Title: Tues June 28 it's... 1978
Post by: RGMike on June 28, 2005, 09:52:07 AM: Why do I suspect we'll get a '78 set in the next day or two featuring Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds?

Little Steven devoted a whole show to WOTW Sun nite.

I'm missing the set (at least most of it, anyway) due to a lunch meeting. BOS to "Forever Autumn" just on a hunch.

That's a pretty deep cut for Dave to play, but he always seems more willng to do that with Elvis than just about anyone else.

OK, was the Richard Burton dialogue part of the Moodies' song, or has DM been having fun in the editing bay again? They seem to fit together pretty seamlessly.,

Post by: Beej on June 28, 2005, 10:14:19 AM: From what I understand about this new WotW movie- Morgan Freeman does, like, voice-over narration. So, he's like the Richard Burton of this new version of WotW.

I think it's that way on the LP... or maybe this was a radio-only edit. The freestanding "Autumn" is the 45 edit, I always assumed.

Yep, but not in 1978, methinks. 73-74 is where I recall him making an appearance.

Well, here's the winner of the popular BOS vote. GD & Todd, both pretty much locks on BOS whenever they appear. (Have they ever gone head to head in a set, I wonder?_

Here's a good site for the dish:
http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/entertainers/child-stars/dana-plato/

ETA: here's a great little bit of prose from the above bio

She believed a five-page spread in the June 1989 issue of Playboy magazine might lead to some positive attention, but her pictorial was overshadowed by the centerfold: Playmate of the Year Kimberly Conrad, Hugh Hefner's new bride. Two Kimberlys were bad enough, but Conrad [Bain] was the name of the actor who played Kimberly's father on Diff'rent Strokes. It all proved too confusing for American masturbators, and Plato's career seemed permanently shelved. Leads were drying up, and she found herself unable to pay the rent. She was even developing a cocaine addiction. Had the Just-Say-No episode featuring First Lady Nancy Reagan all been a dream?

Dave plays his share of Bob. But then KFOG has him in regular rotation.

funny, I guess it seems obvious, but I'm not sure who my favorite band is. It's probably the Dead, but there's so many others I feel so strongly about.

Doubtful in my case. NRBQ has been played once or twice, but only Get That Gasoline Blues in 74, which is far from their best.

I mentioned it in another thread, but I'll retread here: Bob Christgau reviews the book in this week's Village Voice. Apparently it's an enjoyable read, but it's 300 pages, which I'm not sure is warranted or feasible no matter how engaging the deets of Syl's odd life may have been. Best revelation: Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes are masterful storytellers.

And Led Zeppelin didn't have anything going in '78. J. Geils might have had a release (Monkey Island, or Love Stinks).

Anyway, of the songs I heard (got back from the dentist in the middle of the Dead), I'll pick "Dreadlock Holiday" BOS. I don't like psuedo-reggae, I love it!

300 pages is pretty damn short for a bio, even if the subject died young. Xgau aside (I love that abbreviation!) I've seen several rave reviews. But I'll wait for paperback (I'm just now catching up with Moneyball). :wink:

Speaking of Syl & that period, KQED reran the docu "The Castro" for Pride, and lo & behold, that's where Dave got all his clips for the Pride set -- someone had asked Fri or Sat.
