Despite what Dave said about voter turnout (and a pox on any Foghead who votes for CH for the next calendar year!), you can tell from his lackluster back-announce that he wasn't into it.


Turns out he was coming down with the flu.  A "Classic" from '75 today.  

OK, I'll stick around for this one, but I might "multitask" and check out KINK too.

If the next song is Ace "How Long" then this is a repeat of a really good set from '03.  If not then it's new to the Db.

a fine set indeed, I'll catch up with it tonite.

BTW, KINK's "Top Ten Tuesday" indeed turns out to be a weekly theme set. Today: oh ho ho it's "Magic", first by Pilot, now the Cars. Gee, can ya guess what else is in store?

And Dave (or anybody else) NEVER plays the great follow-up LP, Somewhere I've Never Travelled, featuring "Dance With Me George".

Don't know how their albums sold, but it seems to me they were fairly popular as a live act--I recall them playing theaters (2,000 to 3,000 seaters), which at that time made them a mid-level act, more or less. (Remember, in '75 even the Stones were still playing arenas, and stadium rock was just getting some traction.)
Let's get right to it.

btw, this is a setlist that I got from Urth, not from Darryl.  Which is to say that one could probably get a copy of this from him.  I plan to ask, if only to get the clip of Don Pardo goin' "Turn this one up Dave, Big Don likes this one Loud!"

i suppose it's the lack of everlasting that concerns me.
