Wed 10/17/12: 1971!

Badfinger serenade their Dixie dear.

VHMs Tull; Dave Edmunds.

OMFG: uber-BOS Alice Cooper "Under My Wheels".

BOS2 Rod, "Mandolin Wind".

uber-LN: "Brown Sugar"

"I *hate* spunk!"  Oh, Mr Grant. VHM MTM.

Badfinger redux: BOS3 Nilsson -- "Without You" is an Oldies 103.7 staple but I suspect it doesn't show up in the Drive's regular rotay.

BOS4 posthumous Jimi, "Angel"

BOS5 ABB, "Statesboro Blooz" This has been a fine set -- surprisingly so.

VHM the 'oo, "Bargain". At least it's not "Won't Get Fooled"

Thur 10/18/12: 1978

uber-LN: "Baker St" to start.  Bob played "Dreadlock Holiday" last time so I guess "Thunder Island" is on tap today.

VHMs "Running w/the Devil" and  "Because the Night", tho' the latter's kinda borderline at this point.

BOSFRA AC/DC's "Gone Shootin'"

uber-LN3: the Cars.

Do you remembah Septembah in Octobah?

Cheeze for breakfast: Styx. VHM.

instant BOS Zep, "WI&WSNB"

BOS2 BS&T Aaron Copeland-izing Laura Nyro. Yee-haw!

hate to say it but: LN the J-5.

LN2 CCR

BOS3 Beatles, just "Because".

More LNs: Rare Earf and (speaking of UK release dates) Bowie.

overly-cute segue: Midnight Cowboy --> "Space Cowboy". Oy.

CSN's "Wooden Ships": meh. I'll always prefer the JA version.

Led Zeppelin - What Is And Should Never Be 
Blood, Sweat & Tears - And When I Die 
Jackson 5 - I Want You Back 
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary 
Beatles - Because 
Guess Who - The Eyes 
Rare Earth - Get Ready   
David Bowie - Space Oddity

Stroud's substitute host mispronounces Laura Nyro as NIGH-ro. Eeek.
