Continuing...
TWO-BIT MANCHILD-- NEIL DIAMOND-- follow up to "Brooklyn Roads"
PICTURES OF MATCHSTICK MEN-- STATUS QUO-- A band out of the UK. Huge top ten hit in Chicago.
I NEED LOVE-- THIRD BOOTH-- Local group out of Pekin, Illinois
IN-A GADD-Da-DA-VIDA-- IRON BUTTERFLY-- We didn't see this one coming. This album was about 2 weeks old at this time. It was their second album and the title track took up one complete side. You didn't see that too often back in those days. Seventeen minutes plus. Hands down one of the most significant riffs in all of rock and roll.
GRAZING IN THE GRASS-- HUGH MASAKELA-- featured a trumpet. Played on the BYRDs' "So You Want to Be A Rock and Roll Star."
HUSH-- DEEP PURPLE-- first taste of new UK band. We heard it the previous year by Billy Joe Royal.
THE HORSE-- CLIFF NOBLES AND CO.-- another instrumental
YOU KEEP ME HANGING ON-- VANILLA FUDGE-- Originally released Summer of '67. Minor hit. Rereleased 1968-- Top Ten.
HELLO, I LOVE YOU-- DOORS-- Had been written in 1966, 2 years earlier, but not on vinyl until "Waiting for the Sun."
Boy, These Sure Bring Back the Memories. --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
