Looks like they started on time for once; I just missed the first set so I don't know what it was (hoping it was '90).
Now they just played the back-announce only for "Strictly Instrumental" WTF???
-
OK, so apparently set # 1 was Instrumentals... they just separated the backannounce and/or played it twice. Just heard '83 and now we're getting '90 :-(
But Dave says '74 and '67 are still to come.

Yep, '90 just concluded (the set I mostly missed this week) & so I hadn't heard Dave claim that a Foghead called in to say that he thought the early 90's were a 'musical wasteland, but this set is proving me wrong'. This must have been a newbie listening to his first 1990 set, is the only thing I can think.
Psyched up for '74 & '67 coming last, hopefully Urth is up & at 'em!

That Foghead meant to say "Dave's early '90s sets are a musical wasteland"... :lol:

I've always preferred the Pete Townsend solo version of this song.

indeed. I can't recall if Dave's ever played it.
"So, Miss Hearst... we'd like to know where you got the notion... to rob the bank (don't rob the bank baby), rob the bank."

It's pretty irritating to me.

indeed, "Genesis when they were good". I generally like them in this period, but that weird sonic effect on his vocals is kinda annoying.

I can't tell you how many years my circle of friend's tried to figure out that line. I think it's spelled 'squonk' since I eventually bought a Steely
Dan songbook, although you can't trust these guys anyhoo! Did it ever get explained?

interestingly, there's a Genesis connection ("Squonk" is a song on Trick of the Tail). But a squonk is a mythical creature:

There you go! I've always loved Jorge Luis Borges, and to find he might be involved in this odd chain is so cool!

"Let it all Hang Out" you Hombres!
I've said this before: this record sounds like Roger Miller channeling Dylan.

'67! Saving the best for last, indeed.
and wrong year or no, the Producers montage may be the highlight of the month.

I believe this was the song they did on the Smothers Brothers show, and did the whole destroying the instruments shtick at the end of the song. I recall having my young mind blown at the time.

In a manner of speaking. Was awakened before 7 by starving felines, so when I got up to feed the little bastards, I turned on the recorder and went back to bed 'til the tag end of the '90 set (just about the time you made the above post, Mark). But when I was up starting things off, I listened to enough to know that the marathon hadn't started yet. So it would seem I got the entire marathon for a change (not that I plan on keeping all of it), which it appears was played in chronological order for a change.
Maybe the board op who works Saturday mornings finally got the memo about the later start time. <g>

No, it was "My Generation" & the whole clip is on the DVD The Kids Are Alright. Moon had secretly rigged an M-80 or something (a lot bigger than a firecracker anyway) in his drum kit, and when it went off it not only deafened Townshend for sevearl minutes, it caught a little bit of his hair on fire, which you can see him patting out with his hand.

I certainly could be wrong, but did they play "I Can See for Miles" another time, or on another show back then?

Since I love the Smothers Brothers but was too young to appreciate them on TV, I was interested to find this site: http://www.smothersbrothers.com/episodes.htm
They had all kinds of musical talent on the air, but The Who only appeared once, and from what's in the DVD The Kids Are Alright, it seems pretty clear that they only played the one song. Whether or not they played "I Can See For Miles" elsewhere is beyond me, but if anyone finds that they did I would love to know the details.

I guess the single was released around the same time, as the single was 1967 October 14 "I Can See For Miles", and the Smothers Brothers was just a few weeks before that on 9/17/67. Perhaps radio had the single ahead of the release date, because my distinct memory is hearing it on the radio in tight proximity to the Smothers Brothers show. It was quite revelatory at the time.
