Dave spilled it before the pre-set commercials.
-
yay! one of my fave years musically (and most memorable emotionally, tho' not all good).
BOS Paul, "Was A Sunny Day"! Been a LONG time since Dave played this.

Sounds like Linda McCartney on the backing vocals, which would be baffling on many, many levels if it were the case.

No, that was "ANOTHER Sunny Day" :wink:
-
Saturday Nite's alright for firing Archibald Cox.
-
BOS Paul, "Was A Sunny Day"! Been a LONG time since Dave played this.
I'll give it at least a VHM--from Paul Simon's Hispanic period (see also Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard). A great start in any case.
And what trip to '73 would be complete without a visit to Yellow Brick Road?
-
Sigh. "Saturday Night" is one of my least-favorite tracks off GYBR, along with "Jamaican Jerk-Off" and "Your Sister Can't Twist." Would have much rather heard "Grey Seal" or "Danny Bailey," the latter of which may be the only GYBR track Dave hasn't played on 10@10.
-
I don't know the artists or title, but I really like this song... BOS
The world is a ghetto?

I don't believe he's ever played "Your Sister" OR "Jerk-Off" either. I'd've remembered -- those didn't even get airplay when the LP was hot hot hot.
-

The world is a ghetto?
Dude, it's War!
-
BOS, "The World Is a Ghetto."
Bob made the comment a week or two ago that part of what makes War interesting is that no two of their hits sound much a like. I see a lot of truth in that.
-
BOS2, "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock & Roll Band." Even more snarky than "The Story in Your Eyes," which I like.
-

hand me the tamborine
-
a thousand miles
can lead so many ways
just to know who is driving
what a help it would be...
Best philosophical tidbit of set!
-
Sorry I'm late. Busy morning.
-
BOS2 Strawbs, ripping off an old folk song, "Union Maid" (?) as "Part of the Union".
-
Sorry I'm late. Busy morning.
Dude, Rastermon stole yer tambourine!
-
Second visit to the ghetto this afternoon. I feel like "Masterpiece" should have been a 15-minute epic instead of this 4:30 single, but that's just me. VHM, in any case.
-
slight guilty displeasure to "Masterpiece", which is towards the pretentious end of the Norman Whitfield spectrum, IMHO.
-
Mshray just called me on the cellphone and asked if anyone had noticed that Dave had played the news soundbite about Nixon's supposed "Sat Night Massacre" right before "Sat Night's All Right For Fighting".
Since I was unable to even hear that portion of today's show? I have no idea what he's really talking about. But, thereyago.
-
Sorry I'm late. Busy morning.
What's the new avatar? It's sleek, but I don't recognize it.
-
Sorry I'm late. Busy morning.
Dude, yer new avatar is makin' me dizzy. Nice work, as always.
BOS to the Temps. I'm guessing this was a follow-up to Papa Was a Rollin' Stone? Sounds like they were cut from the same cloth.
-

Thanks! It's the logo for SPECTRUM, the Mysteron-fighting organization from the classic 60s marionette kids show, Captain Scarlet!
-
BOS for Bruce, "Hard To Be a Saint"
-
And BOS2 to Bruuuuuce.
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street....
-

the LP version was longer, I'm sure. Not 15 min, but longer.

especially if the street is Polk :wink: BOS3 fer me.
-
BOS3 to "Saint in the City" for sheer fuckin' ambition alone.
-
BOS 4 Deodato!!! I requested this for Friday's Instrumentals set -- Yay!
-

Oh, totally. Whitfield won a Grammy for PWARS's arrangement, why wouldn't he go to that well again?
Meantime, nice to hear "Also Sprach Zarathustra," which I bet would be the Mshray BOS vote today.
-
Yet another BOS to Eumir Deodato's groovy take on Also Sprach Zarathustra. Another "haven't heard it in years" kinda tune.
-
Honorable Flashback to Deodato, whose name I didn't know until you guys told me. But, I remember hearing this in '73.
-
Flash Bazbo, Space Katrina! But still damn funny.
"and then you can crinkle the cellophane later..." LOL!
-
And a different Flash Bazbo clip to boot!
And now we get Black Maria--BOS4. I'm guessing there'll be heavy turnout at the polls today!
-
uh oh, "Black Mariah". I thought Mariah was only half-black...
-
There's a Mariah goin' on.
Any chance we can finish off with Sly's "If You Want Me to Stay"?
-
Oh, fun! BOS4 to Hurricane Smith, "Oh, BAYYYBE, What Would You Say?"
-
BOS #2: Hurricane Smith
-
There's a Mariah goin' on.
Any chance we can finish off with Sly's "If You Want Me to Stay"?
Will you settle for Hurricane Smith?
I thought not. VHM for me, a fine ripe piece of pop cheeze.
-
Wouldn't you just love to hear Carol Channing sing this?
-
Sorry I'm late. Busy morning.

It took me a minute too. Thought it was Smilin Faces then Papa was a rolling stone.
-

I thought this WAS Carol Channing...
-
I'm with y'all on Hurricane Smith as another BOS candidate.
FAB set today--this will be hard to beat for set of the week.
The first half of the 70s are by far my fave 10@10 fodder from 71 thru 75. Rarely a clinker in my book.
-
Applause to Dave for a marvelously eclectic set today.

Next week is "Live from the archives week"... I'm wondering if we'll get a shamelessly self-promotional set on Friday. Next week also brings the "Summer Set" AND the "Pride Set".

is it me, or has the threat of MAX made him kick it up a notch lately?
oh FWIW, CG's player is working again.

Something sure has. We've been getting all sorts of little-if-ever-heard tunes for the past month or so. Even the mid-80s sets--hell, even last week's '91 visit--have been a cut above what we're used to. Bravo, I say.
(Although I don't wish any success on Max--anything that could weaken the KFOG market share in the eyes of prospective owners is a bad thing. And radio without live announcers is a REALLY bad thing. Let's hope the Fogheads are at least loyal.)
-

BOS Paul, "Was A Sunny Day"! Been a LONG time sine Dave played this.
Sounds like Linda McCartney on the backing vocals, which would be baffling on many, many levels if it were the case.
As it turns out, that's the Roches (well, 2 of 'em, Maggie & Terri) on backup. But since they've been accused of being off-key by some, it's appropriate you'd mistake them for Linda. :wink:

checking in from Truckee; played golf in Livermore today, wilted on the back 9, chilling for a few days. Doubt y'all will see me here real-time, but who knows?

Annalisa slipped in sort of an extra unofficial bonus track too--she played D'yer Mak'er before the quiz/bonus track bit, which she mentioned as being another 73 tune. Quite nice.

I guess Beej mentioned this since I called him, but this was in fact a brilliant segue, from the news clips around the firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox (the first two guys Nixon asked to carry out the firing resigned instead, leaving it to Alexander Haig, all of which happened on a Saturday, hence it went down in history as 'The Saturday Night Massacre') into "Saturday Night's Alright".
I called Dave to compliment him, and he said, "You liked that, did you?"
Which to me shows that he is definitely putting more effort into this stuff of late. Even our least favorite years have at least one nice surprise.
-
The long and the short of it:
On one hand, the MTM/Walter Cronkite clip was remarkably long--about two and a half minutes. Conversely, it seemed like the Springsteen tune got cut off before it finished. Tsk.
Another record Dave should dig deeper into: Rundgren's Something/Anything. Nothing wrong with Hello It's Me, I Saw the Light or Black Maria, but there are at least 3 other songs that'd be welcome nuggets in any 72 or 73 set: It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference, Couldn't I Just Tell You (a strong candidate for inclusion in my power-pop birthday set list), and for novelty factor, Song of the Viking. Probably a couple others I'm not thinking of at the moment, too.
Again, can I just say what a superlative set this was. The sets we're getting lately have constituted one of the better hot streaks I can recall. Very fine, very fine indeed.
