Last visit to 1973 (Feb. 15):

Really? Barely over a month since we last visited an early 70s year that most of us would agree has the potential to be pretty good? Could DC be coming around to our way of thinking?

(I have noticed the number of plays for each set on KFOG's Soundcloud player has been significantly higher for the 60s and 70s years than for more recent ones. Hopefully that is not lost on DC et al.)

I like it, and it's so mondegreen-rich, it's a real memory jogger. I don't think I had a quarter of the words right when I'd sing along to it.

Elton trying to create his own imaginary glam star a la Ziggy? Always wondered what this song would have sounded like without the reverb and all the fake audience sound effects.

Fortunately you don't have to. It's an amazing production, more than it's a good song.

Gotta chime it, though late...  It's my least fave Elton John "hit" at well...  That's all, my $0.02

Great clip from a great film.  Just saw it again on the tube recently -- it still holds up.  George Lucas COULD direct great movies, a long time ago and far far away.

Did I mis-hear, or did the news reporter say that the Zep crowd in Tampa was the largest crowd assembled anywhere ever (at that time)?  Apparently Woodstock and Watkins Glen (which also happened in '73) did not count.

Probably meant as an individual act, since they beat the Beatles record.

Tower Of Power "What Is Hip?"

Although a FF, a big BOS from me.  This is such a superlative effort that I never grow tired of it.

The Drew Carey Show used it for one of their dance numbers, and it makes a great video for
the song.  Like so much, the clip is on youtube.

I agree, it's well done.  I own a copy.

I liked this set a lot and want to cast my BOS to War for a seldom-heard song.

I'd like to credit DC/RR for choosing a great rarity there, but part of me thinks Renee just cued up the wrong track on her "War's Greatest Hits" CD and meant to play "Cisco Kid".  ;)
