Little Stevie (the white one) is so glad we made it.

Bob does his playing-"Get Together"-in-its-orig-year-of release thang, as is his wont.

BOS2 Psychedelic Pstones.



BOS3 Ree-Ree, just a link in yo' chain.

"White Rabbit"  -- figures this would be the one duplicate from AL's set yesterday.    And the Fab Four take us down.  "I'm... very... bored..." indeed.

But uber-BOS4 the pre-fab four, waking me up with "Stepping Stone".

Thur 5/12/11: 1974

the Guess Who's "Star Baby" makes an interesting TOTHK, at least. VHM.

OTOH, coulda done without "Dreamer". Can I put my hands in my head? Er... no.

WOS Buckwheat Crapton. "Mainline Florida? Oh-TAY!"

The Iggles appear with the #1 single that changed their lives forever.

Aerosmith's train keeps on rollin'. And Carl Douglas keeps on grunting. VHM for cheeze factor.  But Woo Hoo! BOS "Ride the Tiger" -- woulda been a cute segue from "KFF" to "RTT" had the Godfather 2 montage not come in between.

BOS2 Frampton's orig studio version of "Something's Happening".

VHM BadCo, rockin' steady; VHM Mr Lightfoot rockin' down the (carefree) highway.
