8 June 2009: Chartbusters 1972-1982

[RGMike]

"10 great songs from 10 great years" sez AL on the promo. "Chartbusters '72 to '82" or somesuch. (er, that's 11 years, AL)  Did Dave take the phrase "vertical tasting" back to Michigan with him?

Great minds.

Just heard the promo leading into the set (so much for the surprise factor) and thought, "Gee, I hope someone clues her in that 72 to 82 is 11 years. Otherwise, it'll be AL's first 11 at 10."

As for the substitution of "chartbusters" for "vertical tasting", I think that's just another way they're trying to distance AL's 10@10 from the Dave years, to make it hers without borrowing much at all from Dave. About the only thing that's carried over that I can tell is the little bit of Time Warp that opens the intro. Otherwise it's completely reinvented.

Seems they're playing the promos a lot more often and prominently than they did in the Morey era.

So, which year is getting left out of that '72-to-'82 span?

since the first topic is the default subject for all posting in this topic, I changed it to be the announced title.  I hope this is OK

"here's what ah wan's do"

Zoom-a-zooma-zoom!

so, have we skipped '73 and gone directly to '74? 'Cause "Jet" wasn't a "chartbuster" until spring of that year.

And no sooner do I post that than she uses Dave's "Nineteen-seventy-threeeeee" choral bumper to lead into McCartney's Jet.

McCartney and Wings "Jet"
(it is Wings, right?)

Woo Hoo - the Mighty Macca!!  I still love almost everything from Band on the Run.

Yep.

BOS for Macca "Jet", a real sledgehammer for me, associated with being the new kid in school in 6th grade.

Everyone was convinced that "much later" was "mark schroeder", and one kid tried to convince everyone that the song title was not "Jet", but rather "Fag".

seems funny looking back, but not so much at the time.

74, GFR "Locomotion" with twisty snake guitar lead.

You are correct, more or less. It debuted on the charts on Feb 23 of '74, but Band On The Run was released in December of '73, so Jet should be legal for 73 or 74.
