31 March '06 - it's all too beautiful: 1968

[RGMike]

down at UCSB, I was training to be a DJ, and there was this older oddball student who seemed right out of some movie, all nerdy and big WLNGish voice.  He always raved about the Beach Boys version of Cottonfields, back when the BB's were kinda passé

indeed, tho' few Americans know it, it was a #5 hit in the UK in 1970

BOS4 Jackie's "Chain Gang".

BOS for fuzztone fun

Dave's in a mood today.  I was gonna say that we shouldn't expect the Fabs because he played some at 9:48.  But here ya go, & it's "Revolution" hard on the RFK, the Hanoi radio & Nixon clips.

I know it's unseemly to complain during a '60s set, but "Baby Come Back" is pretty much a Katrina at this point.

Well, I haven't gotten into 2005, but I have wrapped up everything prior that is available on Darryl, and the Equals only showed up once among 9 sets in that sample.

Mike, can I have some of what you're smokin'?  I didn't go all the way back yet, but in the previous 5 sets dating to last May they didn't appear either.  I don't think zero appearances for 8 months & 1 appearance in the previous 4 years constitutes a Katrina.  Bring your stash to POC's party...

the looooong version (I imagine there's a single version) I hope.

Rolling Stone likened CCR's rhythm section to an old man coughing.

I dug it.

When I say "Katrina" I'm going back a long time and I know that song has been a Morey '68 staple over many years... so to ME, it' a Katrina.

Yesterday's '74 set & today's from '68 have some much good stuff between the songs, it almost doesn't matter which songs Dave plays.  Almost.

BOS #whatever to CCR, but what a great clip from the '68 Olympics about Tommy Smith & Carlos Rodgers.

now THAT was in interesting seg... from Smith & Rodgers to John Fogerty pretending to be black.

Here's your loooooong version, Geoff.  Frankly, it bores me.  Not much going on for a loooooong time.

I don't want to pick a fight, but I think more properly you might say that it was a Katrina once long ago.  There are at least a half dozen songs that we have heard 3 or more times since the last time we heard this, such as "Scottish Tea", "House That Jack Built", "America", "Do It Again", "Grazin' in the Grass"  & "Martha My Dear".

one of my all timers!

one of my all timers!

I'm with you on this one.  A nice instrumental performance that works despite the goofy "I think people are the greatest fun" lyric.

ROTFLMAO!  As Homer S. would say, "it's funny because it's true..."

BOS # whatever "Alone Again Or". is that Herb Alpert on trumpet?

No, not a lot going on.  Just kind of a nice extended simple groove.  I was in high school back then!
