Gray-Haired Ponytail Moment (formerly Come All Ye Grateful)

[RGMike]

...Deadheads to Channel 9; KQED is showing The Grateful Dead Movie tonite for Pledge Month.

But meanwhile over on KTEH, they're doing one of those old-school soul spectaculars, and I got sucked in.  Impressively, they had a full orchestra (no singing to cheezy backing tracks for these folks), so there was a real flautist for "Everybody Plays the Fool" with Cuba Gooding SENIOR, and real strings for "Smiling Faces Sometimes".  Sadly, Rufus with some babe trying to do a Chaka imitation on "Tell Me Somethin' Good" was just not the same.  Unanswered question of the night: How many different "Peaches" has "Herb" gone thru in the last 40 years? But 1979 Pazz & Jop Winner "Reunited" sounded mighty fine, hey hey. And the occasional vintage clips of Stevie, Gladys and others too expensive to appear live were groovy, especially the one of a very young Al Green.  Usher, eat yer heart out!

And Ray Parker Jr is yet to come!

it's on the shelf
i take it down
and if no one's around
i-i, i smell myself"

we must be channeling each other...

And the kick-drum is the fault!

And speaking of Old School, I'm listening to the Kiss Sunday Oldies Show, and the theme this hour is "duets". Not only did I hear Rene y Rene doing "Lo Mucho Que Te Quiero" for the first time in decades (!), but they played Gladys & Marvin doing a live duet of "Grapevine"! WTF? Never heard it before and he didn't identify the source so I have NO clue where it was from.

Thanks for the tip to check out PBS. Rod Stewart on KTEH now. Suze Orman or KQED. Rod wins.

And to close out the weekend, Joel Selvin is doing a salute to Jeff Beck on his show on the Bone, er, I mean "KSAN Underground Radio." All sorts of tasty stuff from various points in his career.  Jeff plays with Rod, Jeff plays with Stevie, Jeff plays with himself... well, you know what I mean.

AND -- saving the best for last, he played Mr Beck backing up Lulu (!) on "Drown in My Own Tears" from the Scorsese PBS "Blues" docu. Wow!

I heard some of Joel's show, the one that knocked me out was the instrumental cover of "Day In The Life", which JS in his inimitable style called one of the masterpieces of Beck's career.

Heard the first part of Little Steven's show, including that Tegan & Sara song that Mike said was a former "Coolest Song In The World".  After a few seconds I was sure that I'd ID'ed it correctly, and Little Steven confirmed that it's on their current album So Jealous, as is the track KFOG has now picked up from KCNL (which picked it up frm KROQ), "Walking With The Ghost".  Gonna have to check them out more, not least because Tegan & Sara are Canadian lesbian identical twins.

Indeed, I'd never heard that "Day in the Life" -- that album mostly got press for having godawful Beatle covers by Goldie Hawn & Robin Williams.

I first thought "Walking With the Ghost" was "Walking with the Goat" -- I figured it was a tribute to Stevie Nicks :wink:

look for somewhere in the middle, crowd shot, side view, big guy in beard and ponytail, blue work shirt.  It's quick, but pretty unmistakeable!
