No clues on FB, indeed no posts by AL all weekend. Is THIS the week she's out of town? If so, "classics" ahead.
Jeezus, talk about a "stop set": tuned in at 9:53 and KFOG was in commercials; 7 minutes later they still are.
sounds like '81 and sounds like a rerun to me.

those good Catholic boys from Ireland prove Latin is not a dead language.
BOS U2 and Gloria
1981. That is THE prime Rush year, and since they played the Concord Pavilion last night, doing their Moving Picutures album in its entirety, I would almost bet we hear a cut from that.
RGM sez it's a classic set?
then maybe I'll be Searching for that in the archives.

if this were a new set, I'd agree but it's from last year: a set with the Good (Joan Jett), the Bad (Styx), and the 'Trin-y ("Magnificent 7").

Right. The bad news is no Rush in the set :( , the good news is we get to hear Marty Balin (that's good news.. right? :-\ )

Still willin' to bet??! Won't spoil it, but hope Gaz is listening, as Marty Balin is coming up.
BTW Tink, I went to Alameda County Fair last four eve's, saw Charlie Daniels, Foghat, Tower of Power and last night Blue Oyster Cult. Fun sets, TOP especially hot, as always. I even got to chat a few minutes with all the guys from Foghat. Did you know that two of them were in Savoy Brown (10at10 1969 staple "I'm Tired") prior to Foghat??

Is there a worse Santana song than "Searchin?"

I'm tempted to say "Talk To Ya Later" and go back to 1340 The Boardwalk. In fact... I will.
-
Is there a worse Santana song than "Searchin?"
on this we can agree!

Is there a worse Santana song than "Searchin?"
"Why Don't You And I?"

I was real excited to see them open for Zappa at Winterland, since I was a big Savoy Brown fan. They were terrible, and roundly booed after their set. They still did an encore, and the lead singer (Lonesome Dave or something?) muttered something like "you can't please all the people all the time!"
-
Go-Go's!
"Our Lips Are Sealed"

Yes, that is the worst one.

Anyone planning on seeing Three Dog Night Thursday Night at the Marin County Fair?

BTW Tink, I went to Alameda County Fair each of last four eve's, saw Charlie Daniels, Foghat, Tower of Tower and last night Blue Oyster Cult. Fun sets, TOP especially hot, as always. I even got to chat a few minutes with all the guys from Foghat. Did you know that two of them were in Savoy Brown (10at10 1969 staple "I'm Tired") prior to Foghat??
dude... Foghat came directly out of The Savoy Brown Blues Band. As I understand it (from wikipedia, etc) Savoy Brown leader Kim Simmonds and his brother manager were less that equal with the salary structure to the band members, so the rhythm guitarist (Lonesome Dave Peverett, who also sang), the bass player and drummer all skedaddled for greener pastures.
They added a lead guitarist and boogie blues RAWKers Foghat was born. They replaced the bass player in the 70s, and then the two guitarists died in the 2000s. However, the drummer and the bass player filled out the ranks with replacements of sorts (the two new guitarists each have decent rock pedigrees and the one that sings is a good frontman, he used to sing in Ted Nugent's band) and they have been soldiering on since for better or worse.
I saw them on Saturday night in Petaluma, double bill: Foghat and BÖC. It was fun. The big three Foghat hits (Fool for the City, Slow Ride and I Just Wanna Make Love To You) are all on my playlist.
How was Blue Oyster Cult? did they play Last Days Of May, the story of a drug deal gone bad?

Yes, that is the worst one.
I'll agree that it's the most overplayed, but I don't have the same "Smooth" hate that others have.

Yes, you have to deduct Katrina factors when judging music historically. "Searchin'" is way more egregious than "Smooth!"
:D

I had this Joan Jett song on 8-Track as part of a K-Tel comp. I think it also had "Nobody" by Sylvia.

Rob Thomas sounds a bit like Cher, IMO.

no, but I might go see Roy Clark at the Alameda County Fair that night!

My hat is off to you, sir: you are doing the county fair thing correctly!
I hope to get to Alameda's fair, it's probably my favorite for offering a contrast to cold & urban SF.
The heat, the model train pavilion, the farm animals -- love it.

Dang cow-orkers. Anyway, you've done your homework, Tink. In talking with the band on Friday, the current Foghat lead singer/guitarist said he was with Ted Nugent late 70s to mid-80s, then Humble Pie for ten years; their other current guitarist, Bryan Bassett, was with Wild Cherry in 70s, he was the one who played the famous lick in "Play That Funky Music" while their lead singer Rob did the guitar solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe1ScoePqVA. BOC was good, but felt they were phoning-it-in, while Foghat seemed to play with a more free-spirited style. BOC did Burnin' For You, Godzilla, Shooting Shark, Shadow of California, Make Rock Not War, a couple others, and of course (more cowbell) Don't Fear The Reaper.

It's in my town, very convenient. Also, enjoy the horse racing and be sure to see my annual rock music history display in the Hobby Building.

Feb 17th 2011, to be exact.

I think I would go with Souvenir and Joan Jett.
Hold on SMOOTHLY was all over my radio back in '81. never really liked it, although .38 Special's Fantasy Girl ain't bad.

the Santana, Styx and .38 Special are all WOSes, which is 3 too many, and of course "Mag 7" I never need to hear again ever, which is why I bailed.

Dang cow-orkers. Anyway, you've done your homework, Tink. In talking with the band on Friday, the current Foghat lead singer/guitarist said he was with Ted Nugent late 70s to mid-80s, then Humble Pie for ten years; their other current guitarist, Bryan Bassett, was with Wild Cherry in 70s, he was the one who played the famous lick in "Play That Funky Music" while their lead singer Rob did the guitar solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe1ScoePqVA.

No Cities on Flame or ETI? Quelle horreur!
Our local county fair has Foghat and Guess Who coming (on successive nights, not a double bill) in August. Then Cheap Trick plays the State Fair in Salem at the end of the month for a mere double sawbuck. Hoping I can catch at least two of the three. (I haven't researched it, but my gut tells me there's neither Cummings or Bachman in this edition of the Guess Who.)

listen to your gut: no Cummings or Bachman when I saw them. It was like they were called "Can You GUESS WHO We're Supposed To Be?"

Ha! there's always been a lot of hate here for "Winning", which is certainly a Moreytrina, tho" i always give credit to the original (1977) version by Russ Ballard, who wrote it. I prefer his take.

And speaking of 70s arena rockers playing venues far smaller than their fans would have believed 30 years ago: Saw that Ted Nugent, the ol' Motor City Madman hisself, is playing the Independent next week. Not quite the bargain that those county fair circuit shows are however: a mere $55 gets you in the door.

Whether there are enough Nuge fans still around who are willing to pony up that kind of bank is anyone's guess. It'd be fun to hear him go off on SF politics though. Or not.

I dislike "Winning" mainly because it's so derivative of Mark Knopler's playing. On its own, it's not that bad, just bland. On the other hand, I guess I simply find "Searchin'" grating to my ears.
