24 July 2017: it's... 1974

7/24:

On today’s edition of Soundwaves 10@10, we’ll hear John Lennon’s only US #1 solo single,
Eric Clapton’s cover of a Bob Marley classic, and the guitarist who almost joined a band with
Charles Manson.

Eric Clapton’s cover of a Bob Marley classic

No, really?  (rolls eyes)  And "Sweet Home Ala-bummer" TOO??  Good gawd.

Oh, and the setlist ID's "Sweet Jane" as being the Velvet Underground. Sheesh.

The set was did not warrant a listen, imo, so I was wondering if we were to hear the original "Sweet Jane" in the wrong year, or if it was the Lou Reed, Rock and Roll Animal version in the right year.  I assumed the latter.  But I wasn't going to sit through "The Loco-Motion" or "Hooked on a Feeling" to find out.  At least the second half of the set is somewhat listenable, if not very necessary.

It was indeed the Lou Reed live version. Setlist also credits "Whatever Gets you thru the Nite" to Elton John (tho' he does play backup). He also played the "Mr Microphone" TV commercial clip in the wrong year (it's from '78 or '79 at the earliest, iirc) for the second time. Somebody had a bad Monday!

Not only did the setlist attribute Sweet Jane to the Velvets, but that's what DW said in the backsell. Major fail.

And he said that the Marley version of "I Shot the Sheriff" was from the 60s. No.
And it's not pronounced "Blue Suede", is it? I was shocked by the number of errors. Not mentioning that "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" was essentially a duet with Elton John seemed like a big error too, especially since he was making a big deal out of how it was his only solo #1 (and it was followed by another duet).
