Title: The Drive, 6/9/09: 1970
Post by: RGMike on June 09, 2009, 08:04:38 AM
"I Got a Feeling" this will be a decent set. Seaver in for Stroud.  VHM "Tighter Tighter", Alive and Kicking's fab OHW. They dined off of this for 30 years.

Steve Stills says "Love the One You're With" -- and he practiced what he preached.

Liking this dual-guitar work - NTM.  Santana?  Allmans?

Mike - I gather you just saw Up?  It's on my list.  (This weekend I saw The Hangover - LOVED it.)

Pretty sure this is the allman bros..  In Memory of Elizabeth Reed?

I thought the trailer to Hangover made it look lame, but it got good reviews (incl from you).  I should see it.  Might see Up tonight.

VHM Joe Cocker's "Letter."  Far better than the Arbors' anemic cover.

BOS PG&E, "Are You Ready?"  Alas, the version I have is truncated, missing an entire verse.

ETA: I used to want to write an essay on 1970-72 R&B music fixated on apocalyptic takes on religion, but I never got further than this and Curtis Mayfield's "If There's a Hell Below, We're All Gonna Go."

that list has 101,976 other movies on it, tho'. ;) I'd bump Godfather 1 & 2 up ahead of Up.

interesting idea.  Jesus (at least as philosopher, if not messiah) was pretty popular "back then," yeah?   Andrew Lloyd Webber "Jesus Chris Superstar" comes to mind, of course.  all the "god rock," the Geo Harrison spirituality... My oldest brother was (and still is) a real hippie, and back in the early 70s he worked Jesus into his world outlook (of course, he *did* grew up pretty Catholic).   I remember thinking that "for a hippie, he sure sounded like a religious freak."

There was plenty of God Rock in '70-'72, but for various reasons, the white takes seemed happier (Ocean's "Put Your Hand in the Hand" comes to mind) while the black takes seemed more paranoid and pessimistic (well, except "Oh Happy Day").  I blame Vietnam and J. Edgar Hoover and James Earl Ray.

"Oh Happy Day" was controversial in its day, because some found the lyric ("he taught me to watch, fight and pray") not exactly true to what the New Testament was about (Jesus didn't teach anyone to "fight", he said "turn the other cheek").

BOS3 the mighty Badberries, er, Razfinger, er, "No Matter What".

Oh what a beautiful Bobby Bloom (will we get the loooong version?)
