Oh wow, Rod Stewart (as part of the Jeff Beck group?) singing "Shapes of Things" is NTM!

I'd forgotten McGovern was nominated at the '68 convo.

BOS3 Rod's take on "Shapes..."  --- not sure which incarnation this is. Faces? Beck?

Is that New To Me?  If so, it's NTM too.  Kind of a Vanilla Fudge version of SoT.

Me too on the McGovern clip.

Agree with Urth on the uber-ness of this BOS.

Damn fine set after the first half.

nothing "vanilla" about Rod, and I'm not fudging.

and what a time it was...  BOS4 S&G.  Find a clip of Albert Hammond's "Air Disaster" and compare/contrast.

Yup, and I totally agree with your comparison.

If your memory serves you well...
I have a couple vivid '68 memories (I was 10):
1. Waking up to find note from my dad on kitchen table he had left before leaving early for work.  It said that Bobby Kennedy had been shot late last night.  I recall discussing that with kids at school. We were certainly aware of MLK, Vietnam, riots in urban cities and on college campuses. Losing our childhood innocence.
2. RFK's funeral train passing thru our town.
3. My dad taking me to see Democratic Prez candidate Eugene McCarthy give speech outside hotel in my NJ town.
4. Riots in nearby Newark, NJ brought the craziness uncomfortably close to our lil' suburban town.
5. Apollo 8 circling the moon Christmas '68
6. Beatles, Motown, and bubble-gum hits on top-40 AM radio!

Johnny Nash's "Hold Me Tight" is very far off course from the rest of this set, but always welcome.

BOSx for S&G, with Paul doing a pretty credible Marty Balin imitation.  Or maybe it's vice versa.

I'd never thought of that, but it does make an interesting companion piece placed side by side with "Plastic Fantastic Lover."
