And it turns out to be just what Gaz heard: a "mystery year" set. 1970? 71? Can't complain about leading off with Neil's "When You Dance I Can Really Love." Is this from After the Goldrush


this should be 1970, unless this was a single in early '71.


It peaked at #93 in 1971 apparently.

Neil ain't no HFH.  What did Dave say?  I missed it.

Major bummer....  I was really pumped up for HFH   :cry:

Oh, and I think all that he said was that this was a "year of mystery".

BOS: Joni Mitchell (one of my favorite songs of all time).

No HFH, but a pretty great year anyway, so far...

I was looking at the "Band of Gold" lyrics over on our Brazilian top 40 site, and thought it was amazing, just in the 'C' section, how many great songs there were this year (so I just had to share):

Call Me - Aretha Franklin   (#13)
Can't Stop Loving You - Tom Jones   (#25)
Candida - Dawn   (#3)
Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel   (#4)
Celebrate - Three Dog Night   (#15)
Check Out Your Mind - The Impressions   (#28)
Closer to Home - Grand Funk Railroad   (#22)
Come And Get It - Badfinger   (#7)
Come Running - Van Morrison   (#39)
Come Saturday Morning - The Sandpipers   (#17)
Cracklin' Rosie - Neil Diamond   (#1)
Cry Me A River - Joe Cocker   (#11)

VHM Elton, still wish Dave would play Where To Now, St. Peter? more often? (I think we have heard it once.)

(Btw, I took the liberty of correcting the date in the subject line for the thread.)

Amazing that it only got to #3 -- it was #1 locally in NYC for a month.  I'll have to get out my charts tonite to see what kept it out of the top slot.

BOS EJ, "Take Me to The Pilot"

I always thought "thru a glass eye, your throne is the one danger zone" was "thru a glass eye you're thrown".

BOS for Elton.  No idea what this song is about, but it rocks.  And I sang it in a one-off band for a company party at Acuson many years ago.  We were celebrating the pilot manufacturing run for the Sequoia ultrasound machine.  Good times.  (I have a feeling I've made this same post before, more or less.  Except I didn't put this part in the first time.)

BOS2: Traffic
It's funny how songs can just take you back in time (I remember bringing this album on a cassette tape on a family vacation to Baja California way back when, and then playing Glad over and over and over...)

hey either SF Guy or Urth needs to edit the topic heading, which currently reads 1971.

Except for Monday's '88 set, every other "classic" year this week arrived exactly 3 weeks after its previous appearance.  (You have to go back to late Aug for 1988.)
