4 April 2008: a delayed MLK set? Nope, 1970
« on: April 03, 2008, 02:09:02 PM »
I just realized 4/4 is the 40th anniv of MLK's assassination. We did not get the traditional MLK set in Jan. Do you suppose...?

around 8 Dave gave a rundown of the rest of the morning (they'd just wrapped Gavin's semi-regular appearance) and he said that we were going to get "a fantastic set for 10 at 10 today".  But he didn't tip it.

Hrm. If we had not already gotten '69 on Monday, a '68 set heavy on MLK clips would've been a sure bet. maybe he'll do it anyway -- a date-specific '68 perhaps.

Rare Earth comment makes it sound like 70 or 71

Alas, not 68. But I'll take 1970. Here it is in this Little Green Bag.
Let's get right to it.

Oh jeez! Instant BOS for BB, Lucille and The Thrill is Gone. Hard to believe this charted, but such a great great tune. (And another one-timer in the DB--its last appearance was October of 05.)

Houston, we have a problem -- our thrill is gone.

VHM BB, amazingly this only appears in the db once before.

and got all the way to #15.  That's 1970 for ya... free-form prog FM tended to be blues-friendly, so there was something of a crossover factor at the time.
