The Drive, week of 7/9/12
« on: July 09, 2012, 08:01:41 AM »
Mon 7/9/12: Piano Pleasures!

Tickle mah ivories, baby.

Starting wiith "Year of the cat". Nice.  VHM and another VHM for "Cold As Ice", which might be LN in a '77 set but works here.

BOS1 BJ's "Piano Man". Wasn't this also in the "Harmonica" set recently?

EJ's "Your Song" is one I never need hear again. Ditto "Let it Be" and Hornsby's "Way it Is"

Goodness gracious, BOS2 Jerry Lee Lewis. He's the Killer -- literally, if you believe the stories.

BOS3 Leon -- he's getting LAAAAARGER! And Supertramp are bloody well right.

Imagine there's no 'Trinas...

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat 
Foreigner - Cold As Ice   
Billy Joel - Piano Man   
Beatles - Let It Be 
Elton John - Your Song 
Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire 
Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is 
Leon Russell - A Song For You 
Supertramp - Bloody Well Right 
John Lennon - Imagine 

FWIW, the Sound (unsurprisingly) did a Piano set last week:

Quote
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
Moondance - Van Morrison
Good Golly Miss Molly - Little Richard
Piano Man - Billy Joel
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
Desperado - Eagles
Layla - Derek & The Dominos
The Way it Is - Bruce Hornsby
Home at Last - Steely Dan
Backstreets - Bruce Springsteen

Wed 7/11/12: 1982

WOS Scorpions to start.  I feel an AOR crapfest coming on.

WOS2 Phil Collins. We don't care anymore either, bub.

The Money Man thinks he's in love. Think again, pal.

LN1: APP in the sky.

PG shocks his, er, monkey.

BOS "Somebody's Baby"

WOS3 Starship's completely generic "Can't Find Love".

She's a girl! But "Athena" was a bomb. And not "da bomb", either. Seriously WTF does this mean:

there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You got me requisitioned, blondie!

LN2: Men at Work

WOS4 CSN "Southern Cross". Sorry, never liked this one.

Scorpions - No One Like You 
Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore 
Eddie Money - Think I'm In Love 
Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky   
Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey   
Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby 
Jefferson Starship - Can't Find Love 
Who - Athena 
Men At Work - Who Can It Be Now?   
Crosby, Stills & Nash - Southern Cross

Fri 7/13/12: 1979

expecting a Sniff'n'the Tears sighting.

LN: that great communist rock group, the Pinko Floyds.

HM live Cheap Trick, only 'cause it's "Surrender" and not "IWYTWM".

Even the Petty gets VHM sometimes.

eeek: CDB go down to GA.

On the one hand, Styx's "Cornerstone" is a relative rarity. OTOH... it's awful. WOS1.

a more-welcome, only-on-The Drive rarity: "Stay in Time," Off-Broadway USA. BOS1.

ARS get spooky on Friday the 13th. Heh.

ZZT look good in cheap shades. VHM.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! standing in for Rush: Triumph, "Hold On". WOS2.

WOS3: Journey. Just the same way you blorf me.
