didn't hear the clue today.
But good news: Renee leaves on Friday for her "Intrepid Travel" World Class vacay.
oooh: 1973, always welcome and hard to screw up.

Bur good news: Renee leaves on Friday for her "Intrepid Travel" World Class vacay.
Will we get Renee "classics" or new ones from a fill-in host (e.g. Rosalie)?

Instant BOS1 Zep, "Dancin' Days"
-
TOTHK - Led Zeppelin "Dancing Days" - 1973

Fingers crossed for Rosalie. I think that is the DC model -- fill-ins rather than classics.

Electric Company theme -- always a treat. Hey you GUYYYYYYZ!
LN1: GFR. They an Amurrican Bayund.
-
Electric Company into Grand Funk Railroad "We're An American Band"

Would love it if you were right. RR's sets, for the most part, are painful enough the first time around--I think I'd have to switch to the Sound for a while if we started hearing reruns of them.

Electric Company into Grand Funk Railroad "We're An American Band"
The song that made Todd Rundgren's rep as a producer.
-
BOS2 Broooooce, "It's Saintly to Have a Hard-on in the City"
-
Bruce Springsteen "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City"
-
LN2: Outside Lands headliner Macca, "Jet"
-
Macca & Wings "Jet"
I would have picked a non-charter from Band on the Run here...
-
"Feelin' Stronger": Not my fave Chicago hit, but not exactly overexposed in this context either. Meh.
-
Chicago "Feelin' Stronger Every Day"
-
uber-uber-uber-LN3: Doobs take da Illa-Nowy Central train.
-
Doobie Brothers "Long Train Runnin'"
-
Three Dog Night "Shambala"
-
3DN's "Shambala" is kinda borderline. Borders on Tibet, I think.

Sticking damn close to the charts, iirc. I think the only song we've heard that didn't chart was the Springsteen, and that caught on later.
-
LN4: that Heartbreaker, wit' her 44s. So this song is about Raquel Welch?
-
Love that Odyssey commercial. What's that banging? Weird.
-
Rolling Stones "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)"
-
BOS3 Jimmy Cliff, despite many hearings over the years.
-
Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come"
-
Indians with wounded knees. or something. Take AIM!
good lord: "Freebird". DUUUUUUDE! uber-uber-LN5; a song I truly never need to hear again.
-
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Freebird"

And things were going so well up to this point.
Geek note: DM only played Freebird twice in the years covered by the Shraytabase, and neither was in a year-based set. One was the A-to-Z Make Good set, and the other was something called "Fogheads at 15" which sounds like a request-generated set. Actually, they both do.
-
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Freebird"
as the Clash once said: "it's fuckin' LONG, innit?"
-
Well, I'm sure there was rejoicing on FB over the Broooce, but this was a "just OK" set in my estimation. A year with a lot of deep cuts and also some great pop cheeze. And we pretty much got neither, with a couple of exceptions.
-
Per Renee: 2-way tie for BOS - Skynyrd / Cliff

I agree.
BOS Led Zep, but not overwhelmingly so. HM, Freebird (I don't mind the very very very occasional spin of Freebird, because if 10@10 is something of a historical excercise, Freebird deserves the occasional nod - as does Stairway...).

I didn't hear it live, so if this GS list needs fixin' fix it if you've got the tools, or tell me to fix it:

7. Three Dog Night - Shambala
(Commercial - Magnavox)

10. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

Bruce Springsteen "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City"
Hey, how about that? One of the Bruce songs I really like.
1973 would have been during the time my father was manager of the Freehold location of a local
drug store chain. I'll never know, but if Bruce or any of the band member ever shopped there,
then they might have spoken to him and I'd have two degrees of separation. It's certainly
possible, given they were just starting their rise to stardom at that time.

Will we get Renee "classics" or new ones from a fill-in host (e.g. Rosalie)?
Fingers crossed for Rosalie. I think that is the DC model -- fill-ins rather than classics.
If DC is indeed the evil mastermind behind the current 10@10 suckage, why would one expect
better just because Rosalie is host? I guess the answer hinges on how much control the host is
given, and whether one expects Rosalie to get more input on the content than RR.

Unfortunately, that aspect is what has cured me of wishing the Saturday morning marathon
would return. Not the cure I was hoping for, though.

[insert generic comment here about a set from an above average year that had the potential
to be pretty good but instead was just average because of too many overplayed "hits"]

Good point; if nothing else Rosalie's voice is more pleasant than RR's. ;)
