Title: Week of 10/17-10/21
Post by: urth on October 17, 2005, 11:35:47 AM: Finally getting a good dose of KPOO, sans buffering.

Two versions of The Thrill is Gone back to back (BB's and Aretha's) and now we've got Ree-ree singing straight gospel with a full choir behind her. Say Hallelujah!

Here Come the Judge! Missed it today, but he does dig deep. Love his political clips too. I seem to recall the J-5 doing "Stand" on their TV special, circa 1970.

Post by: urth on October 21, 2005, 12:05:56 PM: CGSS: Hold Back the Night! And I thought this was a Graham Parker song. No idea who this version is, but I dig it. Any idea which came first? Mike? Gaz? Bueller?

The Trammps ("Disco Inferno") did the song first, peaking at #35 in 1976; Graham Parker and the Rumour took it to #58 a year later.

Post by: urth on October 21, 2005, 02:30:24 PM: Now that's timing--just clamped on my cans in time to catch Waterloo Sunset on the rock show--one of my alltime fave Kinks songs. more than makes up for missing Paper Sun.

"As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset...I am in paradise...."

Phil without the Dead huh? Seems like there's still a rift there to some extent, particularly since he wasn't at the Jerry tribute a month back either.

Good luck with tickets--I'd bet the two you want to see are tougher tickets than the NYE show, although the Warfield should be not too tough.

Post by: Alicat on October 21, 2005, 03:14:53 PM: I'm going to mail order for them. I have had 100% success with mail order in the past. I decorate my envelopes nicely.

Two tix limit for Fill and War. They only have package deals where you get the NYE show too. I guess I could sell that one.

Good move; I missed her last year.

Post by: Alicat on October 22, 2005, 07:27:19 PM: Got my three money orders today. A friend said he'd buy the NYE tix so I'm set. Envelope decorated, stuffed and ready to mail on Monday.
I saw Joan with the whole gang on Feb 14 a few years back at the Warfield. I saw them previous to that at HJ Kaiser and can't remember if she sang there. Fuzzy memory.

just to bring this thread full-circle... KPOO's Sat nite '70s show was killer as always: He played High Inergy's "You Can't Turn Me Off (In the Middle of Turning Me On)", which always reminds me of that other late-'70s girl-group, the Jones Girls -- and sure enough later that hour he played their "You Gonna Make me Love Somebody Else"!

But the two biggest flashbacks were "Love Jones" -- a dreadful record but fascinating anyway -- and John & Ernest's "Superfly Meets Shaft", Dickie Goodman's attempt to branch out to the black chart. Hadn't heard it in 30 years and it was funnier than I remembered. Dave should fish it out; he's played "Energy Crisis", and "Mr Jaws" for cryin' out loud.

I have never heard either of those, and would love to.

(I've also never heard the Cheech & Chong comedy response record, "Basketball Jones.")

"What is a 'love jones'? Shucks, darlin'... it's when you love someone very very much... and you just can't seem to get yo'self TOGETHA!"

Both are from early '73 (and the C&C parody came about 8 months later). I'm pretty sure both are on one volume or other of the Rhino '70s soul series.
