Title: 8 April 2011: it's... Giants Home Opener/SF songs
Post by: RGMike on April 07, 2011, 08:47:06 PM
No clues so far, but I'm wondering if we'll get a Tax Day set next Friday, and Earth Day the following week.

AL sez it's "10 great songs for one great City", in honor of Giants' home opening day. So long as it doesn't turn into a "put me in, coach" baseball set, I'm down with that.

I prefer the gay softball version, "put it IN, coach!"

I suspect this set may contain recycled material  ;) Hoping for the Village People; dreading Journey. Oy.

Yawn.  And another yawn for Mr. Isaak.  This set's supposed to get people excited about baseball?

Seems like it's a good chance for an all-Katrina set. Chris Isaak bunts a single by mentioning the city's name a million times.

Please please please NOOOO, when the lights go down. Ugh, turning it off.

actually, no -- the home opener is just an excuse to play SF songs. Snoozy ones, apparently. WOS Journey.

Based on the games I've been to, Giants fans have a generally bad taste in music so you should have expected this set to Titanic.

(Before you get all upset, that applies to all baseball fans.)

True.  But I find that the Giants and A's -- whoever is in charge of music at each park, that is -- are among the least creative in MLB. I mean, I don't think I've ever heard Tower of Power at a game in Oakland, for example.

here's yer old hippie music, Geoff.

The first dozen times I heard it, it was such a reflief that it wasn't "Hey 'Ho Blistah" that I kinda overpraised it as a decent Stones cop. But as gaz pointed out: "Tenderloin/Tender coin" is just cringeworthy.

to be fair, the end of this live Franti thing makes more sense than the rest of the song for the theme.

our band plays this song, and it's not trivial at all!  The bass line at the beginning is smooth, but not easy to play.

HA! I avoided both getting Speared and the Train-wreck. I totally called this one as headed downhill. To me, this was WSOAT (Worst Set of All Time). When I think San Francisco, I think Dead Kennedies and not Train. Not taking any chances on this set, it was all cheeze.

Looking forward to 1990, 84, and 74 replays tomorrow.

I missed the set, and it doesn't appear I should be regretful.

However, I don't think it's as bad as some of the Ka-Boom! (haven't heard anything about that this year by the way) or the Live From The Archives sets. At least today they weren't pimping anything.

The songs of the Ka-Boom set actually weren't bad, it was just doomed by principle.  Anyway, Ka-Boom is having "technical difficulties" & they're looking at pushing it back to September, if it even happens this year. :(  The Piers aren't safe anymore (although they're trying to fix that, may not be 'til next year though) and last year's was not well attended enough to have it at Candlestick again.
