Early predictions:

(wildcard) Bill Deal & the Rondells, "May I"
(surething) Diana et al, "Someday We'll Be Together"
(hopeful) anything from Donovan (dare I hope for "Atlantis"?)
(doubtful but desired) Mercy, "Love Can Make You Happy"

If your Diana prediction is correct (and I'm betting it is) that could make it the #1 Katrina of all time.

Been meaning to mention, he's booked into Slim's in April. Tix on sale Sunday. Not sure what to expect. Could be good, could be not.

Who? Donovan? or Bill Deal?

BTW, urth, you lucked out -- my record keeping is spotty, but in answer to your email,  on Jan 30th 2004 we visited 1970.

VHM to Mr. Dacres talkin' bout the Lost Tribe.

WOS (surprise!) to "Hot Smoke & Sasafrass."  Mike, I have no idea what you see in this song.  Seriously.

Neither. Desmond Dekker & the Aces.

Really.

And thanks for filling in my missing data. I'll try to post my recap later today, but we're short-handed here so it may have to wait til the weekend.

The Elvis cover of this is sweet, too. It's featured in that movie of one of his Vegas concerts. Elvis forgets the lyrics halfway through and simply walks to the back of the stage (still in full view of the audience), pulls out his notes (a folded piece of paper), reads it over for a few secs and then jumps back into the song.

That's his real name, Desmond Dacres.  I guess they felt "Dekker" would be easier to pronounce for the non-French.

And gee, how long til POC gives BOS to "Compared to What?"

Not very, I'm thinking. This is the version she likes too, Les McCann (as opposed to Brian Auger.)

so, you know, this is my favorite song of all time!

this concert was filmed, as well as recorded. in the film, ellafitz walks in about halfway through this song. the camerman pans from the stage to capture her entrance. she waves at the band, and sits down. at the end of the song, les introduces ella to the audience. everyone starts clapping. ella stands up, and say, 'please forgive me for being so late!'

now THAT's class.

I thought I remembered reading that this is one of those songs written with him in mind that he originally turned down... and then began covering in concert after it was a hit for somebody else.  There's another that's on the tip o' me tongue...

Yeah, it's all that and more.  One of my favorite Beatles tunes.  When I was young me and my buddies used to sing it around the campfire.  There may have been drugs and alchohol involed.

HM to Booker T & the MGs' "Time Is Tight," though I far prefer "Hang 'Em High."  There's just not enough tension on this one, not enough resolution, just kinda loops around itself -- the same criticism I have of the Crusaders' instrumental I forget the title to.

Urgh.  I dislike "Sex Machine" almost as much as the Airplane's "Spare Chaynge."  Long rock instrumentals almost always bore me.  It's the only sour spot for me on the whole Stand! album.
