I wouldn't have guessed, but we've only heard this Dramatics cut once before--also 2004--that set also had the Carole King, HJF&R, and Lee Michaels tunes.

Bah, I felt like I shot my wad early w/ my BOS to Carole King when I heard "What You Want"...

OTOH, as you say, it was so nice hearing something from Tapestry.  That was such a nice thing to discover in my parents' record collection.  Which reminds me -- I need to steal the record player and the record back from them.  :-}

As we've said before, given that Tapestry is one of the biggest-selling LPs of all time., it's odd how few tracks Dave has played -- in fact Ms King tends to get short shrift from Dave all around. We've never heard anything from Music, "Jazzman" shows up occasionally... and that's pretty much it.  Her cover of "One Fine Day" would brighten a  dreary early-'80s set.

Another high-quality bonus from Annalisa and the foghead: pre-Ziggy Bowie, Life on Mars.

Woo Hoo! Bonus: Bowie, "Life on Mars"!!!  Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow!

Am I the only one who's heard Streisand's cover of this?

Not sure, but I'd bet that double entendre was intentional.

Reminds me of the Firesign Theatre LP with "Marx and Lennon" (Groucho and John) on the cover.

My favorite Goffin/King song is "Goin' Back" from Notorious Byrd Brothers.  Totally awesome, and I don't know if Dave's ever played anything from that album.

Dusty Springfield's cover of "Goin' back" is sublime, and Ms King has recorded it more than once, iirc (once with The City and once solo? or am I confused?)

I slept in this morning, and apparently Dave has (for once) saved the best 2 sets for last: '71 followed by '79.
