Fingers crossed...
instant BOS to an all-time fave, "Grazin' in the Grass"
-
Yup, you've just been transported back to the sweltering heat of Summer '68.

More cowbell! BOS for Hugh Grazin'.

thanks for remembering. It really is amazing how powerfully this song brings back that particular memory.

Another BOS for the Grass Roots, sounding extraordinarily clean. This is not the standard version, is it? Maybe not even the Grass Roots?
-
WOS to AstroTurf Grass Roots. WTF?!
-
WTF? whose version of "Midnite Confessions" is this??

I assumed it was an after-the-fact budget re-recording. But maybe it is a cover - the voice sounds faintly like Jose Feliciano, dunnit?

I've heard the "remade" GR versions, and I don't think this is them. WTF indeed. Sounds like Trini Lopez!
-
Yay for the Hollywood Squares - and for Sly's "Life," which I'm sure is an ATBB.
-
OMG! BOS2 one of my fave little-heard Sly jams, "Life" -- lookit Mistah Stewart!

BOS3 American Breed.

Weird tune, sounds like the circus. Never heard it before, as far as I know.
-
BOS2 to "Bend Me Shape Me," my kind of bubblegum sunshine pop.

I wanna say it was a B-side of either "DTTM" or "Stand".
-
Bwahahaha! Planet of the Damned Dirty Apes into "Me & My Monkey". Oh, AL you card!
-
BOS for even more cowbell from the Beatles!
-
another ATBB from Quicksiilver -- "Dino's Song". Bustout of the Month candidate, fo' sho'. BOS5 (BOS4 was the Beatles, yay)
-
Bay Area twin-spin with JA's "Crown of Creation." Far from my favorite of their songs, but I'm delighted to get them at all.
-
Holy Flaming Mother of Grace! BOS6 "Crown of Creation"!! AL's blowing me away today.

a 3-spin, methinks -- that was Steve Miller's "Qucksilver Girl" after, um, Quicksilver.
-
The overexposed "Mighty Quinn" is sticking out like a sore eskimo amidst the other jewels here. Bet it wins BOS.

No kidding--proxy of Geoff, too. Pretty much any Quicksilver that's not Pride of Man would be a bustout--that was the only one DM ever played.
-
VHM Buckley vs. Vidal -- that was some amazing TV. ah, CCR to close us out.
-
Wow, who was doing the Point/Counterpoint bit with all the Nazi baiting and bleeped words? Pretty nice clip, whatever it was.
-
Does Suzy-Q sound funny to you? I keep hearing a weird crunching sound coming from the middle.

yup, I'm hearing it too.
ETA: methinks AL played the loooong version just to get the set past 30 minutes...
-
me too. got here just in time for the crunching sound.
-
Excellent set, as we've come to expect. I came in right at the end of Dino's song, so I'll have to hit the replay tonite.

ABC had Buckley & Vidal on during the conventions to "debate" various issues during times when not much was happening down on the floor. It was quite remarkable.

I hate 10 o'clock meetings. Will have to catch this one tonight. Will probably go to sleep after track 8. Not that I don't like the Quinn and the Q, but they are the least necessary.

2. Grass Roots - Midnight Confessions (remaster)
Well, nice try, AL, but what you played was a flat-out remake (with a completely different lead singer, to my ears). A "remaster" is something else entirely.
KCDX, for some reason, has that awful CD of GrassRoots remakes in their library and every time a GR song comes up in their rotation, it's one of those. Happily, the originals are easy to find on Amazon.

Yeah, wish I could've heard it.
-
Not a bad set, but it really didn't take off until the SF Sound three-fer in mid-set. I'd have voted the Quicksilver tune BOS had I been here for it.
Loved the Vidal/Buckley debate. I assume it was Vidal that called Buckley a Nazi?
And I concur that the Grass Roots was unmistakeably a remake.

With the possible exception of the drums, this album holds up really well after all these years. Solid bass, great singing, exquisite guitar work, great melodies.

great to hear Quicksilver Girl right after Dino's song

and to finish off the SF threefer, great bass work, great Grace work, one of their high-water marks.
