Based on the TotHK, this is either the first or one of the last '67 set in the DB.  If the latter it is also an "On This Date" set.


Gues what, on looking at the Db again, it was the same set  both times - i.e. the aug 18, 2000 set was repeated on Aug 31, 2007.  The first time around it wasn't noted as an OTD set, and the second time it wasn't noted as a classic.  Must have been a Live & Local month.

ETA: I see Urth tumbled to this before I did.

Not sure I know the Arrows Blues Theme. Must have missed this set the first time around.

If you've ever listened Little Steven's Underground Garage, you've heard it. It's his theme music.
Let's get right to it.

Anybody else think "R-O-C-K in the USA" maybe lifted a bit of this Neil Diamond song?

Just caught a great PBS pledge week special that featured a Stax/Volt revue filmed in Oslo Norway in '67. No Carla, but Otis ruled the stage.

I was gonna say "an all-black show for an all-white audience", but i guess Steve Cropper was on stage somewhere...

indeed -- I was surprised that didn't make it into the "Top Rip-offs" list (they had JCM ripping John Caffery).

and here's Davie Allan -- aka Little Steven's closing music each week. "Go back ta Joisey, ya moron!"

ETA: Little Steven JINX!  and very special mention to the fab "true stereo" on the Beatles tune.

No more than ITTLFTNT lifted from "Cherry Cherry."

Dude, it's Neil's "signature riff"! LOL!

Love that percolating drip-drip-drip opening to "Reflections."  The relentless tambourine, too.

Great song!

someone gave me a cassette containing some tuned recorded off WNYU's  Plastic Tales from the Marshmallow Dimension show, and this tune was on it.  Plastic Tales is awesome, a psyche and garage show -- which they might still air...?

I think we all know Mike Love's role in "Heroes and Villains."
