I neeeeeeed this as a storm system approaches on what is otherwise a kickass peaceful evening here on deck. Arguably one of their best songs with a kickass Rod Price guitar riff.

There isn’t a song on Rush’s 1974 debut that sucks, IMHO. Thing is, the late, great Neal Peart wasn’t involved. I think I’ll pour a little more bourbon.

Fuck it. Let’s do some Tull, shall we? Yes, we shall. One of those JT tunes I’d play at my first radio gig.

My late older brother, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2022, was THE ultimate Who fan; saw them at least five times including the final tour with Keith Moon. He would crank the living FUCK outta this one, prompting my dad to yell upstairs “TURN THAT SHIT DOWN!” on more than one occasion. 😁 Now on deck, I’m crankin the FUCK out of it because, well, I fuckin can! Well, that and the bourbon is kinda tasty.

The evening’s “live” selection on deck: one of THE most underrated bands of the 1970s. I played the studio version and live versions quite a bit on the radio back in the day.

#ArgusI thought I had a girl
I know, because I've seen her
Her hair was golden brown
Blowin' Free
Like a cornfield
She was far away
I found it hard to reach her
She told me "You can try"
But it's impossible to find her -
The previous post inspired the evening’s “live” selection on deck, the word “evening” a key element.

The evening’s “live” selection on deck: somewhere in my stuff is, on VHS, the entire Live Aid performance on both sides of the Atlantic at Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia (along with the Australian broadcast before any of that) and one of the best performances of all of it was the set from David Bowie particularly this rendition of one of my favorites from Bowie.

The nighty night ear worm: sometimes, there’s a melody or guitar riff that just won’t leave you alone which, in this instance, isn’t an issue.

Find yourself some fun

Was deployed to U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for almost a year in 2008-09 and whenever I had the chance, was down by the seaside. Now, it’s on deck here in northern Wisconsin and the sounds of the evening.

For “Cover Saturday” it’s the final tune written by Joni Mitchell I played at each of three commercial radio stations I worked at but later I made sure it made the music rotation for the pirate radio station my public affairs unit had in northern Iraq in 2004 blasting out of what had been Saddam Hussein’s palace in Mosul. 😉

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher

A Monday nighty night jam: one of those tunes that caught my ear as a 15 year-old dude about to begin his sophomore year in high school when the band’s first album was released in 1979 and liked enough to still have the album in the collection (along with a shit ton of many others) these 47 years later. Just always liked the opening guitar riff.

A nighty night jam: that time Steven Tyler took Tom Hamilton’s bass toward the end of the tune and does a pretty good job. This one was always fun to play on the radio “back in the day.”

When Styx got somewhat political; at the time - 1975 - the country was dealing with the aftermath of its involvement in Vietnam. This just seems so relevant today. And it kicks ass.

It’s 47 degrees, carved out a spot on deck, poured some hot tea and put on some McCartney. I can think of worse ways to spend a Thursday evening. Jagger would sure love this late season snow.

One more epic from The Who; my older brother got to see these guys three or four times, the first time when Keith Moon was still around. He’d tell me when they got to the part where Roger Daltrey sings “Rock is dead” the crowd would yell back “NO!” Entwistle’s bass work is soooo good.

Gotta get The Who in there somewhere. This was definitely on my playlist at my first radio station gig in 1984 and 20 years later in the song rotation for my unit’s pirate radio station whilst deployed to northern Iraq.

Nighty night jam: after the concert by the Wings Over America tribute band I saw Saturday night I talked to a couple members of the band, telling one of the lead singers (and bass player) I was kind of expecting “Big Barn Bed” off of Red Rose Speedway. The other guy who does vocals, rolling up mic cables nearby, heard me say that. “I agree with you,” he told me. I think I just helped add a song to their playlist.

One of those April Wine album cuts I worked into the rotation at my first radio gig in western Nebraska in 1984. There’s something to be said about the really great things related to the free form album oriented rock format. Like YOU make your own playlist.

It’s not quite break time yet but I feel the need to jam to something from one of Canada’s best I first heard at 14 when it was released in the fall of 1978. Excuse me as I shut my office door. 😎

Nighty night jam: Sina kicked ass on this one to the point Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, part of Deep Purple’s “Mark lll lineup” (with David Coverdale on lead vocal and Glenn Hughes on bass) and the drummer on 1974’s “Stormbringer” album, was blown away with this one when he saw this video. I just get a kick outta her clobbering that drum kit. And the guitar riff Ritchie Blackmore came up with.
