AL is not so predictable, and I've lost count.

Wait! Another of DM's patented set closers! Miss Ross & the Supremes, Someday We'll Be Together.

It was passable, you really missed Burton's unique texture at some points, but the singer did ok.   He also played guitar.  The lead guitarist got sick mid-set, had to leave the stage for spell .. prob to heave.  But came back and finished the show sitting on stool.  it was fun, but it was like hearing a cover band.  it's amazing how many hits they had...

Know what you mean. I saw a band calling itself Badfinger a number of years ago. Only original member was Joey Molland, and he sang most of their songs. They were OK, but not transcendent. But at least no one barfed. :)

This really coulda been a Friday Morning with Dave 5 or 6 years ago -- the only thing missing was "Na-Na, Hey-Hey", Spiral Starecase and Mrs Agnew talking about Moratorium Day.

Bonus track was Jethro Tull's Bourée -- another BOS, standing on one leg and playing flute with crazy eyes -- Let's hear it for Codpiece Rock!

Just because it's an old year doesn't mean I'll like it. This looks extremely cool!  There's very little that doesn't tickle me in a good way!  Perhaps I would've gotten teary at #10, thinking of Dave!

I love this track, and was just thinking about it this morning when I heard Tom Petty's version of "So You Wanna Be a Rock and Roll Star."  What's the point?  Then I thought of how KFOG would play Petty's version of "Something In The Air," which is also pointless!  This is so superior to Petty, plus it has Pete Townsend on bass!

re: Get Together

I was thinking, WTF!  This is not 1969.  Out here it was 67.  I was doing some wikipedia surfing, and I guess it was re-released in 1969, and nationally became a bigger hit.  This really illustrates how out of sync radio was at the time compared to KMPX/KSAN.
