KBCO, 1/3/07: 1976 redux

[RGMike]

JJ Cale's orig of "Cocaine"

"shit don't lie
shit don't lie
shit don't lie
Mondegr-aine"

followed by Slowhand hisself, "Hello Old Friend".

I like this song a lot, but isn't it interesting that 30 years ago Clapton sounded (chose to sound) gruffer and grittier than he does today?

Oh thank god. I assumed the first tune was EC, then when the second started, thought they were playing an all-Clapton set but forgot to kill the stream. Much relieved.

And BOS1, Genesis (when they were good), Squonk. (Which reminds me, I heard talk that Genesis will be reforming and touring again some time this year. Guess there's a whole generation out there just dying to hear "Land of Confusion" while sitting in a baseball stadium.)

[RGMike]

Ginger goes for Thin Lizzy's "Boys are Back..." (whereas Bob played "Jailbreak") and duplicates Bob on the Dan's "KC".

[urth]

Ginger's cribbing from Bob--first T'in Lizzy (you know that's how an Irishman would pronounce it, don'cha) doing a different song, then an encore of Kid Charlemagne from the Dan.

Burton Cummings, next, please?

Are they bringing the Spitting Image puppets with them?  If not, I'll cry a squonk's tears.

BOS Rocky trailer.  Rocky Balboa actually ain't bad.

OMG -- Southside Johnny comin' up!!

[RGMike]

BOS SSJ&TAJ, "Fever"!!

Ginger copycat JINX!

Ginger copycat JINX!

and she strikes again --'tain't no big thing.

BOS3 Ms Armatrading, "L&A".

Just got a fab JA Best-of; have to check who's doing that sax work.

[urth]

Jeez, this is getting ridiculous--four identical artists, three of whom are doing the identical songs.

BOS2, JB, Here Come Those Tears (which appears to be getting no love whatsoever in the DRV "Best in Show" poll, btw).

[RGMike]

HOLY S--T!! Copycat trifecta: "Here Come Those Tears", again!

What were the odds?

[RGMike]

I meant to say during Bob's set that Jackson B gets the Steve Miller award for

"without cryin'/friends of my-in"

[urth]

HOLY S--T!! Copycat trifecta: "Here Come Those Tears", again!

What were the odds?

Anyone care to wager whether or not we hear '76 from DM today? It's been about 4 weeks (12/5) since we last heard a new '76 set (although there was a classic on the 18th).

BOS3 Ry Cooder, Smack Dab in the Middle. Has Dave ever played this?

I can't recall DM ever playing this Cooder.  BOS for -- finally -- some originality!

I'd say a '76 trifecta is not out-of-the-question.

I missed the ID of that movie clip -- anybody?
