Title: Friday Aug 12--it's 1986!
Post by: urth on August 12, 2005, 10:01:17 AM
And I am thinking this is another original, put in the can in advance--Dave's intro just had that prerecorded feel to it. 1986 on a Friday is weird though.

(Starting the thread since I assume Mshray is still in RWC.)

well, if there's a BOS vote, I'd think it has to be a rerun.
Title: first song
Post by: ggould on August 12, 2005, 10:04:44 AM
was I think the Hooters, Day by Day, but we're way out of my comfort zone here in 1986.  Some wankers I don't recognize next.  (Apologies to those I've just offended by calling their favorite band wankers)

indeed.  I was expecting perhaps a "Strictly Instrumental" or maybe a Soul Patrol.  2 late-'80s sets in one week is a disappointment either way, even if '69 and '74 were both pretty damn brilliant.

But early BOS Dead or Alive, "Brand New Lover."

I guess I feel expected to  show symptoms of crankypants when in an 80's set.  No offense intended.

I had thought the DorA tune might have been a misplay (Top40Hits has it in 1987, peaked at 18) but Allmusic sez the album was released in 86 so I guess it's fair game. 'Cept I thought the rule was when it charted, not date of release. Except when it suits Dave's purposes.

Agreed about the 69 & 74 sets. The latter gets set o' the week in my book.

ETA: No BOS candidates for me yet, even this Peter Gabriel song (from his worst but most successful solo record).

ETA2: Although I must admit I am enjoying Tony Levin's bass/Chapman Stick playing on this song. Better than some of the other tunes DM could have played I guess. OK, HM.

(Geoff, got a pair of crankypants for me?)
Title: Peter Gabriel, when he got good
Post by: ggould on August 12, 2005, 10:16:27 AM
a play on the "Genesis, when they were good" riff.  I actually like Peter Gabriel a lot more post-Genesis, than when he was in Genesis.  I guess you could say that pretty much leaves all Genesis out for me!
Title: Guilty Pleasure? West End Girls
Post by: ggould on August 12, 2005, 10:17:42 AM
even though if I spend a millisecond thinking about it, it's really  silly,  I kinda like this song

Actually D or A probably did more than their share of wanking back in the day. So no offense taken :wink:

And a def. WOS: Steve Winwood. He did so much better material earlier and later in his career.

Btw, he's playing the Fillmore in September. Tix on sale Sunday. Ditto for David Bromberg, which is something I shan't miss. Bromberg rules.

can't BOS, since he's drowning in 80's here, but general props for his legacy of  work.

Yeah, this sounds like a Phil Collins song.  Almost sounds like the Philster singing backing vocals on it.  Might have to check...Nope, not on there.

I heard Bromberg played on KPIG last week -- first time I'd heard him in decades -- and I thought  "whatever happened to him?" He got lots of play on '70s NYC prog FM.

BOS Cameo! what's the word?

He kind of retired in the early 90s & moved to Tarrytown NY and learned to make violins. He's just started playing out again in the last couple of years. Saw him in Petaluma last summer and he was great--had his original quartet with him, and his voice was much stronger than it had been a decade before. And he still plays like a mofo.

OK, here's my BOS: Smithereens, Behind the Wall of Sleep.

well, you don't have to think a hard as you do when you listen to phish. it's just jamming stuff. more allman brothers than the dead. don't let the hippie dancers fool you. those boys are southern rock. chico style.

Speaking of KPIG, which is a fantastic radio station that webcasts at 128KB and sounds great, is anybody going to the KPIG songwriters' festival at Villa Montalvo on the 21st?  My wife and I are going.  Should be a cool time.

since this is probably  a repeat, I'll repeat my comments I probably made before, that this is one of those "perfect songs."

you were in a band? do tell!

We were pretty much a KFOG cover band that played mostly at Stanford campus parties, and a couple times at a dive in Sunnyvale called the Oasis.  We actually had a gig scheduled there when the band disintegrated.  I had to call the owner and tell her we couldn't make it.  They'd already put posters up saying we were coming.  I felt terrible, and still do whenever I think of it.  That was in 1991!  I played guitar and tenor sax and sang, after a fashion.

a dedicated follower, i'm sure! don't feel too bad about cancelling the gig. it happens. it's like cancelling a dentist's appointment. they all have to listen to muzak instead.

Fridays are replays with the intro frsshly recorded. I asked Dave about my bday set next Friday since he'll be on location again. He said email him date. He will record a current intro but play an old set. I think I'll request anything 1969-1979.
