Title: 6 Nov 2013: it's... 1974
Post by: RGMike on November 06, 2013, 09:37:59 AM
we're overdue for a '60s set. Which means we'll probably get 2002.

Already LN -- Iggles with a TOTHK.

At least it's not an Iggles tune I actively dislike.

I mistook it for "Already Gone" at first. "James Dean" is less overplayed than that one.

BOS2 and proxy of Geoff: rare Dead, "Unbroken Chain". I was just beginning to lose interest in them at that point but this is rather nice, if a tad snoozy following the L&M.

If Renee plays the 22-minute album cut, I'm ok with it (since the album was released in November of '74).

I really don't need 22 minutes of this.  It's interesting, but in small doses (personally).

Grateful Dead "Unbroken Chain"

Wow, another nearly 7-minute track!

Phil sings!  A bust-out and a big BOS from me.  I am surprised that the KFOG deadheads didn't
catapult this into the number one spot with a bullet.  Not only that, they went for a pedestrian
McCartney effort.  (shrug)

With the early appearence of three consecutive, interesting bust-outs, I thought this set might
be going places, but it deteriorated quickly into the mediocre and least necessary.

I also realized I haven't thought much of McCartney's solo career.  His first album was brilliant.
Ram was excellent.  And after that, I never bought another album.  There is a song here or
there that I really like, but most of it is just okay.  It is very much middle-of-the-road rock/pop.

He and John Lennon were like two horses that pulled in different directions, but when you harness
them together you could get good work from the pair.

Conversely, I was quite down on Ram at the time but have come to really like it. I certainly agree that most of his hit singles were quite disposable or worse, but I think you're missing the boat on "Junior's Farm" -- a cryptic (nearly Dylanesque, some said) lyric wedded to a hooky melody, tight instrumentation and great production. My fave 45 of his, certainly.

Ah.  The lyric sites are wrong, and I suspect they poach content from each other, so the error
is propagated.

Ram was certainly different.  I still remember the first time I heard "Uncle Albert/Admiral
Halsey."  I took to it right away, though I can see how not everyone would.

Despite all the qualities you list, I find that "Junior's Farm" neither transforms nor transcends its
genre, and is just another good rock/pop song.  It is further handicapped by the fact that most
of the material from the Band on the Run period has been flogged to death.  It hasn't held up
that well for me.
