BOS the Turtles, even tho' AL's played it before (as one of my first requests earlier this year, actually). It's not a trip... at all!

BOS to Airplane, VHM to "Space Cowboy," but hoping for some palpable anger in this set.
Gaz: at a work mtg last week I met a former attorney for Jeff Starship and other SF bands, Bob Heywood. In our side conversation about his rock days, he mentioned that in '79 he had co-written a rock opera with Marty Balin, "Rock Justice"  http://www.filmbaby.com/films/3185
And: http://www.answers.com/topic/rock-justice-1980-album-by-various-artists


I've heard of that rock opera!  I didn't know it had seen the light of day.  Thanks!

We might have already discussed this, but I hear that line as "It's not a TRICK at all."  As in, you showed me a magic trick.

And I'll have to remember to request the Lightning Seeds' cover the next time 1997 rolls around.

BOS2 to the Turtles' "You Showed Me," lovely little McGuinn tune.
Saw McGuinn perform that one in-person last week and Turtles' Howard Kaylan is a FB friend (hey, he can be your friend too).

I'd rather go to Mendocino with the SDQ!

The Ohio Express - Sausalito !

And we continue further up Highway 1 to Mendocino. As the hippies escape the Haight.
Let's get right to it.

indeed, but any "Sausalito" song that doesn't involve geographically-challenged Europeans is fine with me.

VHM the GW, coming undone.

DHM to "Wild Child," one of my least favorite Doors songs.  Would have MUCH rather gotten "Soft Parade" or "Touch Me."

Oh My Yes on "Soft Parade" -- if AL can play 9 ponderous minutes of Pink Floyd she can surely play "SP".  Next time.  And next time for "Games People Play".... maybe.

my current '69 wish list -- only the Turtles tune has been played since AL started taking requests:

Brother Love’s Traveling…/Holly Holy
No Matter What Sign You Are
Choice of Colors
Oh Me Oh My
Brand New Me
Sugar on Sunday
You Showed Me
Games People Play/Walk a Mile in My Shoes
Onion Song
She Belongs to Me (Rick Nelson)
Mr Sun Mr Moon (Raiders)
Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town
Stand By Your Man
Black Pearl
When I Die (Motherlode)
Soft Parade
