We begin with Macca's live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed", which was actually the Top 10 single the original woulda been -- had it been released as a 45.  One of the great chart injustices of all time, IMHO.

"I Look at your face every day..."

There was a discussion of this song on the NYRMB just the other day, something on the order of "every oldies station that plays '70s has it in heavy rotation, yet I don't know anybody who actually likes the damn song."

BOS Mr Seger, "Come To Papa", a lesser-heard track from this LP.

speaking of "picky picky picky"... this Pat Paulsen clip is actually from late '77.

OMG! an even better live LP: J Geils!  Give it me!

I am, but I was too busy rehearsing my paper to chime in.  (With my latest edits, it clocked in at 19 minutes!  Hooray!)

3rd live LP of set: Frampton, of course. But at least it's "Lines on My Mirror, er, Face."
