15 March 2013: it's... 1970

Renee sez GFR gets BOS, VHM to the Dead and The Temptations

[Lightnin' Rod]

BOS3 "Only You Know & I Know".

Great song. I really like Dave Mason of this era.

My BOS.  Alone Together is a terrific album, and that's pretty much Dave "of this era".  He'd never repeat the magic of this album, though he had solid moments here and there.

1. Ides of March - Vehicle
(Commercial - Doublemint)
2. Freda Payne - Band of Gold
3. The Byrds - Chestnut Mare
4. Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane
(TV: Jerry Rubin on Donahue)
5. The Temptations - Ball of Confusion
6. The Grateful Dead - Truckin'
7. Dave Mason - Only You Know And I Know
(anti-drug PSA: Don McLean "What do you do when the music stops?")
8. Charles Wright - Express Yourself
9. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Long As I Can See The Light
10. Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain / Closer To Home

I'm gobsmacked by the appearance of "Chestnut Mare" -- I think it showed up on Ginger's late lamented KBCO 10@10 once, and maybe the Peak, but never on KFOG's. DC musta had it on a list. Maybe someone suggested it on his Friday night all-request thing.

Great album.  How many of you have the multi-colored vinyl version?

Proxy BOS for Geoff: "Truckin"

Wouldn't have been my BOS.  This is pretty LN in my world.  Not a bad song mind you, just way overplayed by people that don't get it.

OMFG: "Chestnut Mare" -- amazingly, I don't think this has ever appeared on 10@10. BOS, easily.

a record that was an absolute staple of NYC prog-FM back then, and i always wondered why Dave never played it. better late than never.

BOS2 the orig "Sweet Jane"

This would probably have been BOS for me.  I'm thinking it has been played on 10@10, but I'm guessing the entropy of the situation has put the Shraytabase way out of sync.
