VHM BBs, "Darlin'".  Nice BBs tribute by Little Steven last nite (combining the start of Summer with Brain Wilson's birthday).

damn!  When you typed a Ruby Tuesday cover, I thought "Could it be?  Could they be playing Rotary Connection?"  I wish I hadn't missed it, but I do have the vinyl.  Minnie Ripperton was in that group.  They did some great covers.

Thanks, Geoff!  I knew I'd heard it once or twice back in the day, but couldn't remember who it was -- and I KNEW it wasn't Melanie's version :wink:

But who the f--- are the Mauds???

BOS the 'oo, "Magic Bus".

In just in time for the Who, sounds like the first have off the set had some interesting surprises.

always nice to hear Hugh Masekela.  Another VHM in a set chock full of 'em.

always a total flashback for me -- it instantly evokes the hot, humid summer of '68, listening to my little transistor radio far into the night, listening to CKLW.

And speaking of: BOS2, Ramblin' Gamblin' Bob!

this could be interesting.  Major props for Rotary Connection today.  Partly because Dave is from Detroit, we don't seem to get the sam level of local band being played in a historical context here.

Good point; I also think it's partly because SF is a far more transitory place; a higher percentage of the audience is not from here. Chicago seems to have had more than its share of "regional hits" (a category which is now a thing of the past).  NYC has had far fewer, at least on the Top 40 side of things. The only record I know of that was a top five single in NYC without cracking the national Top 40 was "Ease on Down the Road" by Consumer Rapport. It was from The Wiz and benefitted from the commercials for that show which were all over NY TV in 1975.
