Yay!  '73 again, exactly 3 weeks sine the last Drive '73 set -- of course, Bob has 21 years to choose from , whereas Dave has nearly 30, plus theme sets.

Dave played "Kodachrome" earlier, so I'm betting we hear it again from Bob.

What's Bob's range?  1964 - 1984?

A bit disappointed: I need to hear "Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More."

Painfully tired today, y'alls.

actually, '64 - '85, which adds up to 22. My bad. So how was Boston, really?  And I assume you didn't check out The Peak's 10@10? I'm curious about their take on it. I plan to come in early Friday to catch it.

Biting Lou Reed on the ass! Bob should followed that story with "Vicious".

I didn't get home from the Voice last night until 2am (the deupty copy chief is out with the flu, so I assumed a larger role in this issue's production than usual), so getting up early enough for the Peak wasn't an option.  Plan to listen soon, though.

Boston was a lot of fun, though it literally took me two days to recover from the hangover.

Macca's a nice start to '73.  I'm betting on Alice Cooper making a visit.

VHM 4 Tops, showing they could do it without Motown. This was quite a year for them.  And in '74 they released one of my fave almost-hits: "One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)" which if I recall peaked at #41.

Hm, I've never heard (of) that one!  Anything like "Are You Man Enough?" (a personal fave)?

P.S.  For 4T almost-hits, there's no topping "A Simple Game."

Ooh!  Digging this song that sounds like America.  What's done to that bass to make it sound like that, overwound and almost digitized?

It's a first-rate Levi Stubbs workout (later covered by Santana).

Ooo! Ian Thomas! possible BOS here.

Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

Most Digressive Of Set: Scrawny Bruce.  Still sounds good, though.
