Where Were You June 2, 1973-- Part 5

Again, that would be 40 years ago.  If you remember then, you're getting mighty old.

Finishing off with Bob Stroud's first installment of The Summer of 1973.  The next one will be July7th.

THE RIGHT THING TO DO--  CARLY SIMON--  From No Secret.  Played it right after the Rolling Stones because it was just over 40 years ago that Carly and Mick sang together on her first hit from No Secret, "You're So Vain."  (Was she singing about der Mick?)
NATURAL THING--  DOOBIE BROTHERS--  From the Captain and Me, lead-off selection.  (And one of those great deep tracks.)

WILDFLOWER--  SKYLARK--  Their one hit.  (So you know what that makes them.)
HOCUS POCUS--  FOCUS--  The full-blown version.  It was a hit in a shorter version.  (You've got to love who came up with the song and group names.)

MIDNIGHT CRUISER--  STEELY DAN--  From their debut album Can't Buy a Thrill with David Palmer on lead vocals.  They were actually on "Midnight Special" as a real live working touring bandbefore they packed it in and just became a studio band.  (A song we don't get to hear too often, unfortunately.)

FRANKENSTEIN--  EDGAR WINTER GROUP--The #1 song in Chicagoland, and an unlikely one. (This one also reminds me of that summer as I distinctly remember hearing it as we drove from Dekalb, Illinois, to Galena after our wedding reception.  This was about 2 AM and I was beginning to wonder if we would ever get there.)

IF CATS PERFORMED "CATS':  For no apparent reason, cast members would randomly run to the lobby, and then back to the stage at top speed.  They would then continue as if nothing had happened.
