Well, '70s today and '90s tomorrow (or vice-versa) would give us one of those 5-decade weeks.
yay! '72! Stones to start -- rejoicing in 'snipeland.

Would Renee be daring and give us a rain-themed set today?

Think BP has a hand in compiling today's set?

Jerry! BOS3 / proxy of geoff, "Sugaree"
I like the song and all, but sometimes live it's not been my favorite. Kind of a relentless sound.

It falls squarely in the middle of the pack for me. Didn't dislike it, but on the other hand I don't often remember saying post-show, "Wow, that Sugaree sure tore it up tonight."

Sammy Davis Jr. visits All In The Family into The Main Ingredient "Everybody Plays The Fool"

BOS5 Main Ingedient, feat Cuba Gooding Senior

Jerry Garcia "Sugaree"

Seems to be a good 2 -3 minutes behind lately. Which I thought was due in part to my being 600 miles away, but last week when I was working down in SF (a block away from the KFOG studios) it was about the same amount of lag.

DM only played it a couple of times; not sure how much it's turned up since then. Low Rider is a far more egregious offender, but it's in 75.

Bill Withers "Use Me"
One of his mathematical songs.
e.g. when she's gone = ain't no sunshine AND amount of time gone = too long
-
OMG! another black person! VHM "Freddie's Dead", Saw Superfly on Centric recently and they bleeped the living crap out of it. (They even bleeped the N-word in the song "Pusherman" -- I mean, serously?)
-
for me, 1972 radio (KSAN) would be ABB "One Way Out" for example.

Renee blames Michael Franti for her poor execution of today's set...?

Well, she ID'd the artist of song 2, Hot Tuna, but she never mentioned the song title. So perhaps Michael F. did get her all flustered and twitterpated.

he was live in-studio in the 9:00 hour, apparently.

Renee promises a future "Soul Patrol" set based on today's voting...

I think I just heard what she meant -- the segue from the All in the Family clip into Everybody Plays the Fool with a 10@10 bumper in between was kinda sloppy.
-
Hot Tuna!
Another example of a local band getting short shrift. Only Keep On Truckin' and Water Song
have ever appeared on 10@10, and little more gets played on KFOG generally. Given their
intimate connection to Jefferson $flying_conveyence and an audience full of receptive Deadheads,
one would expect to hear a lot of them on the station.
Jerry! BOS3 / proxy of geoff, "Sugaree"
I like the song and all, but sometimes live it's not been my favorite. Kind of a relentless sound.
I would add that it's kind of LN in that it's heard quite a bit outside of 10@10.

'72 Olympics Massacre --> "Hold Your Head Up". VHM Argent. Ah, the Summer of '72.
early prog rock

Its hey-day only lasted about eight years, so I'd peg this as middle-Progrockian period.

I'm also factoring in how often I hear it elsewhere, which is a LOT.
I think there's value in a distinction between LN, which is an overall assessment, and a FF within
the context of 10@10, and this set really demonstrates that. Surprisingly, the closest thing to
a FF today is Hold Your Head Up. Just about everything else is firmly in the low-spin category,
yet the Hot Tuna, Garcia, and War tunes get a lot of play elsewhere. And once again, there are
plenty of so-called "deeper cuts" from all those artists that would have been good choices.
BOS to Stephen Stills, yet another underappreciated artist whose catalogue would make a
welcome addition to 10@10. It's sad to see a station with a history like KFOG's in a city that
was and is one of the major music centers on the planet using the Cliff Notes when it comes to
making programming choices. This was a good set from a very strong year, but with two or
three better selections it could have been great.

I do not claim to be a prog-rock expert. What do you call earlier prog-rock? King Crimson I guess.

Yep, and perhaps the Moody Blues, who kind of established the bridge between psychedelic and prog. Perhaps earlier Pink Floyd, too?

Yeah, I guess Pink Floyd. I guess I always think of prog rock as some sort of pretentious musical stuff.

I do not claim to be a prog-rock expert either, and pausing to consider questions about it
reveals that there is still much I can learn and discover. To start with, I would be hard-pressed
to give an accurate and cogent definition of the genre. Skimming through the wikipedia article
on progressive rock I found little that was truly objectionable; I agree with most of the introductory
material.
Speaking off the cuff and without looking up a bunch of release dates, I would put the rise of prog
rock starting around 1968 or so. So Pink Floyd, Keith Emerson and The Nice, Procol Harum, Jethro
Tull, The Moody Blues (Days of Future Passed) are all early examples of prog rock. 1969 and
1970 see the appearence of some of the biggest, most popular acts: Genesis, Gentle Giant, King
Crimson, ELP, ELO, and Yes. Although there are exceptions, a lot of prog rock groups as well as
interest in the style faded away in the mid-1970s -- certainly by 1976. So that's about eight years,
and why I said that Argent in 1972 is middle Progrockian.

BOS to Stephen Stills, yet another underappreciated artist whose catalogue would make a
welcome addition to 10@10.
I was just thinking I can't remember the last time I heard "Sit Yourself Down", which was actually a Top 40 hit.

The obvious hit is Love the One You're With, which has been played a handful of times. And
It Doesn't Matter has appeared once. But as with Hot Tuna and the New Riders, Stills' work
in general is exactly the kind of music that many Fogheads greatly enjoy, and he arguably has
greater name recognition. Yet another puzzling omission from the 10@10 playlist as well as
KFOG's.
And speaking of Stephen Stills:
Front and Center: The Rides
(#209H) Duration: 55:16 STEREO TVG
Stephen Stills' blues-rock "super group," whose debut album was inspired by his 1968 Super
Session album, features guitar wizard Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the Electric Flag's Barry
Goldberg at The Iridium.
