Whoops, true that.  I guess when I hear "motorcycle show" I don't think of laid back "Easy Rider" types, but more like, "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY" monster truck type crowds.  Well, that and a bunch of Asian kids on their Hondas and Kawasakis spinning donuts and doing wheelies.

The Santana is offbeat in that it's the orig studio version, (at least I *think* it is) rather than the live-at-Woodstock version which became more widely heard.

Shoulda seen this longtime Dave Fave coming.  BOS to "Can I Change My Mind?"

Tyrone Davis is more likely to be heard in a Soul Patrol than a '69 set methinks.

Dave's phone is busy.  Must be a few dozen Fogheads calling him to express the same sentiment!

Webster, eh?  Well, could be worse.  He's a reasonable guy; I heard him on Alice before he came to KFrOG, or should I say, KmsPIGgie?

He has the interim job, no word yet on whether he'll be Singletary (some chance of keeping the job) or Tom "Fred Flintstone" Cable (no chance of keeping the job).
my worst fears realized!

C'mon people now...

Thrice each, although one of the '69 sets has been duped twice.

Anyone else think Dave's voice caught just a little when he said "And that's it for this time, Don Pardo"?

yay Moratorium Day -- I remember it well.
I remember the concert, CSN, Youngbloods, and the opening music over the PA was Gladys Knight and the Pips "Friendship Train" which I coincidentally just bought on iTunes a couple of weeks ago.
I was near the side stage when CSN walked by; they looked so short, and they were wearing their puffy fur coats!

I'm glad you said that, cuz I've been sitting here working away, not paying much attention to what I'm hearing, and just realized we should have been hearing a bonus track, and wondering if I spaced it. WTF indeed--did someone forget to flip the switch for the bonus? I am confuzzled.

she asked the quiz question, "who sang the radio jingle?" (answer: sarah vaughn) and went to commercials. there were a LOT of them, and when we came back we heard Snow Patrol, Petty, REM, Beatles...  I'm emailing the tech types ( sfweb@cumulus.com ) to alert them.

ETA: dammit, the Bonus was King Crimson, "Court of the Crimson King"!

My experience was the same as Urth's - listening, thought I heard Annalisa, then next thing I know it's a big long set of world class rock, where was the bonus?  And super pissed to miss CotCK (feat. Greg Lake on lead vox). Dammit!

weird...  I've had good luck w the KFOG streams from radiotime.com (they never dropped out), but I noticed they changed from 44kbps to 32kbps the same day KFOG launched the redesign. I suspect the radiotime stream is now the same stream as KFOG's -- and maybe they've always been mirrors of the actual KFOG stream. I would keep that site bookmarked just in case, but now I'm not so sure if there's any difference in the two.

The Radiotime KFOG player window just said this "This stream is 70% reliable" so I don't know what to think now.  You're on your own, kids.
