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

What Were You Doing August 5, 1972?-- Part 2

Cpntinuing with our trip back 40 years ago, the Summer of 1972.

HOE DOWN--  EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER--  A decent deep track from Trilogy.  (OK, swing your partner....)
CONQUISTAFOR--  PROCUL HARUM--  Originally a part nof their debut album back in 1967 as a studio version and now, the live version is out and in the Top Ten here in Chicago.

LONG COOL WOMAN--  HOLLIES--  Who among us didn't think this was Creedence Clearwater the first time they heard it.  Just good old Allan Clarke the lone voice and the lead vocal.  (I thought CCR until Clarke started singing.  Definitely not JF.)
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP--  ARGENT--  Brand new record from Rod Argent and his namesake band from their upcoming album due in November, All Together.  AM radio played the three-minute edit.  This is the full six minute version.  (Bob must have had to use the bathroom.)

THICK AS A BRICK--  JETHRO TULL--  Earlier in the summer it had been the #1 album in Chicago.  Each sid eof the album was thirty minutes long..  Radio played an edit so it would get some airplay and there's your almost six minute version.  (Had a great time at the Tull concert at UGA.  Liz and Tom Smith drove down from NIU for it.)
YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM--  JIM CROCE--  First taste of a cat named Jim, Jim Croce.  (Sure miss this guy.)
