5 September 2007--it's going to be 1975
« Reply #1 on: September 04, 2007, 03:35:42 PM »
Here are some 1975 tunes that Dave has played, but only rarely, that I hope he plays again someday:

Art Garfunkel - Breakaway
Amazing Rhythm Aces - Third Rate Romance
Bob Marley - Trench Town Rock
Grateful Dead - Franklin's Tower
Jacksons - I Am Love
Jefferson Starship - Fastbuck Freddie
Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Paul Simon - Have a Good Time  
Ramsey Lewis with Earth, Wind & Fire - Sun Goddess
Styx - Light Up
Tubes - White Punks on Dope

...and here are some that I hope Dave plays someday, which cracked the Top 40, but have not cracked my Db:  

Alice Cooper - Only Women Bleed
BTO - Roll On Down the Highway
Charlie Daniels Band - The South's Gonna Do It
Chicago - Harry Truman
Janis Ian - At Seventeen
Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust
John Denver - Calypso
Marshall Tucker Band - Fire on the Mountain
Neil Sedaka - The Immigrant
Outlaws - There Goes Another Love Song
Paul McCartney & Wings - Letting Go
Rhythm Heritage - Theme from "S.W.A.T."

ETA: added the Outlaws, realizing this was a banner year for Southern Rock.

those are all fab choices -- I can't believe "Only Women Bleed" isn't a  Morey fave. Ditto the Sedaka, it's the loveliest and most heartfelt of his '70s singles.

But I'm sure that (pre-shraytabase) Dave's played the BTO, Chicago, Janis Ian and "S.W.A.T."  at least once each.  Mr. Denver, alas, is in Dave's category of "I'm afraid to play ________, people will call up and yell at me" (along with Manilow, and any Carpenters' song besides "Goodbye to Love").

Attempting to plant a few seeds, Mr Shray? Good for you--hope some of them take root.

I seem to remember Dave playing John Denver's Thank God I'm a Country Boy (once) and if he could play that, he can play Calypso.

Figured as much myself, especially the latter two.  And I'm quite certain Bob had played the former two since I've been listening to the Drive.

Any of what's been posted in this thread would be a treat for me.  Especially "Calypso," which I don't believe I've ever heard.  (If I did, it was in '75.)

I'll predict that we are indeed due for "Fast Buck Freddie."  And I'll bet on some Ohio Players, "Fire," or else KC (was "Boogie Man" in '75?).

Nobody cares how you wear your hair, dahling!

Sadly I'll be at a 10:00 meeting...

early BOS Manhattan Transfer, one of the songs that Dave has played somewhat more than rarely that I was hoping for when I was reviewing things yesterday.

Tramps like Katrina were born to run.  This set is less than I'd hoped for so far.

World Turning is even less rare, as is Born To Run. Both great songs, but nowhere close to the rarities you were hoping for. Still, out of 10 songs, I think the best you could hope for is one or two of those, so we still have plenty of opportunity.

Actually "WT" was a Db bustout when we heard it two '75 sets ago, it's just not at all a rarity in terms of general radio listening.  And like I said, we heard it the set before last, in late June.

ETA: almost the same for 10CC.  "Blackmail" is the Katrina, and although Dave hasn't played "I'm Not In Love" for over 2 yrs, you hear it all the time on the radio anyway.

10cc's succulent I'm Not In Love--the impeccable production makes me glad to have a decent pair of cans here at work for this one. Still not hitting high on the rarity scale, but barring anything better this will likely be my BOS vote.

I'm enjoying this instrumental, but blanking on it.  The Dregs?

Todd's Initiation, here's the popular BOS winner. And like most of the rest of the set, we've heard it a time or two.
