This is a refreshing 76 set.

I gotta say, I agree. Wild Cherry was the closest thing to a katrina, and I think it's been redeemed for the time being.

Anyone spotted the vinyl? I'm thinking it ain't happened yet.

VHM Steve Miller, "The Window", one of the few non-Katrinas from that LP.


he recycles the melody line from "wintertime" (the "hear me calling, hear me calling, hear me ca-a-aa-ling" part) at the beginning of "the window." but, i'm not sure which song came first.


"Window" came first; "Wintertine" is on Book of Dreams.

Whoa!?!?! Who's this doing the cover of FM/Bob Welch's "Silverheels"? I gotta say I like the original better, but this is likely the vinyl, and def. a bustout.

I'd call Ms Nightengale a Katrina or pretty close to one, but I'm not complaining... exactly.

It's actually very hard to say, because as I believe I mentioned once long ago*, all the tracks for both albums were recorded at the same time & some thought was givien to releasing it as a double album.

*at that time I posited that this might have been the, or at least one of the, greatest studio double albums of all time, rivaling Elton, the Beatles & Stevie in terms of sales & chart success.

Well, here's my BOS--I believe this is Jethro Tull? Locomotive Breath?

ETA: Well, the bit before the swine flu clip was Locomotive Breath, but now we're hearing Too Old to Rock & Roll. Great song, but the rest of the album is kind of ehhh.

(Locomotive breath wasn't 76 anyway, so I was wondering about that.)

It sure was, but that's hardly the right track for a '76 set!  Ahhhh, Dave with the quick save!

what an amazingly prescient screenplay that was.

So, swine flu vaccine gives you locomotive breath? Oh wait, it's a different Tull.

That was weird, because that WAS the intro to Locomotive Breath (or at least, I think it was), which would have been the wrong year.  Dave's f*ckin' with us.
