Back, Back, Back
Just had a nice out-of-town long weekend in Milwaukee and only now getting around to posting the song list from this past Thursday night on my Roundtrip show (WNRB-LP, 93.3 FM Wausau). It was a 2-hour show, sort of broken up into a mellower first hour and slap-dash second hour:
Pink Floyd, Fearless … just feels good to hear this one
Robert Plant, Little Hands … from tribute album to Skip Spence (former Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane high flyer)
Grateful Dead, Help on the Way / Slipknot! … sweet suite
Neil Young, A Man Needs a Maid … pretty intense plea from ol’ Neil
Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane, Heart to Hold Onto … from Rough Mix, very nice collaboration
Uncle Tupelo, Slate
Counting Crows, Raining in Baltimore … I plan to do a show with nothing but rain songs
Cream, Doing That Scrapyard Thing
Fleetwood Mac, Coming Your Way … Peter Green’s guitar always spooky
Traffic, Giving to You … Steve Winwood and the boys get jazzy
Steve Winwood, Raging Sea … brand-new from ex-Traffic front man
then on to hour #2:
Led Zeppelin, Black Mountain Side … Jimmy Page playing acoustic in DADGAD tuning
Rolling Stones, 2000 Man … “and my kids just don’t understand me at all”
Wilco, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart … Jeff Tweedy in pain
Ray Davies, Is There Life After Breakfast?
Tom Waits, Diamonds and Gold … with Keith Richards on guitar
Canned Heat, So Bad (Life’s in a Tangle)
John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, What’d I Say … young Eric Clapton, old Ray Charles tune
Paul McCartney, How Kind of You … his Chaos album, I think, is one of his best
Nina Simone, Ne Me Quitte Pas … sad as heck, and I don’t even speak French
Kate Bush, Army Dreamers
Steve Miller Band, Kow Kow
James Brown, Doing It to Death
Let me know of any rain songs you think will be good for a rain show. Tune in Thursday night 7-9.
