Wed 3/13/13: Cities & States!

SRV "Texas Flood" to start.

and the Doors make it a "Texas" two-fer.

Boston, predictably.

BOS1 Seger, "Get Outta Denver", baby.

also predictable, given that this is The Drive: Zep's "Goin to California". But BOS2 anyway.

generic choice: "In the City".

The Devil went down, while in Georgia. VHM for playing the "son of a bitch" version!

WOS Kansas, "Point of Know Return".

BOS3 CSNY, round on both ends and hi in the middle.

And the social relevance continues: Brooooce in Philly.  VHM.

Doors - The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) 
Boston - Rock n' Roll Band

BOS1 Zep, dancin'.

give George love, give him a #1 single.

uber-LN: the Pinko Floyds.

VHM Dylan, at heaven's door.

ah, the summer of '73: VHM S&C, they sho' do shine.
