Bare Trees!
BOS2


Crap, missed it while on the phone with tech support.

ETA: Missed more than I thought--the Heep tune, too.

BOS Stones & Allmans, so far.

BOS Uriah Heep.  I first got to know "Easy Livin'" via a cover by half-parodic glam-metal band W.A.S.P.

Another BOS for Mick and the boys getting their Rocks Off.  I learned this song from a Stanford Band originals tape, a recording of the original versions of songs that we play.
"Play the tape machine, make the toast and tea"

Exile is another great '72 anchor.  Fortunate to see this band at Winterland that year.

It's traveling through and around the expanses of the collective mind, man!   Either that it means getting wasted on Malt Duck.

mmm.... peanut butter and chocolate

back in these heady 70s,  it was becoming more acceptable for snacks of different groups to mix.     :)

well on our way to a 10-way tie, big-band BOS for the Stones & another for Rockin' Rod.

and a VHM for "You got chocolate in my peanut butter!  You got peanut butter on my chocaloate!"  My favorite candy, despite the absurdity of someone walking around a corner eating peanut butter straight from the jar, which even as I 9-year old I thought ridiculous.

Man that intro just rocks every time, and sounds extra good in such a rockin' set as today's.  BOS #7 PGATW.

dare I say that old "mah-mo-yeah" is a tad overexposed at this point?

Powerpop Basic Lesson #1:
Sing at the top of your register.  It works.  (See also Alex Chilton in Box Tops vs Big Star.)

Oh. My. Gawd. I can't imagine anyone on any 10@10 has played this ever. BOS3 Cher, The Way of Love.

ETA: Is this a Paul Williams composition?
