Title: 22 Feb 2010: "a late-'70s year" (1977)
Post by: RGMike on February 22, 2010, 07:20:49 AM
or so said AL on the promo. We've done '78 and '79 within the last month... '77 anyone?

ETA: Bob did '77 today; if AL comes up with a rarity as good as he did (the Outlaws' "Hurry Sundown") I'll be pleased.

Welcome to the Working Week, indeed! instant BOS1 Elvis the C.

Love that AL has a real grasp on '70s Brit New Wave/Punk. BOS2 the Jam, In The City.

Not quite New Wave, but you can see it from here. BOS3, T'in Lizzy's Dancin' In The Moonlight--not to be confused with King Harvest's song of the same name from a few years previous.

Not a bustout, but we haven't heard this on 10@10 since '06.

ETA: Nice "hot summer night" segue into Two Out of Three Ain't Bad You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth.

OMFWTFLOL! uber-BOS4 Mr Loaf's fabulous "(Hot Summer Night) You Took The Words Right Outta My Mouth" -- I bet AL says that to ALL the boyz.

nice to hear this in '77, when it was actually released (and a NY radio smash) -- it took the rest of America until early '78 to catch up.

Mr. Loaf Aday sounding surprisingly good this morning.

Yeppers! Mr. Loaf has only one appearance in a year-based set--and that was for Two Out of Three in a '78 set. His other three appearances are for Paradise... in various Valentine's theme sets. This one's a bustout, both for the song, and as an artist in '77.

BOS4 Kinks, Juke Box Music. Nice.

we're 5-for-5 so far: BOS5 Kinks.  This set is quite the Monday tonic.

"artists Dave ignored" would make a great theme set. the Loaf, Carole King, Tina Turner...

BOS6 Blondie! I'm always touched by her presence. "It's really not cheating!"

Now here's a bustout for ya. Again, a song Dave never played in a year that this band was also never played.

Uber BOS--the late Mr. DeVille--but I'm blankin' on whether this is Spanish Stroll or Venus of Avenue D?

I've never heard this Lou Reed song before (I assume it's Lou).

ETA: I see I had that wrong too.  I don't know nuthin' 'bout Mink Deville.

Holy crap! "Spanish Stroll"!!  BOS7 and proxy of geoff, Mink DeVille.

it's Mink DeVille, but yeah, it's basically Lou Reed-Meets-Springsteen

An easy mistake to make--Willy was heavily influenced by Lou, particularly in his vocals.

BOS Jimmy Carter.

Proxy of Shray to CBB, "Couldn't Get It Right."

wow -- 8 songs in and this is the closest we've come to an overplayed nugget. CBB blows my 10-way-tie, not that there's any shame in that.

And now Iggy doing his own Lou interpretation.  Good stuff, except that part about the city's ripped backside.  Ouch!

my only complaint about the "new" AL 10@10 is that her clips are as too-short as Dave's were occasionally too-meandering.

VHM Edwyn Collins Iggy.

One more BOS for Mr. Osterberg, who was much debated here last week. Iirc, Bowie produced this album and played keyboards on the tour that followed.

This is the song Carnival Cruises shoulda used, don'cha think?

And right on cue, here's the Man himself, from Heroes. Beauty and The Beast, BOS8.

speaking of Bowie -- another ATBB. BOS8 (!) "Beauty & the Beast".

shortest 1977 set on record, methinks -- it's barely 10:35!

So, has AL stopped doing a Bonus track, or is there a new intern?
