Sax-solo classics in honor of Clarence. Nice idea. But I suspect this means no Summer Set on Tuesday.

Given the circumstances I can live with that. There are 75 posts in the request thread so far; not sure if it's worth throwing my .02 in at this point. But what the f***.

I don't believe there's anything in the 10@10 constitution that says one can't have three specialty sets in a row (and three this week). Plus with the 4th coming up, it may be awhile before we have another full week of year sets.

I remember once towards the end of the Dave era we got three days in a row of ThemeSets. But it's rare. I just figured since they re-ran last year's Summer Set on Memorial Day, AL might kick it to the curb.

AL told me that she's going back East for vacay and will have to replay last year's Pride set. Wah.

actually, that's not too bad, as the 2 she has done (2009 and 2010) weren't that different anyway, and both were quite good. My only request would've been that she repeat Carl Bean's "I Was Born This Way" (and NOT play Lady Gaga!) and maybe add Billy Bragg's "Sexuality". But a rerun will be just fine.

instant BOS Jr Walker, pickin' tomatas and diggin' potatas
-
Saxy indeed. TOTHC Jr Walker sounding good.
-
Bowie arrives with some hung Americans.

Bowie arrives with some hung Americans.
Of course, that's two alto sax songs in a row, but no sense getting technical about it...
-
David Sanborn checks in, blowing with the Thin White Duke. VHM Young Americans, even though it's far from a rarity.
-
Can we assume that Clarence himself will be represented with Jungleland, probably as Tune #10?

AL said as much on Facebook.
-
Youngs American sax not blowin me away. Tower of Power or Chicago would sound better.
-
I'll never complain about hearing Rafferty.
BOS2
-
and speaking of far-from-rarities: "Baker Street", inevitable but worthy.

Is Sherlock's pipe actually a saxophone?

I love all the location-specific decorations in the London Tube -- NYC has just started copying that in the last 10 years.

Stones!!

Love this Stones song! Just watched The Exile doc the other night. Fun times.
-
"You got... MASSIVE BOOBS". BOS2 Stones.
-
Love this Stones song! Just watched The Exile doc the other night. Fun times.
Wow, assuming this plays all the way out (how can it not?) and we get all 9-plus minutes of Jungleland (ditto), this could be a pretty damn long set.

ditto ditto "Deacon Blues" -- sax solos do tend to pad things out. "Learn to work the saxophone..."
-
Ahhhh, "Deacon Blues" is a beautiful and obvious choice that I didn't think of.
-
Lovely. Proxy of POC BOS The Dan
-

Not sure anyone did--I don't remember if any of the FB crew requested this. Of course, since I didn't catch AL's proclamation that Jungleland was a given, I suppose it's possible I missed it. ;)
BOS to the Dan and Pete Christlieb's superlative solo.
"They got a name for the winners in the world..."
Gotta also give props to the understated guitar solo that weaves around the sax part at the end of DB. Lee Ritenour, I think.
-
Too bad my kid isn't listening. He loves "Bad to the Bone!" (Should I be worried??)
-
WOS Thoroughb-b-b-b-b-b-bad. 2nd only to "Mr Blue Sky" in terms of TV/Movie/Commercials overexposure.
-
Dang cow-orkers, missed last two tunes.
-

I got orked too, right after DB started!
-
Leave it to the girl from Beantown to throw some Morphine in the mix. Me likes. Another BOS.
-
Even the FB-Fogheads are calling the Thorogood tune "overplayed". Ha!
-
Yay for Morphine which I suggested and was echoed by Giter Dunn, though he suggested "Honey White", which I don't really like.
-

Wow Morphine, forgot all about them, just a sax and drums, right? A lot of noise from two guys!
-

It's NTM and I'm not feeling it either.
-
the Nazi-est sound around! er... what??

I like that. "orked" = work disruption resulting in missing part of set.

Nuttiest - Madness

Don't forget Mark Sandman's two-string fretless bass. It's a critical part of the sound.
-

Nutsiest, you big silly.
it's one of my all-time mondegreens. Esp since the ska thing was favored by skinheads, it struck me as quite ironic. Sure it's not "nastiest"?

No, they had a bass, too: the late Mark Sandman. Two strings.
Props to you Wayback. Was just going thru the request thread, and you've gotten four hits so far (although one was the oft-called-for Baker Street).

Heh, well, I never heard it that way...
-
BOS3 "Tequila" just because.
-
Can't trad into WOS territory, but tired of Tequila. Yeah, great sax but not feeling it today
-
RIP Clarence!
-
what's that spell?? Nice intro clip.
uber-BOS4 (of course) "Jungleland".

Well, most were pretty obvious: Jr Walker, Bowie, Baker St, Tequila, Bruce w/Clarence, but I dug The Dan, Stones and Morphine tracks o' sax.
-
Clarence Clemons played at a holiday party where my wife worked.
Before the the dotcom bust when companies didn't have to make money to be valuable.
-
Epic.
-
Tonight. In. Jun. Gle. Laaaaaand.
-
Saw Clarence give a free concert about 15 years ago at Oakland ferry dock, on the big lawn in front of the Port of Oakland building just north of Jack London Square. I videotaped it on a new-at-the-time camcorder, perhaps I should get that transferred to digital. Of course saw him with Bruce numerous times over the years.

Death happens. Is it ever easy for those that cared about/loved the deceased?
-
A few rather significant pauses before AL turned up the mic and then in the first minute of the backsell, don'tcha think? Was AL a little verklempt? I would not be surprised.

Regrettably I missed this set. But I do remember when George Harrison passed there was a 10@10 dedicated to him. Dave didn't seem all that worked up about that incident... it seemed almost like an obligatory dedication.

The time is coming when more of the music stars of the '60s, 70s, 80s will pass and we'll take a moment to pay tribute then as well. However, think about it, there are many '50s music stars still with us: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Everly Brothers, Paul Anka, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Rydell, Little Anthony, Harry Belafonte, Pat Boone, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Debbie Reynolds, Dave Brubeck...

Now THERE's a trivia question for which I'm not sure what the answer is. Who is the oldest still-living person to have a Top 40 hit (1955 on)?

And perhaps another question: which of those artists you mentioned would be worthy of a 10@10 dedication set?

Definitely Chuck Berry, the father of rock & roll, and perhaps Little Richard, Jerry Lee and Fats. Did a preliminary search to answer your trivia question, but what comes up is "the oldest person (at the time) to make the Top 40."

I can imagine AL doing a Chuck Berry set -- alternating between his stuff and "all Chuck's children... playin' his licks" (Seger's "Get Out Of Denver" for one example; ELO's cover of "Roll Over Beethoven" and so on). And maybe Little Richard. I can't picture us getting a Jerry Lee or Fats 10@10.

I remember that set well. It was one of the first that I recorded digitally, and I still try to listen to it at the end of November when the anniversary of George's passing comes around. I agree that Dave mostly kept his composure during the intro and backsell, but I don't think it was at all obligatory; I think Dave was truly moved to do it--he loved the Beatles. For one thing, it aired the day after George died, so he likely had to throw it together pretty quickly. Also, Dave didn't do too many "in memoriam" sets. Yes, he'd drop a song by a recently deceased artist into a set the next time the appropriate year came around (which was often sooner than later), but the only ones I remember getting a whole set on the occasion of their death were George Harrison, Bo Diddley, and Maurice Gibb (and Bo's set was more like today's--songs that used the Bo Diddley beat rather than all songs by him).
As to the question about who deserves a 10@10 tribute, mostly I agree w/ Mike: Chuck Berry and maybe Little Richard. Personally I'd love to hear an Everly Brothers set but that could be a stretch.

I would agree, definitely Chuck Berry and maybe Little Richard would get a 10at10 (mixed with covers of their tunes). Now, would BOTH Everlys have to pass (at same time, even) to perhaps get a song or set on 10at10?

I remember Dave once, in the '90s, saying "I don't do 'death-day' sets" when someone wanted a Lennon death anniv 10@10. (and some years later Dave bowed to Foghead pressure and did one anyway).

TANC, listening to Radio Deluxe (the John Pizziarelli podcast) and he played Ms King's "Jazzman", feat Tom Scott, which would've been a fine addition today -- was it among the Facebook requests?
