So... how does "Hazy Shade" get into both a '66 and a '68 set in the same day?

dunno, thought I was imagining things for a second.
ETA: Dave plays it in 1968, fwiw.

AMG sez: "Hazy Shade of Winter" was a sizable hit for Simon & Garfunkel in late 1966, reaching number 13" but only as a single. Then they stuck it on Bookends in 1968.

Always a BOS(5) for "HurdyGurdyHurdyGurdyHurdyGurdy..." -- one you've seen Zodiac, you never hear this the same way again.

ooh, sorry I missed this one:
Look beneath your lid some morning...
man, now that is a dated lyric

Not sure if that was Firesign, Congress of Wonders, or Conception Corporation but it was funny. BOS6.
BOS7 "Pearly Queen", rare Traffic.

Pearly Queen by Trafic is not only BOS #whatever, but a serious bustout.
-
looks like everybody's gone down on Janis.
-
rare Van too: "Cypress Ave". BOS8.
-
Was it Mike that said Ginger has an obscure Van track for every year?
Here's further proof - "Cypress Avenue". Never, ever heard this on the radio before.

Is that a drug reference?

On the chance that you're asking earnestly, I respond: Yep. I can't explain the etymology, but an ounce of pot used to be called a "lid." That phrase went out in the late 70s, probably around the time an ounce of pot became too expensive for the average college student to afford.

I was indeed asking earnestly: I thought I'd heard the phrase "a lid" before, but wasn't sure.
And I can't imagine buying an entire ounce of pot today. Eighths have become the standard here.

When I started college, you could get an ounce of pretty good Columbo for $50, which at the time was a fair amount of cash, but within reason. By the time I graduated in 82, sinsemilla had come along and a quarter ounce was the standard measure, and that went for $30 or $40, iirc.

as Bill Maher said this weekend: "The government is looking for new revenue streams to tax... NOW can we please legalize pot??"

One morning in '78 I got on the school bus and, for whatever reason, I had a twenty dollar bill - which was a lot of money back then for a kid in middle school. The smart-ass doper (aka "head") said, "Hey man, wanna buy an ounce?"
Based on urth's, uh, expertise on the price of weed back then, I suppose that was pretty crappy stuff, but I've always kept that incident as a reference point for what pot costs. Talk about weed-flation.

Maybe I shouldn't be so brazen about knowing these things, but going rate for an eighth in NYC these days is $50-$60. At least if one wants decent stuff with quality assurance.

We need something like The Economist's Big Mac index, where they compare the cost of a Big Mac globally. The Dime Bag index? For example - how much did a fifth of Cuervo or a gram of coke cost in those times/places we've referenced on this thread?
My guess is that pot has always been a bit more pricey than alcohol and much cheaper than any other recreational chemical.

I might point out that, by its very name, a dime bag has always cost 10 bucks. The variable is, how much does one get for one's "dime"?
