per RR's clue. This will be an interesting window into the mindset of the new regime. Check the ratio of underexposed gems to overplayed "classics".
also, as someone on FB pointed out, this has been a week with 2 '70s sets AND a '60s. Trend? or anomaly?
-
TOTHK - Steppenwolf "Magic Carpet Ride"
-
Oy: uber-uber-LN Steppenwolf to start, right between the sound machine. or something.
-
So far, not so good.
-
"Crimson And Clover", overplayed but I'll spot it an HM.
-
"Crimson & Clove Her" gets a pass if RR plays the looooong version.
ETA: Nope.

At first look it sounds kind of like they're trying to get back some of the older demographic that DC had no use for.
Steppenwolf and then Tommy James. We're in serious KFRC territory here, folks.
-
"Birdie num-num" BOS Peter Sellers.
VHM Fever Tree, not exactly a rarity either.
-
BOS1 Fever Tree.
-
Points for the trailer to The Party. one of Peter Sellers' underappreciated classics.
And it's the Return of the Native! AKA San Francisco Girls. Major DaveFave.
-
I love this Fever Tree song, but it's always hard to hear a RR '68 10@10. My HS graduation year (45th reunion this summer), but such a blockbuster year is usually reduced to touristy choices. Good songs, but '68 was so much more.
Love Street.
-
"Love Steet", once a rarity but AL and RR have played it a bunch of times. Better than "Hello I Love You", I guess.
VHM Ree-Ree, one of the great 2-minutes-and change 45s.
-
KFRC offering #3: Love Street
-
Aretha "Think"
-
Aretha "Think"
BOS so far.
-
Martha My Dear!
-
Aretha "Think"
To the BONE! for deepness!
BOS2 Beatles "Martha My Dear"
-
The Beatles "Martha My Dear"
-
Is this a 10@10 debut for "Martha My Dear". Thankfully not "Hey Jude".
-
Some good songs, but can't help thinking I've heard this set before.
-
And now a LN for Mike, "Mrs. Robinson"
-

Nope, DM played it a number of times.
-

Yep. "Mrs. Robinson".... bold choice ::)

One more from the KFRC rotation.

"every way you look at it, you lose"
Oy vey, was this one unnecessary.
VHM the Heidi Bowl.
BOS3 Otis.
-
The Otis tune is perhaps the least overplayed so far.

Easily. I was thinking bustout, but Dave played it once in '06. I'll take it. BOS.

It's NTM. BOS for the Big O.

and continuing the theme of the Gray Line bus through the Haight:
"Timothy Leary's Dead"
-
Timothy Leary's dead. And so is the hope of hearing genuine rarities on 10@10.
VHM and proxy of shray, Moodies.

I wonder what Timothy Leary thought of this song when it came out, being not dead and all.

He probably thought it was groovy. Or, perhaps, far out.

Probably "I'll have to change that". Took him 28 years.

Continuing our trip through the Haight, Big Brother's "Summertime"
I'm OK with hearing this.

-
"Summertime" is certainly better than "Piece of My heart" (which played over the closing credits of Mad Men Sunday nite). BOS4
-
"And over on your right, the house where the notorious Grateful Dead Hippie Band lives!"

We moved to the Bay Area in '66. Some time after (spring of 67, I would guess), Dad packed us all in the old Station Wagon and took us on a tour of the more interesting neighborhoods in the area. When we got to the Haight, we were instructed to "roll up the windows and lock the doors". What I remember best were the mini-skirts -- and I was only 8.
-
BOS, Janis. Most of her stuff I don't really ever need to hear again, but I never tire of "Summertime".
-
Sorry, but on the backsell, she should at least acknowledge it was Big Brother and the Holding Company.
-
Renee sez The Moodies beat Janis/Big Brother and the Holding Company, Aretha and TJ/Shondells for BOS by one vote.

Is it me, or does it seem like quite often the BOS winner (according to RR), is one of the last couple of songs in the set? If so, I suspect something funny is going on.

"Crimson And Clover", overplayed but I'll spot it an HM.
I've always associated this song with 1969, which is when I heard it a lot. DM & AL both
played it in one of their 1969 sets.
-
but such a blockbuster year is usually reduced to touristy choices. Good songs, but '68 was so much
more.
"Touristy choices" indeed. Great phrase, and it really encapsulates so much of what is lacking
in 10@10 sets these days. Yes, it's damn hard to go wrong in such a stellar year like 1968,
but there is so much untapped potential that in a way it's sad. I did really enjoy hearing most
of these songs again. I found it interesting that, even though I did not discover some of these
songs until years later, I had strong memories associated with each of the times I first started
listening to them. In particular, thinking about Summertime was almost enough to induce
a flashback. (grin) I can't believe some of the things I did back then.

Without verifying it, the trend that I think I've seen is that BOS seems to go to one of the most
overplayed and LN-y songs of the set. I used to vote for BOS occasionally when AL played
something that really moved me. I haven't been so moved in over a year.

certainly not true Thursday. (the overplayed LN part!)

Well, I did say trend as opposed to a "rule," for example, "any song by the Grateful Dead or a
member thereof will most likely win BOS."
