REK is a national treasure. Saw him at the Murat Egyptian Room swapping songs on stools with Todd Snider and Bruce Robison. Memorable. REK could not have been more hospitable. He came out before the show started just to play a few songs. Corpus Christi Bay is maybe my all time favorite song.
Corpus Christi Bay is one of my favorites as well(as an amateur alcoholic) but Gringo Honeymoon just seems to scratch me right where I itch. It’s the ultimate easy listening music to me.
The song just relaxes me completely.
My wife still doesn’t understand why I play Merry Christmas to the Family so much over the holidays. I just tell her to get me another PBR.
It appears my post yesterday didn't go through...
These guys looked fun to hang with

Bono has definitely always had a flair for the dramatic...
Can't have Circle Game without the song that inspired it... I don't know if this was ever officially released prior to the various compilations it appears on. But in the early 70s it was a standard feature on every Neil Young bootleg I ever heard...
Can't just have 1 Neil tune...
Although Tonight's The Night wasn't released till '75, it was actually recorded mainly in 1973, shortly after the deaths of both Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry...
"Bruce Berry was a working man, he used to love that Econoline van"...
It included this Whitten song (about scoring heroin) that was recorded live at the 1970 Fillmore East Young/Crazy Horse show...
I love me some rock n roll Rod/Faces...
A different tv broadcast...
This isn't marked for specific songs, but it includes a drunken version of Gasoline Alley, a bluesy cover of Robert Johnson's Love in Vain, and a cover of It's All Over Now... Good stuff...
complete hack ..........
More hackiness, but different ... odd choice of tone for Tad.
I think I prefer Freddie Neil's original to the Nilsson cover. But they're both very good...
Just to clarify ,I meant the hosts. Cummings was a very talented songwriter/singer...
didn't start out a hack anyway.
Ted never topped this again, but then, who did.
pop meet metal.
It seems stupid to say, but Carole King may actually be underappreciated, not only as a songwriter but as a performer as well... Some of these early 70s BBC concerts are just amazing, including the one where JT played with Carole when he was just emerging as a superstar in his own right...
It took me a while to appreciate the brilliance of Tapestry. JT's harmony shines thru on this legendary, often covered masterpiece...
My wife gets that far away “what coulda been” look every time a Carole King song starts to play.
Like the Seinfeld “Desparado” guy Elaine dated.

I remember albums ... I seriously regret selling mine and replacing them with CDs.
Then the tapes, I had 100's of bootleg shows. Dead, Allmans, DMB, Sublime, Phish.. I should have transferred them over but they all eventually degraded. I had almost every acoustic set the dead played ..
On that note ... I love this arrangement. It took a bit but it grew on me.
