who i am playing now.

Hola, Erica! Too kind! Thank you!

Elbow roomy in here ya

Hi.

We're here

...and loving it.

yo! NBW!

hi

Hi Esoterica! Did I just hear surf band and Philly in the same sentence?

Creem Circus! Great band. Mr DiPinto guitars himself. They put on a fun show. Named after those rock ragazines of the 70s 80s

hey there!

howdy andrew! i have your request cued up!

howdy roffle!

yes you did haha, roffle!

nice!

Mind bender!

Blender

Total Stoke Lords no doubt. What up council...

Hi, DJE!

to gbiss!

GBOSS!

Speaking of Lennon/McCartney, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band is possibly the most self-referential songs they wrote, so How Do You Sleep is actually double self-referential?? Excellent selection!

ah thanks!

and good points, shaun:)

Thank you, DJE!!!

hey IP!!

thanks to you!

great stuff

Hey gang!

hey stevie p!!

I forgot it was Thursday. hehe

haha everyone seems to be sleeping in lol

glad you are here

all of youse

I was up early today, out working, etc.

The pipes! The pipes are callin'!

gotcha

Kept thinkning it was Wednesday. I guess rolling the clock back threw me off more than I expected.

oh yeah i am a movin'!

Everybody's volume just clockwised.

Mike, I did just that! Just did that.

Aye the pipes!

oh yeah!

hey mike!

Hey!

Also, high praise for the AOD (which I missed because I was at FedEx)

yay! i have another AOD coming up later:)

Hello all !

howdy tom!

Oh damn I forgot I shouldd have sent you a copy of the Faraway Guys Theme for today

diggin the oldies but goodies today

thanks, stevie! me, too

I saw AOD up in north jersey Saturday and they played all the hits!

man, tom! hey I am filling in for commie Saturday night so will continue the theme then 8-11 Saturday!

so let's do it!

so good, andrew! i have bruce's lament coming up:) where did they play?

I'll send you a copy

dingbatz

cool

Oh it's my favorite Stones singalong!

one of my fave albums!

from start to finish

Getting restless.....

this takes me back... way back... 1973, the summer after high school, living with some friends in a cabin out in the country

oh yeah, stevie

great song, no?

i haven't heard this since, maybe, the 80s. the lyrics are imprinted in my brain, and i'm silently singing along

why is there another song listed on website now? hmm

epic song, DJE

unmistakable ian

@ѕтєνιє ρ, Definitely gear oil for the way back machine.

i went to a mott concert at the harrisburg farm show arena shortly after this album came out.

unfortunately, mott was over 2 hours late, and pretty obviously baked

wow, stevie

like, totally baked

maybe drunk

the big man joined the band...

ludes? we'll never know. hehe

this is also one of my fave albums

being an acoustic bruce fan, listening to his 1974 albums, i sort of turned up my nose at born to run right after it came out

Esoterica...you're better than this. LOL

hahhaha

well there is self-referencing

lol

Got this album as a birthday present as but a wee lad. :)

Born in NJ

...And overend's just a rock'n'roll star

Bringing us back with AOD!!!

That piano signals it....

oh yeah, NBW!:)

Tom and sometimes I and sometimes both have helped warp this into weird and wild medleys on the stages of local haunts

i love it, bri!

oh yeah, love playing this song

Cool Brian, string magic! 🤘

Chainsaw amped up takes, funked out sped up, laid back cruise ship lounge singer style.... ya many crazy ways of tackling this

i wanna sing it sometime on stage lol. but do you need piano, i think so??

Seldom... very seldom

Eso, is that you singing along?

no, works fine without piano

"cruise ship lounge singer style" lmao

oh yeah, stevie p

Too many guitars solves the no piano problem. And Twister! And an IV drip bag full of Manhattans

ha!

I'll have to see if I can dig a good version out of the archives here

oh yes!

do it, tom

"Love Boat" theme was the cornerstone / jumping off point to many of the improvs ya

lol

love it

old tv theme songs lend themselves to jumping off into other tunes

More high hat!

oh yeah

Don't bring flare guns or fireworks to the show. Hard to believe that loud cherry bombs, firecrackers etc were common at concerts. You can hear them going off on lots of old concert recordings. I missed most of that but a few shows in the 80s you'd get the occasional bottle rocket or firecracker

man, I love the sound of a Hammond organ

me, too, gbboss

shoot, gboss

with a leslie amp!

Ripping gtr solo here!

I think he played a 3/4 Rickenbacker. At least that's what I kinda know about Fogerty.

working right now need to dig more later, cant find a tonights the night right now but here's a here's a love boat for you http://bagofsongs.com/samples/SpareTire/1997_Masters_Of_The_Road_Vol1_Cassette/2-06-SpareTire-MOTR-Love%20Boat.mp3

love it thx tom

Bri, that's the masters of the road version pretty sure you;re playing on it

Oh ya! Various bars, backyard parties , live on studios, etc

Afternoon Es, great day outside to be concurrent of Teena Marie's "I've Been Here Before" in my background! Also, nice Kool and The Gang!

That'll be fun to catch you filling in for Commie Francis!

❤️

Dan McCafferty had some pipes . Aye Dunfermline in the hooose. Some gems here and there in the Nazareth discography

oh yeah, bri

hi guelo! hi richard!

Great solo on this. Especially on the Live With the Shit Creek Boys lp made during the country tour where the pedal steel player did it.

oh yeah, bri, love

hearing those reworked ween oldies on the country tour was amazing

If you know rnb Mase singer, he sampled Kool's Hollywood into his "Feel So Good" 2000s song!

o wow, os, i don't know it

Fat Angel way into our wheelhouse over here. Thanks for that!

nice newtown bike works!

love this movie and soundtrack

centerviiiiiiiile

oh yeah! thx to listener bob! who requested

AOD YESSS!!!

Will you be starting the show on Saturday night with the Bay City Rollers?

actually good question! i have a cute little rejoinder to the BCRs

that i will start with

do i sense some nick lowe coming on sat too

shoot! you got me

toooommmmm

Ahhh… so that’s the sample!!

hey guelo, yeah

First time hearing original. Always a cool feeling of Sonics tangibly devolving through time…

i gotta drop off early today. GREAT SHOW, DJE! Thanks! Bye all.

Ahh the one that reminds me of Blue Öyster Cult "Then Came the Last Days of May " for a minute in beginning

thanks stevie!!
