inevitable in a 1977 set I guess.  KSAN swooned for punk back then.  The beginning of the end!


the end of what? Rock? or KSAN?  Punk SAVED rock, my friend.

BOS3 -- Sex Pistols. "Those tourists are MEAN!"


Think that might have been vinyl--could swear I was hearing "warmth" and it seemed a bit longer than the version I'm used to.

there is definitely more than one version of GSTQ... Dave plays that one more often than the one I was familiar with back in the day.

off we go... with Klaatu! I'd prefer "Sub-Rosa Subway", tho'.

That's why I called it inevitable.  Punk certainly didn't save rock, but was a logical progression in the big spiral staircase of time.  God Save the Queen was cute, just like Nirvana's first big hit, but not truly great.  I realize of course that puts me outside of the Mainstream Media of Rock, but hey, I'm used to it!

OMGWTF! BOS4 "Rumor Has It", Donna Summer -- is this a breakout? Can't recall if Dave's played it before.

With its Ray Davies-esque vocalist, whoever it was (not specified in the liner notes or AMG--I've looked.)

well "saved" was hyperbole, but it was certainly a welcome bit of back-to-basics that was sorely needed in the age of Boston & Kansas & Foreigner (or "corporate rock" as it came to be known).

Understood, it's just that punk mushroomed so quick into a lifestyle/fashion/fad sort of thing, it looks almost 30 years later like so many other quirks in the road.

Not to mention disco. Nowadays it's looked upon a bit more kindly, but at the time disco was seen as the death of rock & roll. (Not that Boston or any of the other bands you cited were much better--far too calculated to have much to to with r&r.)
