Title: 3 Oct 2013: it's... 1972
Post by: RGMike on October 03, 2013, 07:59:30 AM
Renee's clue: "Mikey Likes it"  -- I actually looked this up recently because I wanted to use it in my novel; I remembered it as being earlier but that first commercial aired in 1972, per Wiki.

Of course, with Renee, that gives us a 5-year window on either side...

Doobs be rockin' down da highway, yo.  Well, this beats "Listen to the Music" anyway. VHM.

Well, at least we get mowed down by a "Drive By" as a lead-in.

Pleasant enough so far, but hoping for something to fire me up a bit.  VHM, ABB, but a little low key for me this morning.  First time this week I've had time to actively listen.  Work's been nuts.

I'll BOS this. I don't have specific recollections of hearing this at the time (I was 3), but it was evoking something warm inside me, so I'm thinking it was in the air around me then.

Their last Top Ten'er -- "Someday Never Comes" would follow it into the Top 40 and that was all she wrote.

When Michael McDonald came aboard, were there any other changes to the Doobies besides at lead singer? I think I'm a Tom Johnston fan.

uber-BOS4 Todd "Couldn't I Just Tell You", one of the truly great shouldabeens of all time. What a fabulous 45. It peaked at  #93 (!). For shame, America.

Todd Rundgren, "Couldn't I Just Tell You?"

Great song, this will probably be my official BOS vote.

'72 too soon for power pop; just ask Jody Stephens (lone surviving member of Big Star).

Brady Kids cartoon theme.

uber-uber-BOS5 3DN's fantabulous "Black & White", their finest hour. Damn, 3 chapters of my book just wrote themselves. Thanks, Renee!

Jerry Garcia "The Wheel"

This is a good one, for sure. I also like the guitar solos he recorded for the movie, Zabriskie Point, which has a great soundtrack overall.

I don't think '72 when I hear this.  I guess it's because the material was developed in '71.  Loser and Sugaree were both played live in '71, and it has that feel.

Seeing ABB at BCT in '72 (after Duane died, before Berry died) was one of the hottest shows I'd ever seen.

Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin"

BOS from me and this is a bust-out.  I haven't heard it in a while, so it's a pleasant surprise.
Title: Re: 3 Oct 2013: it's... 1972
Post by: dischead on October 03, 2013, 11:36:43 PM
BTW Three Dog Night  was also a bust-out.

A satisfactory outing, a bit on the pop-y side... but 1972 was better than this, and so could have been this set.
