It occurred to me last night he might do something like this today. Excellent choice!

Indeed, I was wondering how he could top yesterday's set since he did '68 last week & I didn't think he can go any further back in time.
-
Indulge away Dave!!!!!!
-
ah say: Can ah git a WIT-ness? Witness, witness!
-
I'm postponing a drive up to SF to be here
hearing witnessing the fine set coming our way.
-
Mahvin's asking for a witness! Nice start! Think Jackie Wilson will be in here somewhere?
-
Let me hear ya say "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!"
-
Mahvin's asking for a witness! Nice start! Think Jackie Wilson will be in here somewhere?
technically, he's not Motown. I suspect "H&H" will be Dave's last (pre-10@10) song tomorrow.

True dat. He's often professed an undying love for that one as the "best song ever."
ETA: His wikipedia bio says he was born in Detroit though, so it'll depend on whether Dave is limiting this set to just Motown artists, or any from Detroit.
What Are You Gonna Do When I'm Gone? Another message in the song....

Mahvin's asking for a witness!
Never noticed how similar that song is to "Ain't That Peculiar."
One of my very favorite intros: the chords preceding "More Love."

And on cue, here's yer Smokey!
-
"whaddyagonnado when I'm gone?" -- oh Dave, you sly devil.
-
Smokey is just so sublime.
-
a heart that's truthful
keepin' ya youthful
Smokey: best. poet. evah.
-
oo! more somewhat obscure Motown: "I Can't believe You Love Me". With the "My Girl" bassline sneaking in, courtesy (I assume) James Jamerson.
Dave promised "mono mixes" but I'm hearing stereo.

Sittin here very verklempt.

No flaws at all in this set so far, nor do I expect there to be.

Saw him up in Tahoe a long time ago. Fun.

This was the second NTM of the set, which is really sayin' something!
Since Dave's sticking to early-ish Motown, I wonder if we'll get the Velvelettes' "Needle in a Haystack," which seemed to be a Dave fave in years past.
-
Wait--is this really super hit 6? It's only 10:12, fercryinoutloud. We better have about 18@10 today then! :)

I'm guessing about half the set will be first-timers. And I'm starting to get a bit misty, too. This is really happening.

No kidding. [sniff]

It got me.

Sounds like it's unanimous. Wonder how many others around the Bay area are similarly sniffly?

Damn, it's such a shame.
DONT LEAVE ME THIS WAY DAVE!

seasonal sentiment ensures similar sniffliness, assuredly.
and here's the "Someday We'll Be Together" we missed in '69 yesterday.
-
BOS Supremes!
-
Also guessing about half the set is off vinyl. Someday We'll Be Together certainly has that warmth.

VHM Johnny Bristol's backing vox.

Dave was spinning some original vinyl this morning. Peter asked for a vinyl twin spin and Dave had to remind him they only have one turntable.
-
Yay, a Diana twin-spin!
-
Aint no mountain
the looooooong version
-
a double dose of Diana!
-
just got here. but I heard "Can I Get A Witness," and the riff sounds a lot like "Ain't That Peculiar,"
Am I right? Can I get a witness...?
-
Ladies and gentlemen... the LOOOOOOOOOONG version! Diana at her most histrionic. Drag Queens rejoice!

Yeah, so I guess that means that at least every other song has to be off a CD. :D

Hey, Diana's love is alive too!

"ah know... ah know you must follow the sun.. wherever it leads..."
-
If you need me, call me.
No matter where you are, no matter how far.
Just call my name. I'll be there in a hurry.
On that you can depend and never worry.
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me

at the point of tears here

That ain't peculiar - probably the same writers, producers and band for both tracks. :)
-

Grab a kleenex, you've got company across the board here. :'( :'( :'(
-

Me too, for the second time this set.
-
Can one of you record this set to CD tonight?
-
I voted with Dave, a symbolic OK for his BOS choice. Awesome set -- Woo Hoo!!

ok, I'm slow today.

I'll give it a try, but no guarantees--I haven't tried recording from a web stream before. Someone want to provide a backup?
-
So no quiz today--just call in and pick a Temptations bonus track. We're in the ads now, and I'm on the RadioTime stream, so we'll see what happens. Not holding my breath.
ETA: Jeez, just realized that somewhere in the posting flurry of this morning, I had my post #7777.
And a personal gripe: in the stream ad for Viridian wines, the announcer consistently mispronounces Willamette--it's will-LAM-it, dammit!
-
"Get Ready" woulda been my choice too. At least the stream's working fine this time.

well, we got the bonus on the player, at least at my end.

Well, today it's airing on the stream no trouble, at least via RadioTime. Temps, Get Ready.

At least they don't say Or-e-GONE instead of Or-e-GUN. When I was in college in Tacoma one of my Oregonian friends professed to totally hate Steely Dan, simply because they blew that in "Don't Take Me Alive"

Mispronouncing Willamette is a pretty common thing for anyone not from Oregon, but you'd hope the winery's ad agency would have put a pronouncer in the script. Pronouncing Oregon the way Fagen does is how the locals can tell if you're from the East coast.
And there are tons of place names up here taken from Native American words that are completely non-intuitively pronounced: for instance my fave: Champoeg. Looks like "cham-poag", but it's actually "sham-POO-ey"--the g is silent.

That's largely because many of those place names were first written down on maps by French fur traders. Have you heard of the small town across the river in WA called Pe Ell? It has the precise opposite etymology - it was named after a trader named Pierre, and that's how the natives pronounced his name. (I know this because my old dorm roommate married a girl form Pe Ell, and I was a groomsman there).

Here's the setlist:
12/18/08 - Thursday! Good news, it's...Motown!
1. Marvin Gaye - Can I Get a Witness
2. Stevie Wonder - I Was Made to Love Her
3. Brenda Holloway - When I'm Gone
4. Miracles - More Love
5. Tammi Terrell - I Can't Believe You Love Me
6. Isley Brothers - This Old Heart of Mine
7. Four Tops - Yesterday's Dreams
8. Spinners - It's a Shame
9. Supremes - Someday We'll Be Together
10. Diana Ross - Ain't No Mountain High Enough (BEST OF SET!!)
BONUS TRACK: Temptations - Get Ready
-
3. Brenda Holloway - When I'm Gone
5. Tammi Terrell - I Can't Believe You Love Me
glad Gaz finally heard these, tho' I find it hard to believe he's never gotten them on Felix Hernandez's shows. Tammi was so wonderful, and so sad that her solo stuff never took off (and that her later Marvin duets weren't even her).

And the Brenda Holloway was a bustout. Despite my hopes otherwise, it was the only one, but there were several other that had only appeared a time or two before--the Stevie and the Smokey songs. The Four Tops tune had appeared in the DB three times previously (but two of those were classics), and Tammi had shown up in four previous sets, all of which were Motortown Revues. (Dare I say that whenever Dave has done a Motortown Revue, they're always fairly self-indulgent. And they're always great.)

Queue the waterworks? Motortown review making the replay now. Must have missed the 80's. Caught 76, 69 and now this. Can't imagine the XMAS card led the set at 7am.

Yesterday's dreams today are sorrow
Just like your love, girl, fading away
Yesterday's love won't last till tomorrow
I know you're leaving, but what can I say?
Oh (oh) wish that I could find a way
To make you stay; I've got to prove to you
That I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Don't go (don't go) don't go (don't go)
If you go, don't you know
You're gonna leave me with...
Yesterday's dreams though gone & behind us
They're lonely reminders of plans that we made
Yesterday's plans today gone forever
But they're locked here inside me & they never will fade
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, & I always will
'Cause I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Don't you go (don't go) don't you leave me, baby (don't go)
Baby don't you leave me (don't go) please don't leave me
(Don't go) here with yesterday's dreams
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, & I always will
Yesterday's dreams are a small pile of ashes
With one burning hope that hangs on
-
I made a big mistake, honey
I said, I said goodbye
Oh, oh baby
Ever, ever, ever since that day
Now, now all I wanna do is cry, cry
:'(
-
A crime that "Yesterday's Dreams" wasn't a huge hit. (It petered out at #49.) Wow, is that one of HDH's best lyrics, or what?
-
Closing with the lovely Miss Ross. Nothing can keep me from you.

indeed. And listening to it this morning, I was suddenly struck by its similarity (musically) to the Moodies version of "Go Now" -- they'd make a heckuva mash-up.
