1:05pm SmokinJ:

Hey Joe & all!

1:06pm efd:

WFMU Snow Emergency Schedule in effect! Good to hear you, Joe!

1:07pm Philo Gristle:

Sounds more like Charging than Walking, kicks ass either way.

1:07pm Stevel:

Dear Gawd, this stuff i great! Are we threatening to have an entire show sans lyrics? I'm in.

1:08pm ken in denver:

This music should melt that snow away fast.

1:09pm Philo Gristle:

Rex always starts with an instro set, so feel right at home!

1:09pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn:

InstruMENTALS! Go, Joe!

1:11pm ken in denver:

Was it the Call of the Wighat that brought you to this place?

1:11pm Philo Gristle:

Riptides! First heard on those Songs the Cramps Taught Us comps....

1:13pm Tome:

HOwdy JB that really Roy cool oh EFD in the house too !! cool

1:14pm John L:

You are waking me up. Since I'm at work, I guess that's a good thing.

1:14pm Parq:

Great to hear you, Joe, especially since I missed much of Tuesday's show. And hey, all. Philo, hope you guys didn't get snowed in too badly.

👻

1:15pm Artie:

Peter Lorre on vocals here? Or just a proud imitator?

1:17pm Bad Ronald:

Well, this is a pleasant surprise Mr. B, great opener, it's a good day today!

1:17pm Parq:

Wow, never heard this, Reg and the boys covering the Beachmen.

1:17pm Mailman Tom:

Did one of the Ventures mimic Peter Lorre's voice, or did they hire a voice actor for the song?

1:18pm John L:

Bunch of college kids in here that have never heard ANY version of Wild Thing. How did they graduate high school?

1:19pm Parq:

Hmm. For a second, I thought the references to Peter Lorre on vocals were to "Good Vibes". Chuckle.

1:19pm Stevel:

The Troggs take on the Beach Boys reminds me of the Shatner stuff.

1:20pm Mike East:

joe b. on a Saturday. dig it.

1:20pm Tome:

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeloc ! yea!!!

1:22pm Frank:

Great first set Joe!

1:22pm fleep:

Still telling people about the Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires live set, Joe, one of the highs of the week.

👻

1:22pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I've always been thinking that fur-lined fallout shelter was going to be the doom of poof old Rex. Maybe by next week, they'll be able to dig him out of that hole, miles below the earth's crust. Did he leave you a copy of his wolf howl for the mike breaks?

1:23pm Mike East:

joe, you need more reverb on your vocals if you're gonna fill in for rex. A LOT more.

1:25pm Parq:

Hah! They're right, of course, Joe. And it wouldn't hurt to get yourself some old B-movie drop-ins.

1:27pm Ken in Denver:

hope yr woody's not outside.

1:27pm Amanda:

Happy tobogganing, Joe!

1:27pm fleep:

Today's Santa Monica Pier sea temperature is 57 °F. Bring a wet suit.

1:28pm Philo Gristle:

@Parq No snow here in Indiana, in fact rode my motorcycle to half-day at work today! Sunny, 30F morning, now mid-40s.

1:28pm Rob S:

late to the party but that Peter Lorre was Don Wilson of the Ventures

1:31pm Parq:

Ah, so you guys are in IN. Rather peripatetic, you two. Wasn't sure where you are currently set down.

1:35pm Philo Gristle:

Well, we've been stuck here for a while now even if we're trying to get outta dodge (and have been since 2000!).

1:36pm fleep:

Hahahahaha

1:37pm Mike East:

mmmmmama...

1:41pm Pat. James Lonog:

Joe, Have you heard the Packy Axton comp Late Late Party?

1:42pm Joe B:

hey Pat! We have it here!

1:42pm Joe B:

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in!

1:46pm Pat. James Lonog:

Yes, that one!

1:46pm Mailman Tom:

Rob S. Thanks for the info on Don Wilson.

1:47pm Matt F:

Joe! What a surprise! Thanks for playing the best puke-sound-effects song of all time.

1:48pm KP:

Trains only every two hours. You and Brother Jimmy's Barbecue are stuck with me.

1:53pm G:

Serves me right for not checking the schedule for fill-ins after a storm. Here now...

1:55pm KP:

This is much more fitting for a barbecue joint than what they are playing in the barbecue joint.

1:56pm G:

Yes, old d00d, Save Roosevelt Stadium!!!!

2:00pm G:

Rex snowbound in his furlined igloo.

2:00pm BadGuyZero:

I saw a movie on TV a few days ago that had the footage from that press conference where they announced that rock concerts were being banned in Jersey City. It was "Let The Good Times Roll," a 1973 film comprised of 1950s rock 'n' rollers performing their hits of yesteryear interspersed with some vintage concert footage.

2:01pm G:

Yeah, and what happened after those old stalwarts stood up for keeping rock out Roosevelt Stadium? "...the Grateful Dead employed the space as one of their principal Metropolitan New York venues in the mid-1970s after the demise of the Fillmore East, performing at the stadium six times between 1972 and 1976. Yes, The Allman Brothers Band, James Brown, The Band, The Beach Boys, The Eagles, KISS, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Tony Bennett, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Alice Cooper also performed at the stadium."

2:01pm Battleaxe:

Yo Joe! I think that Margie Joseph is on the part 2 Dirty Laundry! Great tuneage.

2:02pm BadGuyZero:

The Relatives are playing here in Dallas a few days after I get back from volunteering during the marathon!

2:02pm John L:

If you are in the Hudson Valley area, the Jonathan Toubin Soul Clap w/the Stalkers, at BSP in Kingston, is still happening.

2:06pm Mike Sin:

Joe! If it couldn't be Rex, Joe is just the guy to do it!

2:06pm Mike Sin:

Joe! If it couldn't be Rex, Joe is just the guy to do it!

2:06pm Mike Sin:

Joe! If it couldn't be Rex, Joe is just the guy to do it!

2:06pm KP:

The CSNY concert at Roosevelt Stadium happened the night Nixon was pardoned. They played Ohio and riot ensued. It was fun.

2:08pm BadGuyZero:

Mike Sin got the heavy reverb goin' on his comments. *hee!*

2:08pm Joe B:

Roosevelt Stadium RIP.

Thanks Battleaxe! you are right!

2:09pm G:

Among Yes concert traders, the June 76 Roosevelt Stadium boot is considered maybe the best recording available from that tour, b/c after all the currently circulating version is straight out the WNEW vaults (live broadcast), with trippy comments from the Night Bird between and after the encores. A great sounding period piece.

2:10pm KP:

I'm told I should stay in city another night because roads are impassable. Trying to figure out if that is real reason.

2:11pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn:

Mike Sin, is Joe the guy?

2:13pm G:

gotta broom the car again, while there's still sun left to melt the underlying ice after that, bbl

2:14pm Mike Sin:

My fingers are too fat to comment from my phone! Anyway, there's a cool Pink Floyd bootleg from Roosevelt Stadium. I think it was the "Animals" tour.

2:19pm Parq:

Killer version of "Shout" -- an antidote to what "Animal House" did to it.

2:21pm BadGuyZero:

@Mike Sin: I think I have boots of three nights at Madison Square Garden from the "Animals" tour. I can't remember if they played Roosevelt Stadium on that tour. I know that they did on the "Dark Side Of The Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" tours.

2:24pm KP:

Where's that pecan pie!

👻

2:25pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I have some news that Lee Rocker (Stray Cats) and some other folks are playing tonight in Woodstock, NY. Call ahead to be sure it's still on.

2:27pm Toddophonic:

Kiss, Bob Seger and J. Geils Band played together at Roosevelt Stadium. There was a 4th act, might have been Frampton

2:30pm Droll:

Jezzz, I'll bet the tickets to some of those 4-act shows were under $10! Try to see Kiss for less than $50/seat today...

2:30pm Joe B:

J. Geils also opened for Yes there! with Jo Jo Gunne

2:34pm BadGuyZero:

@Toddophonic: Point Blank

2:35pm Rob (from Mt Hope):

Hey Joe

2:39pm BadGuyZero:

That was the original intro of "Detroit Rock City"!!!

2:42pm G:

True dat, Joe, and on the WNEW soundboard boot Yes actually totally **rocked out** for once with a killer version of "I'm Down" with a 120-mph all-rock guitar solo as their final encore, leaving a wall of overmodulated audience cheering at the end...

2:48pm Mike East:

It's been a fine two hour excursion to nowhere, Joe B. Really enjoyed having you spin today.

2:50pm Toddophonic:

2:51pm G:

"It was finally demolished in 1985, and a gated community named Society Hill opened on the site in 1987." Progress.

2:50am tomB:

Do you think they took their name from the movie or from the song "Troglodyte"?
