"The year Brando snubbed the Oscars", which technically happened in April '73, but they were the Oscars for 1972 so could go either way, in the Renee universe.
Mr Walsh gives Steve Miller a riff to rip off a few years later. "Rocky Mtn Way" is an LN for me.
What *is* the Rocky Mountain way? Does it involve John Denver?

TOTHK - Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way"

TOTHK - Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way"
I'm down with RMW.

Mott The Hoople "All The Way From Memphis"
-
BOS1 Mott, "All the Way From Memphis". Some spade said "rock-n-rollers -- you're all the same" (!)
-
Elton John "Elderberry Wine"
ETA: Renee and company are making a concerted effort to play deeper cuts, it seems.
-
BOS2 EJ, "Elderberry Wine", nice to hear one of the non-singles from this LP.
-
Mott The Hoople "All The Way From Memphis"
and all these years I heard "All the Way TO Memphis!"

I'll BOS that one too for its saxy goodness.

Feats don't fail me now! BOS3 "Dixie Chicken"

Oh my yes! One of my all-time faves. Played this at my wedding.

Nixon/Watergate into Aerosmith "Dream On"

uber-uber-LN: "Dream On", in one of several years in which it is "legal"
still, a great mondegreen: "Half my life's in Vogue's hidden pages"

Seems like a lot of echo in this one. Is it an alternate version?

Well, it's better than the way we had.
Or is it? In recent years, Colorado is best known for mass shootings and libertarianism, such as legalizing pot and all of its representatives voting for the Amash amendment to curtail the NSA's collection of telephone metadata.

ripped from the headlines: Bille Jean King on Sonny & Cher --> "Ain't No Woman Like the One-Eyed Gott"

Sonny & Cher on Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs into Four Tops "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)"
-
Sonny & Cher on Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs into Four Tops "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)"
FWIW, there was '90's rap song based on this one: "Ain't no n***a like the one I got, no one can f**k you better."
ETA: It was Jay-Z's third single. I had thought it was somebody a lot more fly by night than that.
-
Steve Miller Band "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash"
-
Speak Steve Miller's name and he shall appear! BOS4 "Yo' Cash Ain't Nuthin' But Trash"
-
Dr. John "Such A Night"

BOS5 -- a nice rarity. I wasn't in the mood for brain salad surgery from the good doctor but this is swell.

I take it that was when he was still on the down-low? ;)

Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come"

Jimmy Cliff is a bit too LN for me, but pleasant nonetheless.

Better than pleasant, in my book

I meant back before Beyonce, when the rumors about him were rampant. Not that the rumors went away, exactly.

John Lennon promotes Tower Records into John Lennon "Mind Games"

BOS6 John's "Mind Games". Whenever I hear this, it's the fall of '73 and I'm suddenly driving across the Whitestone Bridge.
-
John Lennon promotes Tower Records into John Lennon "Mind Games"
An odd clip, I think, since the commercial wasn't even slightly humorous. Not really worthy of John.

I assume it was one of those spur-of-the-moment, he was in the studio at KLOS or KMET plugging his LP and they said "hey John -- for a lark, read this live commercial!"

Renee: BOS John Lennon; VHM Elton John and Steve Miller Band
-
What a blah set for me. A very high LNQ in my opinion, and the rarities from Steve Miller and
Dr. John did nothing for me either. 1973 is on the downward slope from the '69-'71 plateau,
but it could be much better than this collection.

I agree. Except for Mott, nothing grabbed me. The presence of Dream On kinda sullied the set, too. I think it was my personal mood that affected my enjoyment. I could not compartmentalize yesterday and, really, nothing sounded good all day long.

Well, I freely admit it helps to have been in high school at the time. So I probably graded on a curve today. Some of my '73 wish-list of songs I never got AL to play:
Misstra Know-it-all (Stevie W)
And I Love You So (Perry Como)
Night the Lights went out in Georgia (Vicki L)
Wild in the Streets (Garland Jeffreys)
Pretty lady (Lighthouse)
Give Me Your Money Please (BTO)
Across 110th St (Bobby Womack)
Dirty Love (Zappa)
Sylvia (Focus)
Superfly Meets Shaft (Jon & Ernest)
Free Electric Band (Albert Hammond)

on any given day, your mood, your triggered memories, the weather, etc, all might affect how a set sounds to you and any reaction is valid. This set might sound fantabulous on another day when I wasn't being so rushed & harried, and if that happened I'd come up with something genius, like "Aw yah, good set!" ... and that's perfectly fine. We're talking about pop music here, not brain salad surgery. can't wait to read your book... :)

Well that's one copy sold!
I have a line in it about the two protagonists "listening to Dr John sing about 'brain salad surgery', not realizing they were performing it."

Ah, so it's not just me. I had a rough start yesterday morning, and there's no question that
influenced my response to the show. I try to be "objectively subjective," so while on a better
day I might have enjoyed a couple of the songs a bit more, I still think it wasn't that great
a set.
Today hasn't been much better. My stress levels are through the roof, and I have no relief
in sight. This morning's 10@10 just went in one ear and out the other. I'll probably skip
the replay and try going to sleep early. Morpheus offers the only respite, albeit temporary.

'73 from the KSAN playlist would be cool.

Hmmm.... I would have sworn that AL played this... I have a vague memory of hearing
it on 10@10. It doesn't appear in any year, but I still can't shake the feeling of having
heard it, the whole "the poodle bites (come on Frenchy)" etc. Strange... maybe she
played it some other time.
