Title: Tues June 7 -- it's 1977
Post by: urth on June 07, 2005, 09:39:30 AM
Or so said the promo I heard last night.

The 90-less streak continues--May 11 was our last trip to that decade, 95 to be specific.

and Dave just confirmed. Seems like we just did '77 (yes, I always say that) but April 25th was the last time.

Gaz gets his WOS out of the way early!

VHM for me, and I don't care what anybody says. A lovely album.

Based on the first two songs, seems like a "lite" set. Any bets on "I'm in You"?

I've heard "I'm in You" at least 3 times on MAX -- hope Dave resists the temptation.

Is this Dave Mason? A rarity, if not a bust-out.

VHM for Dave Mason's Mystic Traveller, simply cuz I'm sure I haven't heard this in...longer than I really want to think about. Not 30 years, but close enough.

And the "lite set" theory is still alive.

ETA: Dave really is digging deep lately, as he mentioned in the backsell yesterday.

I came in just in time for this "Traveler" song that I've never heard.  What was the WOS that I thankfully missed?

I like Jimmy Carter - more now then I did then. Course I was only 12 at the time, but I sure appreciate his wisdom back then. Now go out and buy that SUV.

I'd totally forgotten about this song.  Trying to catch up on some stuff that I just got yelled at by email for not having submitted already & was halfway through humming along with the song before I realized what it was.  Very nice.

BOS Psycho Killer!! Not that I'd heard it in '77, but still worthy.

In a small bit of synchronicity, I just finished reading a history of the Talking Heads called This Must Be The Place last night. Fairly interesting, except I spotted a few minor factual errors (which makes me wonder how many I didn't catch).

ETA: And Dave played Jerry Harrison's Rev It Up in the half hour or so before this set. Heads are everywhere.

"Knowing Me, Knowing Katrina". I loves me some ABBA but this one needs a moratorium.

that call-and-response whisper thing is pretty damn hokey.

Title: Tues June 7 -- it's 1977
Post by: Gazoo on June 07, 2005, 10:27:30 AM
BOS to Graham Parker's take on "Hold Back the Night."  Only slightly lesser to the Trammps' original.  Did this chart?

I' don't have Whitburn handy... it was on the "Pink parker" pink vinyl EP which I proudly own.

Another Gaz un-fave! "Good Morning Judge".  Not even my fave 10cc; I'm still waiting for "Life is a Minestrone".

Graham Parker only grazed the Top 40 once (and just barely at that) with 1985's "Wake Up (Next To You)" - #39.

I think Dave has it in for Gaz today.  (although after Gaz explained why he doesn't like JB, I can at least sympathize if not totally agree).

I don't mind "Changes in Attitudes" at all, in case anyone wondered.  I think Buffett's OK when he's serious-minded; it's his novelty numbers that grate on me.

he did an album of duets with country types.  A lot of Parrotheads also like country; it was a marriage made in his accountant's office.

Bless you my son; you've made an old man very happy. I can't remember the song where he disses Anita Bryant but I'll always love him for that.

Oh. See... that's what I like about 'em. Let's face it- one can only "bang their head" so much before their neck hurts. Abba provides variety.

However, I've never seen that musical based on their songs. For me it's gotta be the Original Swedes or forget it. Unfortunately, I've never seen them live, either.

We saw the musical, and it was a joy, but the Sunday matinee audience I  was with had sticks up their butts and didn't stay dancing for the finale!

Well see, if I had a stick up my butt I'd probably find dancing for the finale kind of painful.

Then again I've never actually tried it, so...

Well, they wouldn't be much of a "supergroup" if they didn't dress like members of the Justice League!

And as an addendum to what I said earlier: You can't go wrong with Swedish women in miniskirts and white boots. Seriously.
