WFMU: The Avant Ghetto with Jeff Conklin: Playlist from June 26, 2017

Listener comments!
	12:05am PJ: Midnight Rambler is probably my least favorite Stones song, mostly because it is an interminable about a serial killer, but somebody got the right combination of drugs to the band on this night, because this version is smoking.
	12:05am PJ: interminable song
	12:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mick Taylor. Not bad, yerknow.
	12:08am SMPL PRTL_: Fuck yeah, Mick Taylor!
	12:09am Jeff Conklin: This is one of my favorite songs. Not just because its long but because MT just rips it up almost every time. Great version. Also, I'm a Stones nut and have never played them on the show before. Good morning, all.
	12:11am SMPL PRTL_: Afternoon! :)
	12:12am Fuzzy: Good Stony Morning y'all!
	12:13am fleep: Good evening from The Valley
	12:14am SMPL PRTL_: First time playing the Dead on this show as well, right? ;)
	12:15am sam: Evening from NorCal. Great segue! Brussels is the Stones at their best(although the Aussie '73 tour is even wilder).
	12:15am Tidy666: Greetings from Catskills Mr Conklin!starting off with a bang...always nice to be in the ghetto!pigpen!!
	12:17am PJ: Well, now we can see why The Dead were not signed to Stax. (Apologies to the Dead fans, but the vocals, among other things, have always left me blase.) But I do appreciate that they had good taste.
	12:19am Jennifer_PNW: Good evening from a sultry Oregon, ~100 degree peak today
	12:19am sam: Knockin' the Pig...bad form :)
	12:19am Tidy666: Sometimes urine and vinegar are just a valuable as "talent"!
	12:19am Jeff Conklin: You're just a fountain of positivity this evening, PJ. The Dead and Stax were just fine without any association.
	12:21am PJ: Sorry, Jeff, I am actually enjoying the program. I will refrain from further commentary.
	12:21am SMPL PRTL_: I kind of appreciate the ragged but right approach.
	12:21am Jeff Conklin: @PJ: No need to refrain, just bustin' yr chops a bit
	12:22am fleep: Jennifer_PNW we beat you, it hit 110 here, but the Santa Anas have lifted, the windows are open, and the Dead are serenading the neighbors and their yippy little dog.
	12:25am Jeff Conklin: Straight levitation from Jerry on this.
	12:27am Jennifer_PNW: Wow, Fleep! Just opened my windows, only the Dead are serenading the yippy neighbor children here.
	12:30am Mitch: Listening from Mama Shelter room 508. Hollywood Ca.
	12:32am Santos L. Halper: levitation blues
	12:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Levitation' is an Elevators word to me - but they all had relations, naturally.
	12:35am Jeff Conklin: The Elevators had levitation for sure but the Dead had a lot more ;)
	12:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a point you have made, & which I now bring up w/ everybody: the simple fact that the Dead played - all - the - time - allowed a whole different sort of thing to happen around them...The Elevators code was to never play unless tripping - but they certainly had no scene like the Acid Tests which the Dead had the freedom to develop in - quite the opposite in Texas...
	12:45am MONEYBAG$: my dad got to see the dead in 1967, a show that doesn't even circulate
	12:48am Mitch: Hey Mona!!!!
	12:50am BEAVO: Love pre Chet "Dino" Powers QMS.
	12:52am upsetter5001: Just waiting for the sun to finish burning out here in Wash..
	12:54am upsetter5001: I didn't realize that Dead tune was from 67'. The harmonica sounded like " Smokestack Lightning" but everything else sounded like 1969 to me.
	12:55am BEAVO: Yeah, If the "Elevators" weren't tripping all the time someone might have said, "Hey, mabye lets NOT have the fucking jug on EVERY number.
	12:55am upsetter5001: @BEAVO ha ha ha!
	12:56am Tidy666: The jug!huh.
	12:56am fleep: Three songs for the entire hour. Fantastic.
	12:57am sam: Old school free form ray-dio...3 tunes in an hour. Love it!
	1:01am BEAVO: They've released a ton of "official boots".
	1:01am MONEYBAG$: Pig had a real hardline stance against pocket pool
	1:02am BEAVO: Pig was doing that routine till he died!
	1:03am Drunken Creep: Would have probably danced here, yet appreciate hearing that "don't tell me how to enjoy music" along with a great track
	1:03am coelacanth∅: goats head soup: the last great 'stones album. midnight rambler: the one song that keeps let it bleed from being the best 'stones album.
	1:04am Aitch: Late in, afternoon Jeff. Nasty work, will interrupt.
	1:04am Jeff Conklin: So many Midnight Rambler haters!
	1:05am Jennifer_PNW: Heavy track
	1:06am MONEYBAG$: I don't hate midnight rambler. saw the stones a few years ago and they wheeled Mick Taylor out just to play it
	1:07am Jennifer_PNW: Arghh, this Farm record is too expensive on Discogs
	1:08am Jennifer_PNW: Just for the record, I vote yea on Midnight Rambler
	1:09am Guido from Cologne: Hello Jeff, hello people.
	1:10am Jennifer_PNW: Hi Guido
	1:10am coelacanth∅: Mick Taylor composed the git part for honky tonk woman; wrote moonlight mile; wrote can't you hear me knockin', and most of the rest of sticky fingers - the 'stones best album....etc etc....midnight rambler has very little to do with the Great musician, Mick Taylor.
	1:11am Aitch: Too much filler on Stones albums. Nothing of note for way too long either. Dead horse flogged.
	1:12am Aitch: Do love Keef though
	1:13am coelacanth∅: no filler on sticky fingers, or between the buttons, for that matter.
	1:14am Jeff Conklin: Well, seeing as how MT played on that version and all notable versions of Midnight Rambler, I'd say it has quite a bit to do with him.
	1:14am Jennifer_PNW: Bummed that Mick Taylor never received songwriting credits from the Glimmer Twins
	1:15am MONEYBAG$: I love Metamorphosis and there are almost no Stones on it
	1:15am coelacanth∅: ...maybe the guitar part...but it's notably un-sophisticated for Taylor.
	1:19am Mark R.: These Tripsichord folks are pretty groovy.
	1:20am Jeff Conklin: @coel: I'll take that "un-sophistication" any day of the week. Anybody else want to piss and moan for a bit? Let's get it all out tonight
	1:20am Aitch: Did say albums. I'll try again. Applegies for -ve vibes JC
	1:22am fleep: I can't complain. But sometimes I still do.
	1:22am Jeff Conklin: @Aitch: You're good. Opinions are fine. Telling someone else theirs isn't valid, not so much.
	1:24am Johnny Sal: @Jeff: Uugghh! Mazzola, my least favorite Fingletoad album.
	1:24am Jeff Conklin: @Johnny: HAHAHAH
	1:25am Aitch: I mean I'll listen again, could be wrong, often am. A project. Stones have a load of my fave songs, just they're all on different albums
	1:25am Johnny Sal: I know nothing of Fingletoad. Kinda digging this, though
	1:26am coelacanth∅: hey Jeff - was anyone here telling anyone else their opinion wasn't valid?
	1:30am Mark R.: I love the Mick Taylor era of the Stones, but I think it's true that he was cheated out of many songwriting credits, which also happened to Ron Wood for many years. I'm glad they finally released "The Brussels Affair" officially. I had a cassette copy of it from "The King Biscuit Flower Hour" that I played to death. They were really playing great that night and it's a nice chance to hear some "Goats Head Soup" tunes like "Dancing with Mr. D." and "Heartbreaker." I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Taylor briefly in a hotel lobby a few years back when he was doing a few tunes with them on their tour. A very nice gentleman, he looked great (I know he'd had his struggles over the years, but he seemed quite healthy), and he said he was really enjoying the tour.
	1:30am Jeff Conklin: @Coel: You're there telling me Midnight Rambler has nothing to do with MT, which, I mean, is demonstrably false.
	1:33am Jeff Conklin: And I said I loved that version because of MT's playing.
	1:33am Mark R.: Mick was not on the original recording on "Let It Bleed" (which is great in its own way), but on all those great live versions, he was a big part of it, especially as time went on, he developed that great slide part for it, which you featured tonight.
	1:34am coelacanth∅: yeah, he played git on it. ...so because i said this i'm telling you your opinion is wrong?
	1:38am coelacanth∅: it was composed before Taylor joined the band, and shows nothing of the sophistication that was obvious on the entirety of sticky fingers.
	1:45am Jeff Conklin: I like the Stooges and Yes
	1:46am Mark R.: Me, too, eff--there's room for the sophisticated AND the unsophisticated, sometimes in the same song!
	1:47am Aitch: Stones never did a record to compare with Revolver. Hand grenade thrown. For me as an aussie go to band(s) for Brit pop Kinks, Donovan et al
	1:47am Mark R.: Uh, that's Jeff with a ""--not eff!
	1:47am Jennifer_PNW: Agree 100% Mark R
	1:48am Aitch: Stooges, good lord. My big bro (I'm old) bought Funhouse new. Changed my world.
	1:49am Jennifer_PNW: I saw Yes 20 years ago. Not the greatest show ever but to a 17 year old prog stoner, I was stoked.
	1:50am Mark R.: That is quite a hand grenade, but I'll say what I'd say if I was running for office--honestly, I love both bands, and "Revolver" was a wonderful album, and so was "Let It Bleed," and they're very different and fabulous, each in their own way. Please vote for me.
	1:54am Mark R.: I saw Yes on their "Going for the One" tour, the first one where Rick Wakeman rejoined the band, and it was everything I hoped it would be, right down to flowing sleeves and the waist-deep fog during the "Get Up Get Down" section of "Close to the Edge."
	1:55am Aitch: Jeff's still a gold darn hippy though whatever we think
	2:00am coelacanth∅: hahaha! the stones never did anything like rubber soul or abbey rd. either...or like fun house or relayer...but the beatles never did anything like beggar's banquet or sticky fingers; or forever changes or electric ladyland... revolver is Great because the Great songs are Great - but...it's not all good! (in my ever so humble, but obviously invalid opinion!)
	2:03am Jennifer_PNW: Mark R, that show sounds epic. Jealous! :)
	2:08am Mark R.: I enjoyed it--I was just the right age (late teens); Donovan opened (he actually had a brand new record out), and I expected to hate him, but I loved his set, too!
	2:08am Aitch: Agreed ancient fish. All good. Jeff a guru, a learning experience. Dead-set (aussie slang) soft since Just Music though?
	2:14am Eric Hat: Oh man. This Chuck Johnson is so beautiful. Thanks again Jeff
	2:15am northguineahills: Dig this Chuck Johnson. night!
	2:15am Mark R.: I agree, Eric--simply delicious stuff, and perfect for this time of night on the East Coast.
	2:16am grace gold way: my luggage got lost in riga on my way to russia once
	2:16am Eric Hat: It's even working here in Flagstaff. Making me (more) homesick for NY though.
	2:18am Aitch: Jeff's favorite band Bucks Fizz, he's mad for Eurovision and just can't help toe-tapping to techno, just saying. The whole Dead-thing just a front.
	2:23am Eric Hat: Just impulsively purchased Balsams from VDSQ Records' site. IRIE.
	2:24am Aitch: Daytime here, sunset, short days, in the future (+14 hrs), rev it up man>
	2:24am Jeff Conklin: @Eric: Nice!
	2:25am Jennifer_PNW: Rag Lore track is a thing of beauty
	2:28am Eric Hat: I just wish I could throw that disc on the plate when I get off work. Would go well with my beer at sunrise. It's my Friday!
	2:35am Eric Hat: Yr honestly just killing it with this set Jeff. Awesome.
	2:56am ian: such a sweet vibe, really great.
	2:57am Jeff Conklin: Thanks for listening, everyone. Until we meet again...
	3:01am terribilia: night jeff. thanks
