Title: 24 April 2012: it's... 1975!

But Fogheads and their love of overplayed Oldies 103.7 type shit is really on my last nerve.

But what if one doesn't listen to 103.7?

then one is quite lucky. But seriously, anything that is generally overplayed (no matter where) is just an unnecessary request IMHO. Obviously we're gonna hear something from Born to Run today because Bruce is in town. But there were suggestions in that thread for songs I never need to hear again. Granted I'm a cranky old music geek, but still.

Also, I guess I can't fathom people who listen to only KFOG, morning 'til nite. My head would explode.

I'm betting that song #10, which AL promises to be a "classic", will be "Born To Run."

Or "Kashmir."

Having just heard "Philly Freedom" on Casey's '75 chart the other day, I can't really get excited, tho' it is a good TOTHK.

But I know a Foghead who's creaming his jeans...

i had this single --  it was cheaper than buying all thew songs he used.   I would say "Hey, you want to hear that song The Hustle?" 

"Hell yeah!"

Then I would play Mr. Jaws and say "ok, just wait a sec, it's coming up."

Usually the person would leave in a huff and I would call after them "Why Can't We Be Friends?"

yes -- I was at that show too. A Saturday nite. Had floor seats. pretty wonderful.

I also saw him back in '76 or '77 at the Palladium in NYC (a movie theater-turned-concert venue, 3000 seats) and again in '79 at the "No Nukes" concert @ Madison Sq Garden, where he did some new songs that ended up on The River the following year.

I've seen him 3 times.  Great shows all.  Once outside, twice inside in Oakland.  My sister was pestering me to go to this show too, but I basically don't go to San Jose for shows -- it's just too far.  And it's Tuesday, goddammit.  I'm sure it will rock, though.

I saw that show, too, also in a floor seat. Pretty fine for a stadium show. That may have been the last time I've seen him, but there have been many other shows before that: both Oakland shows on the River tour in 1980, then all 4 of the BITUSA tour shows (two inside in 84, two at the ballpark in '85), the first Bridge show in '86, one of the Tunnel of Love shows at Shoreline in '88 (I think), the Amnesty show at Oakland Stadium in '89, and a few more since then that are not coming to me at the moment. Although I did see one of the shows in '99 in the run that SG mentioned. I think I'm due--if he makes it to Portland on a later leg of this tour, maybe...
