I know it's unseemly to complain during a '60s set, but "Baby Come Back" is pretty much a Katrina at this point.
Well, I haven't gotten into 2005, but I have wrapped up everything prior that is available on Darryl, and the Equals only showed up once among 9 sets in that sample.
Mike, can I have some of what you're smokin'? I didn't go all the way back yet, but in the previous 5 sets dating to last May they didn't appear either. I don't think zero appearances for 8 months & 1 appearance in the previous 4 years constitutes a Katrina. Bring your stash to POC's party...
When I say "Katrina" I'm going back a long time and I know that song has been a Morey '68 staple over many years... so to ME, it' a Katrina.
Not trying to fan any flames here, but in my mind it seems like we've heard it a lot too. However, I freely admit that that could be because I've heard it when playing recordings of some sets. That said, I checked my archive and of the 15 1968 sets I have recorded (which is far from comprehensive--I'm sure I missed others), I found "Baby Come Back" in three of them dating back to 2002: 2/22/2002, 7/22/2002, and 3/12/2004, and in all three it was the TOTHC. Those first two occurrences are close enough together to put a song close to Katrina status--if there were one other appearance a a few months before or after those, I'd say it would have qualified.
As I was scanning setlists, I also noticed Grazin' In the Grass came up quite often, as did most of the others Mark cited (didn't notice America or House that Jack built as much).
On the other hand, I am also of the belief that a song can be un-Katrinafied, over time. The original Katrina is probably qualifies in that category, as I don't think I've heard it more than once or twice in the last two to three years.
Btw, I liked today's set in general--some great segues (the one that preceded Say a Little Prayer in particular) and for the record, I dug hearing the long version of Susie Q too.
My BOS would have been either the Small Faces tune (a nice switch from Tin Soldier, which has appeared more than you'd guess) or Alone Again Or.
