And she's our Captain!

And she's our Captain!
Is this the 2nd time she's played this song? Or did we hear it on a Morey Classic this year? Or am I in my cabin dreaming?

I haven't heard it in years. I actually bought a Grand Funk LP (Closer to Home) to get this song, though it seems particularly dated today. I wanna know what his "ship" really is.

Not that I can find among the 1970 sets and VTs she's done. Dave did play it twice during his last year on the air--once in Feb and once in Oct of '08. Perhaps because he knew he was "getting closer to his home"?

I had it too (on cassette!) -- I won tix from WNEW-FM to see GFR at Madison Square Garden in Dec of '70. We sat right by the speakers. I was deaf for 2 days.

Beatles (yay) sound quite nice today. BOS "TL&WR".
(http://www.glyphmedia.com/beatles/longwindingroad-45.jpg)
-
Perfect segue from Beatles into Led Zep!
-
These BBC (?) guys sound exactly like a Python parody of the BBC. LOL!
BOS2 the Mighty Zep, "Heartbreaker" -- will we get a "Livin' Lovin'" twin-spin?
-
Great clip about "the Led Zeppelin". And cool tune selection, assuming she let's it run into "Living Loving Maid". Another Random Numbers favorite.
Oh baby, she knooooooows what we like!
-
Livin'! Lovin'!
-

Of course! Ya can't break these up! But will they count as one song or two? (Betting AL does the right thing and counts them as one.)
-
BOS, THE Led Zeppelin.
... back to work ...
*sigh*

I remember the Aug 26th march in NYC -- it was big news that day.
BOS3 Guess Who -- those women's hubbys got no sugar that night, eh?

Hey, we gonna have a twin-spin twin-spin with "New Mother Nature" following this? That would rule.
Yeah! I guess you can't really separate those two.

The Guess Who was a single medley, but the Zep was a legitimate twin-spin.
BOSes all around!
-
This one's going to 12! I've only heard "The New Mother Nature" a handful of times in my life.
-
BOS "O-o-h Child." More fond 3WS memories. This song really sounds best at 3:45am.
-
oooh child, this is one fine set. AL's on a hot streak like we haven't seen in some time.
BOS4 Stairsteps 5
-
BOS "O-o-h Child." More fond 3WS memories. This song really sounds best at 3:45am.
Much as I love the GF* & GW tunes, this is the most astonishing track of the set so far. Wow!
*I'm typing up a sledhehammer essay on "I'm Your Captain", not quite ready to post yet.
-
Woo hoo! One-hit wonder of the day! Five Stairsteps, O-o-oh, Child!
-
Perhaps my favorite Dead song! VHM to "Box of Rain." Robert Hunter is a national treasure.
-
BOS for Phil and the boys' "Box of Rain". Has the Dead ever been on 10at10 before?

BOS5 the Dead (and that don't happen often -- only in 1970).

you're kidding, right? ;)
-

Late-'70s shows up occasionally - "Alabama Getaway," "Althea," "China Cat Sunflower" - but I don't remember getting any American Beauty tracks before.

One of Hunter's best lyrics ever. Phil wrote this for his dying father, and took the melody to Hunter for his contribution. I recall reading Hunter saying "the words came as fast as the pen could pull..."
Proxy of Geoff & Ali. One more BOS here, too--AL's firing on all cylinders today.
-
Geraldine, meet "Lola". Tee Hee.
-
Geraldine: the first WYSIWYG editor!
-
One more great segue: Flip Wilson in drag as Geraldine, into the Kinks Lola.
Can't understand why she walk like a woman but talks like a man.
-

Nope, just being dim. Of course, the Go to Heaven and later stuff has been on there a lot. Oh well.

Not to mention the (seemingly) gazillion plays of "Hell in a Bucket" and "Touch of Grey" ::)

BOS of BOSes to Nesmith's "Joanne," undoubtedly an ATBB.

We've heard Ripple, Uncle John's Band, and Friend o' the Deli* in '70 sets before, but Box is a bustout, per the DB.
*Jerry in his later years was definitely a "friend of the deli." Also of Royal Frank, a now-departed sausage emporium in San Rafael where he was fond of their kosher dogs, according to a picture they posted after his passing.
Oh. My. F***ing. God. BOSwhatever, Michael Nesmith "Joanne."
-
Holy flaming mother of Pop! uber-BOS6 Michael Nesmith and the First National Band, "Joanne". Gawd I love this one.

Tinka - Any chance that you recorded this one? It's 1:47 ET and we're not done - this set's entered "epic" territory.
Yikes to the burning Cuyahoga River.
-
who was asking about record-length 10@10s? LOL!
BOS7 "Nature's Way".
-
I like Spirit, but I've never liked "Nature's Way".
-
Btw, Lufaphs was wondering about lengthy sets the other day. This one is def. up there--we're still going and it's 10:49, and I have no idea if Nature's Way is tune #10 or not. VHM.

Too bad Randy Newman's "Burn On" (which is about the Cuyahoga) came out a couple years later.

“I’m Your Captain” is a huge sledgehammer for me on multiple levels, and I was thinking about it just last night. I've mentioned that in 1979, between my Jr & Sr yrs of HS, I was an exchange student for the summer to West Germany. The last night of the stay all 170 of us Amis (as the Germans called us) were in the city of Bremen (we were actually there for 5 days), and nobody wanted to go home. So a dozen or so of us decided to stay up all night & long story shortened a bit, I wound up making out on the dance floor of a discotheque with a girl named Anne Thistleton from Parkersburg W. Va. (which is just across the Ohio River from Ohio). By the luck of the draw, Anne had become best friends that summer with the girl she was always lumped together with alphabetically, Susie Thiele, who was from nearby Cincinnatti. Anne was tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and very sharp, but Susie was blonde, very curvaceous and brown-eyed in that way that just kills you on a blonde, albeit a couple inches shorter. So it didn't take much for me to swap with the 3rd person on their row of seats on the charter back to JFK, and I sat in the middle all the way back with these 2 babes & I stayed up all night again with the girls simultaneously sleeping on my shoulders. Then we hit JFK, promised to keep in touch, etc. But we really did.
Later that fall, I found out that my HS was going to have Thur & Fri off the week before Thanksgiving for a teachers’ conference, and it just so happened that Anne was planning a visit to Miami U. of Ohio (just outside of Cincy, alma mater of Ben Rothlis****er), and the Bearcats of Cincinnatti U. were playing their arch-rival in football in Miami that same Saturday. Susie’s older sister went to Cincy, but her boyfriend was in a frat at Miami OH, so we had good tix waiting for us. And to top it off, the Iggles were playing that Thursday night in Cincy (which was 2 weeks before the fateful Who concert there which I’m sure I’ve mentioned in the past).
Okay, back to Grand Funk. We arranged a get-together in Cincy from Thurs evening to Sunday afternoon, and I hopped the for 8-hr Greyhound from St. Louis to Cincy. The bus ran down I-70 to Indy before I had to change buses Cincy, and in at the transfer I wound up sitting next to another totally hot blonde, who turned out to be Don Felder’s cousin heading from Chicago to the show. The Iggles show was awesome, and they debuted their “Joe Walsh for President” material, and also “Seven Bridges Road”, which got overplayed for a while, but was breathtaking, live. The next day we chilled for a bit & then headed out to Miami OH, where I was about to have my very first taste of college life. Anne was a Nat’l Merit scholar and thus had an official hostess for the weekend, Susie had some older friend from her HS to stay with & I was being put up in the frat house with her sister’s boyfriend. And somewhere along the line that night the two girls and I wound up sitting in a dorm room with Susie’s friend, getting stoned, and listening to the friend’s boyfriend’s roommate who was an aspiring bassist play “I’m Your Captain” several times through with the stereo on full blast. Talk about an indelible memory.
And this was the first of only a single handful of Div I NCAA football games I ever attended*, and now Cincinnatti has an outside chance to play for the national championship, or at least go undefeated.
*Dave, I think every other D-I game I’ve ever attended has been in the guise of pretending to be an LSJUMB member.

They call me MISTAH Tibbs!
and yet another epic: "Iron man"! BOS8 and I am utterly exhausted.

Btw, Lufaphs was wondering about lengthy sets the other day. This one is def. up there--we're still going and it's 10:49, and I have no idea if Nature's Way is tune #10 or not. VHM.
Guess it wasn't. I AM IRON MAN!!!.

Ozzy did this (with Metallica!) on that RnR HOF concert the other night.

WOS "Iron Man." Clumsy in every way, and I'm astonished that BS have the rep they do.

Ummm, what's the under/over on Annalisa having been lurking?
Iron Man RULES!!!!
-
10:56 and we're still going. This is def. one of the longest 10@10s ever. Wonder if AL has been following our convos again? Or just another coinkydink?

Beg to differ about the drum solo & outtro. Might not be to your taste, but that is not clumsy.

Now this is what I like in a 10@10: Quality AND quantity!!! Who said size doesn't matter?

it also helps if you were 15 in 1970 ;) I mean DMB (for one example) are, as musicians, not clumsy either, but I'll never like them -- but if I had been 15 in 1993/94... I'd've probably been a huge fan.

I was 6 1/2 in 1970, but then again I probably never heard Iron Man until I was 15, so maybe you have a point.

AL just mentioned again that she wants some kind of forum where Fogheads can discuss 10@10. She said Twitter was a possibility -- hope she doesn't go there. A 10@10 Facebook page, maybe?

one last BOS for the Little Green Bonus Track!

Gee, maybe they can start a Yahoo group, and get Yahoo to sponsor the show, and....

Mentioned our talk of set-length to AL via e-mail, and she swears it was total coincidence, she hasn't yet visited our board. She also mentioned to me her wish to start a discussion board on the KFOG site, or maybe via Twitter/FB. Wonder if she's hoping we'll offer our board as potential destination for foghead discussion. (Not sure I'm down with having all the Foghead riff-raff invading our quiet little corner here, putting their feet up on the furniture and drinking all our beer.)

I agree -- elitist that I am, I don't want the sort of Fogheads who vote every overplayed Katrina BOS hanging out here ;)
KFOG already has a Facebook page and a Twit(ter) feed, so that seems the most logical way to go.

Yes, I have it recorded, but I need to find some way to edit it down. The file is huge b/c I wasn't table to be at my desk during the set and the recording went on for about 3 hours. I'll look for a way to convert this from a QT movie to MP3 and get back to you all.
great set -- I'm Your Captain is a really weird song, like a horror movie, and he wants to get back to his home port of ...Detroit?? but then things get better and he is able to get closer to home by navigating Gitche Gumee. I suppose Joanne was my BOS, although there were many candidates. And even though we all love Jerry Garcia and all that, his vocals on Box Of Rain got a little warbly for my taste at times. Then again, I suppose that *could* be part of his charm as a singer, right? As a singer, he's a great guitarist! Box of Pain, anyone? :o

haha, no offense meant to anyone w my post. I suppose I knew some reaction would happen here, but no big deal. I like the Dead all right -- more or less -- I even saw them a couple times in Spring 85 at Hampton Roads (Jerry wore a red t-shirt!). I understand the two shows I saw were actually pretty good ones, too. Those of you who listen to live GD tapes might even have them. I like JG, he's an icon and all that, but I dunno, man.. there were a couple times in that BOR recording today when he just wasn't cutting it for me.

BOS "O-o-h Child." More fond 3WS memories. This song really sounds best at 3:45am.
Something tells me that the Dino cover will NOT be played in a 1993 set. And it won't be my "Song from 1993 that I want to hear on 10@10 but probably won't" selection.
