Title: 8 Jan 2013: it's... 1978
Post by: RGMike on January 08, 2013, 10:02:56 AM
seems like we just did '78 recently. (ETA: it was mid November, amazingly)

instant uber-LN: Thorogood.

I disagree, nice TOHK.  One of the lesser played Thorogood songs.  What I think you really mean is that you don't care for Lonesome George.

LOL, I was going to call in a LN myself.  It was always tedious in my book, and that it gets played in a lot of 10 @ 10s doesn't help it any.

One of his more oft-played songs back in the day, but haven't heard it in awhile. And I really needed to hear this today. So BOS from me.

I liked him once upon a time.  It may not be "Bad to the Bone" but I wouldn't call this song "lesser-played", esp on Classic Rock radio. He really only has 3 songs that get airplay.

The Band's live "The Weight" from Last Waltz feat the Staples is reasonably off-the-beaten path -- maybe the only semi-rarity we get today.  "take a load off yo' fanny"

Todd is something of a Guilty Displeasure for me.  Something about him just doesn't quite work with my sensibilities.

Fair enough. I can accept that.

Joe isn't doing a lot for me though, although better than his late 70s Eagles output.

disco cliche alert: Sat Nite Fever clip followed by "YMCA". Oy.  Of course if that was meant as a sly comment on Travolta's sexuality, then VHM.

I think This. Whole. Set. is. So. Jive!

BOS2 Brooooce. Not that rare either but "Badlands" is maybe in my Springsteen all-time Top 5.

and another unintentionally clever segue after YMCA, as Badlands is a gay bar.

Did he quit the club again?  Or just bail because they were playing one of the two bands he likes?

I've been trying to avoid fb during work.

ETA:  BOS5, Van the Man.

Agree about its LN-ness, but I have to confess I didn't know this was a cover for about five years after this came out.

Nine of ten songs fit into the mainstream rock category, and the late '70's was characterized by eclecticism and innovation. This set did not represent that well (YMCA as a change of pace doesn't cut it).

Every set can't represent every aspect of a time period.  This set did represent one aspect of '78 -- pretty much what I was listening to at the time (for better and worse).  '77 and '78 sets rarely inspire me much, and I can't say this one was over the top great, but it was enjoyable.  And no Boston!  I mean, how bad can a '78 set be that doesn't have Boston?   :P

indeed -- AL did *many* late-'70s sets that were almost all New Wave and some folks complained that there was no mainstream rock, so yer damned if ya do and damned if ya don't.  Meanwhile it's clear that disco has been reduced to cameo appearances by overplayed classics (BeeGees, "YMCA", and the like).
