Amazing. Hoping for something pop-heavy. My FB requests: "Arizona", "Candida" and "Heaven Help Us All"

I took her intimation on FB to be 75 since all mentioned events were mid-decade. I think I'll miss the set. Traveling to Wisconsin for work. I hope not to be awake at midnight there. Best part of the trip will be that Tuesday is a free night and the Cubs are in town playing the Brewers. I have a ticket and will be checking out Miller Park!
I miss all of you. Wish I could check in here more often.

I will absolutely imbibe and enjoy the local offerings. Hopefully checking out Coors Field in August. Not too excited about drinking Coors! Trip July 31 for a week. The Giants are playing the Rockies on the 3rd I think and my hotel is ONE mile from the ballpark.

So after registering a handful of suggestions for tomorrow's '70 set, I realize tonight that I have a 10am meeting in Portland for a new farmers' market that starts in 2 weeks, so I'm gonna miss the initial broadcast. Hope it turns out well for y'all (how could it not--'70 is such a superlative year for pop singles) and be sure to shout out if any of mine show up. Here's what I asked for:

Ray Price-For the Good Times
The Delfonics-Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)
Barbra Streisand-Stoney End
Aretha's cover of Border Song
the Flaming Embers- Westbound #9.

Ha! I thought of Babs too -- an all-time-fave of mine. But I associate it with '71 (it peaked, chartwise, in Feb) so I decided to hold off until that year.  But if it comes up I won't complain.

In the Maysles Bros' Gimme Shelter movie, you see the Dead arrive at the Speedway, then they get work of the security shenanigans and hear about Marty Balin getting clocked in the face, and they do an about face.   Smart career move.

Maybe Elton was providing some comfort for Steve out in the country...


I wonder if Elton ever cringes when he sings what Bernie wrote (or wrought):

Now the old fat goose is flying cross the sticks
The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks
And the rocking chair's creaking on the porch
Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch

Eek.

TANC: A couple of days ago a FB friend posted this clip, likely an outtake from Gimme Shelter, of the Dead and the Stones standing around on a pier somewhere on the Embarcadero waiting for a helicopter to take them to Altamont. Pretty interesting.

My sisters would quote the Bananarama version as "I'm your penis, I'm your fire". More or less to piss of my parents. Of course they would also sing "Gatorade is piss aid, for that deep down body piss".
