The Drive, 10/10/08: 1972

[mshray]

It occurs to me that today is 10/10, when KFOG in years past would do "10 10@10s for 10/10". Not today, I guess.

Just parked the car as Dave was saying that today's set looks to be "a really good set."

[Tinka Cat]

I assumed this Allman Bros cut "One Way Out" was from their Fillmore East live album when I first heard it.  I guess I don't really know Eat a Peach that much -- or Fillmore East for that matter, even though I  own the Fillmore East CD!

I bought it b/c I went through phase where I was really into live recordings. 

so I ask you: What's your favorite live recording?

(ETA: this subject has prob come up in another thread, so I'll chk around when given time.  Or maybe I'll repost this question in a more appropriate forum discussion.)

He was doing his "Top 40 jock" voice this morning and cracking everyone up, and he just-so-happened to have audio handy of an Armed Forces Radio guy doing a similar voice... I'm guessing that era may be in store.

no fluff, as usual.   

Tinka, did you or anyone else see Nick & Nora (besides Mike)?  I saw it on a long lunch hour Wed, and later that same night, when my 6 yr old asked me to read him a story, he insisted I read it to him and 'Fluffy'.  So I actually had to utter the words: "Where's Fluffy?"

Turns out 'Fluffy' was a rolled up blanket that he had put in bed with him...and he has never had a 'blanky' before.

TANC.

My #1 is Waiting For Columbus, no hesitation.  Filling out a top 5 or top 10 takes more neurons.

I was confused by one thing: near the end, the radio DJ gives a clue that indicates Fluffy are on 68th Street, but when they arrive at the concert, they're looking up at the Empire State Building... which would be impossible.  Did I miss something?

I realize I can't commit to one favorite right now (Roxy Music's "Viva" would be on some sort of list, for sure), so I'll have to take some time for this one...

haven't seen it yet...   "fluffy" just came out of the fuzziness of my morning head.

it's a good but not great flick, very enjoyable if you liked any combination of Superbad, Juno, After Hours, or Go.  And the answer to the question "Where's Fluffy" is a major plot device in the film.

I'd actually go with Love, The Forever Changes Concert, which came out about 5 years ago.  Arthur Lee and his then backing band doing the whole album in sequence.

[RGMike]

almost forgot:

War - The Cisco Kid 
Moody Blues - I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band 
Carly Simon - You're So Vain 
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick 
Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around with Jim 
Rolling Stones - Happy 
Elton John - Rocket Man 
Todd Rundgren - I Saw the Light 
Spinners - I'll Be Around 
Allman Brothers - One Way Out
