Doobs rock on down da highway. Well, it's not "Listen to the Music" at least.

Yes, an FF for sure, but I can't bitch about any song that has either Pops or Mavis Staples on it.

What in gawd's name was that movie clip?

BOS for Lou's "Perfect Day". I bet this has never been played on KFrOG before.

It took me forty-five seconds to realize this was a song on the show and not a stream feed commercial.

This Lou Reed number is most welcome, though.

that was Pink Flamingos, I believe.

I think AL played "Perfect Day" at least once. Dunno about Mr Morey.

Love the Dan of Steel, but something other than "Do It Again" woulda been preferable.

Great dividers: The Dan.

I rather like the songs I've heard from this first album of theirs. Let me guess, there are many worthy songs on it that never see the light of airplay that are being bypassed for this second-ranked frequent flyer.

wow: "Taxi". An SF-centric fave and one that doesn't get much play these days. BOS2.

what's with the spoken part?? -- I swear I've never heard that before.

Speaking of blackbirds,  will Renee give us the traditional MLK set on Monday?

ETA: it is indeed Mr Miller, "Journey From Eden"  BOS3 -- a serious rarity, fo' sho'

I'm probably in the minority, but I like his poppy stuff better.

So we've got two pretty serious rarities so far? Stop the presses!!!

VHM Rockin' Pneumonia--I hear this all the time on the oldies station at home, but it's a fun song, good bari sax part.

Love the heads-up sound of Argent! BOS even though this is a Morey frequent flyer.

And as the Elvira pinball machine likes to say, "Nice organ!"

Agree, but this is one I can't help but associate with the summer/fall of '72. Saw the reformed Zombies a couple of times several years back with Rod Argent on keys, and they did this one.

OMFG!!!!! They're playing an R&B song that's not completely overplayed. Three serious BOS contenders today!

(That would be Harold Melvin's If You Don't Know Me By Now, for those playing along at home.)

"If You Don't Know Me..." By the Bluenotes is hardly rare, but it's a lovely closer.  VHM.

Def one of RR's better efforts, overall.

And it turns out it wasn't even the closer. The Dead in the guise of Jerry, Deal. Always dug this one as a first-set closer in my deadhead days.

It was released under Jerry's name, but I think it's the Dead behind him. And they played this one live pretty regularly, so you're right either way.

I need to catch the replay tonight.  Too busy today at work, only caught bits and pieces.  The Lou Reed caught my ear as something new and perhaps interesting.  And I'm not familiar with the Steve Miller tune.

This was about as good a balance between LNs and rarities, between pop hits and AOR staples, as we've had with Renee. That's always easier to do in the '70s, of course, but still.

I don't think any of us were familiar with that Steve Miller tune. Although Geoff is yet to be heard from.

Yes, that's as good a set as Renee has done--this and her Dec 21 End of the World set are my two faves, if I had to pick.

A while back a friend and I would exchange concept albums based on year of release (yes, 10@10 was an influence). "Journey from Eden" was received by me as part of a 1972 disc. I will add that the same friend put "The Long And Winding Road" onto a 2000 disc.

I don't know where DC is from, but it was played a lot on KSAN back in the day.

ETA: Best bass line of set too!
