19 Oct 2012: it's... 1970
« on: October 19, 2012, 09:39:44 AM »
a '60s Friday? or a 2nd '90s set this week?

ETA: the clue is "the Partridge Family had a #1 single" -- and "I Think I Lurve You" straddled Dec '70/Jan '71.

and it's '70. With Rosalie subbing again.

Yay, 1970, BOS, the Mighty Zep, though I am not a big fan of the wailing.  Great guitar solo saves the day.

Yeah. Love it but pretty LN. One of the acoustic numbers from LZ III woulda been nice.

Indeed -- LN4. The Drive did '69 today and I said the same about "I Want You Back". Their first 6 hits are all LNs except for "Mama's Pearl".

But it's been awhile since we've heard "Ben".

or any of his early solo numbers -- i requested "I Wanna Be Where You Are" from AL many times to no avail.

nice surprise: "El Condor Pasa". BOS for the only semi-rarity we're gonna get, probably.
