Greeting from back home after a long day yesterday. Today is the 39th anniversary of the last The Who album with John Entwistle on bass, It’s Hard. This was the big hit on the album and besides it being recorded in a big hall or theater, this version is really good. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“The sun shines and people forget. The spray flies as the speedboat glides and people forget, forget they’re hiding. The girls smile and people forget. The snow packs as the skier tracks and people forget, forget they’re hiding. Behind an eminence front. Eminence front, it’s a put on.” – “Eminence Front” (Townshend)

Today is the 48th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. It was known for its sexually charged lyrics, which seems tame in 2021, but in 1973 it was almost scandalous. I picked this, not just because of the song is well done, but I find it cool (pun very much intended) that they are doing this outside at a ski resort. Enjoy!

“I’ve been really tryin’, baby. Tryin’ to hold back this feeling for so long. And if you feel like I feel, baby, then, c’mon, oh, c’mon, whoa. Let’s get it on.” – “Let’s Get It On” (Gaye/Townsend)

Today is the 31st anniversary of Extreme’s Extreme II: Pornograffiti. And, while it was their second album, it ws the fist that I had heard of them. Nuno Bettencourt is one amazing guitarist. He is perhaps the fastest clean picker I’ve ever heard. It is aa bur sometimes but so clean a riff or run. Anywhat! With this video be warned that in the first 10 seconds, he drops the “f” bomb and this is a medley of Extreme tunes, but the first part, the “FLight of the Wounded Bumblebee” has always amazed me. It looks like he’s barely playing anything, just moving his hands, but no, it’s really him. Enjoy!

“Sexy Suzi, losing all her sleep. Feeling very hungry. I say, got her tongue in cheek. Uh, huh. Sweet and sour, a bitter tasting treat. It’s the only flavor I think she likes to… She likes to eat” – “Suzi (Wants Her All Day What?)” (Cherone/Bettencourt.)

Listening to BWV Daily this morning (hint hint here), we found out that today is the 20th anniversary of Cake’s Comfort Eagle album. I don’t know much about Cake at all, but I know I like this song and I especially like these kids doing it. That front man is awesome. This was posted in 2013, I’d like to see what he’s doing these days. Enjoy!

“I want a girl with a mind like a diamond. I want a girl who knows what’s best. I want a girl with shoes that cut and eyes that burn like cigarettes. I want a girl with the right allocations. Who’s fast and thorough and sharp as a tack. She’s playing with her jewelry, she’s putting up her hair. She’s touring the facility and picking up slack.” – “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” (McCrea)

Today is the 39th anniversary of Judas Priests “breakthrough” album, Screaming for Vengeance. This tune is probably the best known from the album, but it’s an erroneous saying. The phrase is supposed to be “if that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming.” This is a decent cover but man, the “other guitarist” who isn’t even the lead guitarist or really does much other than distracting the people in the audience is annoying. I’ve been out in the crowd from the stage, but when there’s a need ro call for it, not just going out because you think those people are at all interested in you. Anyway, the singer sounds good except for the “money shot” or the high note before the solo. Anywhat! Enjoy!

Today is the 57th anniversary of The Beatles’ third album (UK), A Hard Day’s Night. The first side was the soundtrack to the film but the whole album is pretty righteous. These brothers sound great doing this version. Enjoy!

Today is the 47th anniversary of Bad Company’s self-titled debut album. It has a lot of great songs but why not do my favorite? I mean, after all it is my fav-o-rite tune from the band. So, enjoy!

“Rebel souls, deserters we are called. Chose a gun and threw away the song. Now these towns, they all know our name. Six-gun sound is our claim to fame. I can hear them say: Bad company and I won’t deny. Bad, bad company ’til the day I die. ‘Til the day I die.” – “Bad Company” (Rodgers/Kirke)

Today is the 31st anniversary of Bad Company’s Holy Water album, which I think isn’t given the recognition it deserves. I think that’s because people think that Bad Company can only be with Paul Rodgers and Brian Howe didn’t get a fair shake with BC. I think Rodgers got that same treatment when he was fronting Queen after Freddie Mercury’s passing. But, this song had some good songs. I picked this version because I can’t get enough of the beer dude delivering his wares in the middle of the first verse. I just find that hilarious. The version is a great version, too. Enjoy!

“Should have told you by now, but I can’t find the words, oh no. If I could show you somehow, but I don’t have the nerve, oh yeah. You don’t see me looking at you, how can love be so blind? Somehow you don’t notice me, sooner or later there will come a time, baby.” – “If You Needed Somebody” (Howe/Thomas)

Today is the 43rd anniversary of The Cars’ self-titled debut album. This album is great from front to back. Just like yesterday, I was lucky enough to do the VSS show that featured the music of The Cars. I had two songs and both were from this album. Here we are from The Ramkat (note: it’s not the full song). Enjoy!

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the self-titled debut album by Crosby, Stills & Nash. That album has a shload of fantastic tunes. It is #262 on the RS list that matters and #161 on the one that doesn’t, however I think the second one has it more accurate. This is a great cover, enjoy!
