Tue 2/10/15: Feb 1976

Frampton, Marley, Lou Reed and Carole King

Wow, this set starts with a double whammy: EJ "Feel Like a Bullet/Robert Ford" and then Dylan "Black Diamond Bay".

of course song 3 is "Show Me the Way" but ya can't have everything.

but here's some not-overexposed Marley, "Trenchtown Rock"

Ms King arrives with the little-heard-since-'76 "Only Love is Real"

Sweet Lou, "Charley's Girl". I'm gobsmacked: 6 songs so far and 5 are serious rarities.

our 2nd LN: "Squeeze Box".

Taxi Driver "You talkin' to ME??" --> Bowie "Stay". Funny I didn't know that movie opened in Feb -- I didn't catch up with it until summer. And while the Bowie tune is a KFOG 10@10 mainstay (heh) it rarely shows up on regular radio -- Classic Rock is far more fond of "Fame" and "Golden Years" from that period.

BadCo, "Silver Blue & Gold" -- proxy of mshray! Wait -- only 9 songs? WTF??

Fri 2/13/15: Feb 1967!

looking forward to the replay tonite...

ETA: "Ruby Tuesday" to start.

BOS1 Blues Magoos "Ain't Got Nuthin' Yet", easily in my Top Ten all-time rock 45s.

uber-LN1: "Gimme Some Lovin'"

BOS2 "Pretty Ballerina", Left Banke

BOS3 Smothers Brothers theme -- the show premiered Jan '67.

uber-LN2 Buf Spgfld "FWIW", fwiw.

BOS4 Seeds, "Pushin too Hard", another for the all-time rock 45s shortlist.

BOS5 Marvelettes, "Hunter Gets Captured..." a gem you don't hear nearly enuf.

BOS6 Byrds "...RnR Star"

BOS7 Rascals, "Lonely Too Long"

BOS8 Eddie Floyd's much-covered "Raise Your Hand" (a Springsteen live staple for many years).

And we close by "going to eleven" with the Fab Four "Strawberry Fields". Nothing to get hung about.
