	9:28pm slugluv1313: WNEW 102.7 FM here in NYC area -- 1975, DAMN i feel old
	9:28pm Tome: he OWNED it ,, and a great guitar player too !<>!
	9:28pm ultradamno: I remember reading an X interview in which Billy Zoom observed that Peter Frampton was the only person who could claim to be alive and lack credibility, or words to that effect
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: Kat, ha, awesome!
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, yep, this my record that I bought (almost) 45 years ago.
	9:28pm prof.fuzz: @efd I cannot imagine it would be even close.
	9:28pm Chop Scott: I believe that he used an Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat? Scott W.?
	9:29pm efd: HERE IT COMES!
	9:29pm Handy Haversack: God, I can recall specific times in the car listening to this. Specific red lights where we SCREAMED ALONG!!!
	9:29pm Stevel: So. Fucking. Cool.
	9:30pm ultradamno: Yep, and I believe the only people to have used the effect justifiably well are Rufus and Chaka on Tell Me Something Good
	9:30pm slugluv1313: WOW efd -- AMAZING!
	9:30pm listener 126464: turn the 8-track over
	9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: This one is a lot of fun, but I think my favorite part is here about a minute or so before the finale.

	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: @ultradamno Zapp & Roger!!!
	9:31pm Robbie Darling: Mitch was listening to this before the shit hit the fan.
	9:31pm Eugene R.: OK, there is the 1970s musically summed up. If you don't like this, you just don't get the 1970s.
	9:32pm Handy Haversack: APPLAUSE
	9:32pm Stevel: Nice
	9:32pm Tome: .. agrees with the above almost wholeheartedly ,, this could not ber a better example of a live record alone that's for sure !<>!
	9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: <raising the lighter>
	9:32pm prof.fuzz: wooot!
	9:33pm ultradamno: The 70s summed up musically is The Modern Dance. On this I will not be budging.
	9:33pm PaulRobeson1920: What a good talk box it is!
	9:33pm Tome: you could play Close to the Edge from "yessongs" that will do it lolz !
	9:33pm prof.fuzz: glad I listened to Live at Leeds earlier this week too. That's one helluva live album.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, I know standards have degraded this past year, but I now actually feel like I've been to a concert with you all. Want to go outside for a cigarette?
	9:33pm Stevel: That was rather bold, for a WFMU DJ. Or were you flying in the face of non-conformity, thereby, not conforming. Or something.
	9:34pm Mister Dobalina: EFd, the man ....
	9:34pm BH: if you played Do You Feel Like We Do at half-speed, you could have played it for 28 1/2 minutes
	9:34pm Kat in Chicago: Hopefully Scott took advantage for a nice potty break
	9:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: 45, that's like nine in dog years or something.
	9:34pm slugluv1313: YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY thank you efd, i think that Peter Frampton cut REALLY helped to heal a truly traumatic day :)
	9:35pm Scott Williams: Chop Scott, you're the top gear authority, Brother! Tho i will take this opportunity to once again thank Nutley Sam for loaning me his talkbox so I could play a Joe Walsh song a few years ago!
	9:35pm Kat in Chicago: @slugluv It was more effective than I would have expected!
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: I'll ask Bagpipe, Ken.
	9:35pm Tome: still have the Cassette one of the few left from that time,, would sound better on AM radio now !<!
	9:35pm ultradamno: I imagine Frampton felt like felt, like a muppet. So I did not feel as he did.
	9:36pm John L: Some of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded about 20 minutes from my house, at the Long Island Arena. Didn't make it to that show, though. I was probably at a Good Rats concert.
	9:36pm Eugene R.: @Ultradamno: If Mr. efd wishes to drop some Pere Ubu on us, I shall not object.
	9:36pm jeanli: ohhhhhhh my gawd. ok frampton was my first concert at MSG when I was a freshman in high school. SMH
	9:36pm ultradamno: Cheap Trick At Budokan was up there too.
	9:36pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- YES! totally!
	9:37pm Tinley Park Randy: Why do comments sometimes not show?
	9:37pm Kat in Chicago: wow jeanli!
	9:37pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, HP Ken, Handy, Parq, 126464, SteveL, all. Have I mentioned lately that I love you all? Because I do.
	9:37pm drowsy: The applause at the end of the Frampton cut made me very nostalgic for shared experiences in a space. That was fun!
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack. Hey. Right. Back. Atcha, pal. Right back atcha.
	9:38pm prof.fuzz: @ultradamno Yup. Sure was/is.

	9:39pm drowsy: Upon review - what Handy said.
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, drowsy!
	9:41pm Stevel: Jack: [virtual hug]
	9:41pm slugluv1313: @jeanii -- oooooo jealous!!! beleive it or not, i grew up in NJ, but never got to go to MSG for a concert! on the other hand, my first concert was Patti Smith at Princeton University -- 1976, i think?
	9:42pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: I think I know the only song appropriate for what’s happened today in D.C.: 3rd Bass’ “The Gas Face”… All of them get the gas face!
	9:42pm slugluv1313: @Hoboken Jack -- we all love you too!!!
	9:43pm ultradamno: I will say, on the events of the day, I declare today's song "Fanatics" by Minutemen
	9:44pm ultradamno: With this gif twitter.com...
	9:44pm Stevel: Thanks for the oasis. Events somehow unfolded as anticipated, but most of us were good enough to not assume it would happen.
	9:44pm slugluv1313: YES thank you so much for the oasis, efd :)
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Grateful to be here, and proud and grateful to hear your words, efd.
	9:45pm benedeb: Oasis appreciation notification - thanks EFD!
	9:45pm Mike W: YES Evan, deeply felt and thank you very much for all of it. Say whatever you wanna say between songs! I think I speak for all of me when I say I’m here for all of it.
	9:46pm efd: wait a minute, did I miss out on some Hoboken Jack love?? Love you Hoboken Jack!
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - Aha, I'm not familiar with that one. I'll look into that a little later.
	9:48pm Mike W: Oh man! Your playlist note means that I was 8 when my brother, who was 13, brought home Frampton Comes Alive! and played it to absolute death
	9:49pm slugluv1313: so true! yeah, my plan was to have a productive "get stuff done" day -- put on the news radio station just to hear the results of the Georgia elections, hear how the Electoral College process was going, etc. -- and got a huge dose of WTF??!! instead -- so i am SO GRATEFUL for this truly safe space that is WFMU
	9:51pm efd: @Mike W that makes me a few years older than your brother!
	9:52pm Ajax: Latitude!! Hell yes. Also I feel like you do.
	9:54pm PaulRobeson1920: I second Slugluv1313’s sentiments! Thanks efd! and WFMU!
	9:55pm ultradamno: That was helligant
	9:55pm efd: thanks for the kind words everyone, much appreciated!
	9:56pm Mike W: @efd you come off much younger, for the rec

	10:18pm efd: Hi Pete, thanks for dropping by!
	10:18pm BH: note from the outside world, the Senate part of the AZ vote was one-sided (93 against the objection, 6 for). The House will eventually shut up soon
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Yowza, Floor Kiss was a smoker! pgalub, lot of that going around, friend.
	10:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy. This song is hitting the spot. Pretty large spot at the moment
	10:25pm ultradamno: I liked Mars' 78 album a lot.
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: 'Tis a fine spot, Phillippe.
	10:26pm John L: Wow. I just put the Richard Shirk in my cart. That was great.
	10:28pm Handy Haversack: Dee from Bush Tetras? Nice! Did not realize. He's the best!
	10:29pm Phillippe Bastille: I knew today was gonna be off the hook when I woke up this morning and found that my electric toothbrush wasn’t charged and it took me a minute to realize there was still a way to brush my teeth...
	10:33pm Mike W: hey, Jorge is a buddy of mine, all right!
	10:34pm Handy Haversack: All non-WFMU aspects of 2021 not all they were cracked up to be so far.
	10:35pm ultradamno: Well, Pat Place is the best, but Dee is pretty cool
	10:37pm efd: @Handy and @ultradamno you're both wrong, Cynthia Sley is the best but Pat and Dee are very close seconds.
	10:37pm Scott Williams: Handy, don't forget, things can always get worse; but remember, today was also a Sunny Day in Georgia!
	10:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Nothing like having a place to soak ones head in warm music
	10:38pm Handy Haversack: Bass player Val is also, let's be real, pretty freaking great.
	10:39pm a polished polish lady: Why can’t I click the heart on this track? Oh because I already did like six times
	10:40pm Handy Haversack: Heard, Scott.
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Iceberg A68a broke up and didn't maul seals and penguins on South Georgia Island, so that's something good in 2021. www.twitter.com...
	10:46pm Handy Haversack: I'll take it, Ken!
	10:49pm Andres: Galaga was the preferred game at our local 7-11.

	10:49pm spodiodi: hello, efd + funk fiends
	10:50pm ultradamno: There was a Pac Man Fever one, I know.
	10:50pm slugluv1313: love love love to those seals and penguins -- thanks, KFHP!
	10:50pm efd: oh hey speaking of ALL THE BUSH TETRAS, who are all great when you come right down to it, they're doing a streamed performance for Le Poisson Rouge in a couple of weeks: lpr.tv...

	11:16pm wenzo llc.: @handy... I watched the sequel recently... I barely remember it... I think they're still Scottish...
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, it was a far cry from the original, wenzo.
	11:18pm Stevel: Liking the feel of Mini Skirt. Rough and a touch angry. Fits the mood!
	11:18pm Bri The Beatnik: Funny you should say that! I was just talking about Trainspotting earlier!
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: Yay for cat dedications
	11:19pm ultradamno: There's a sequel? Is it better than Repo Man sequel Repo Chick? (yeah, that's real)
	11:20pm Roberto: But Dusty shouldn't go out tonight! Unless he's supervised.
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: It is, ultradamno. But maybe not as good as Repo Man I. Definitely not as good as Trainspotting.
	11:21pm ultradamno: Is it Carry On Trainspotting or Trainspotting 2: This Time It's Crack?
	11:22pm efd: oh he's not going out, tonight or any night!
	11:22pm spodiodi: guessing the latter, ultra
	11:22pm spodiodi: (so probably the former)
	11:23pm Handy Haversack: PATH Trainspotting.

	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: All this election mumbo-jumbo in Congress on CNN tonight looks complicated. Next time, can they just have two candidates duke it out in a cage match Thunderdome kind of thing? It would speed up the process considerably. Thanks, efd. Tape them cables down!

	9:21pm Chop Scott: A great live recording--very solid! Cheers EFD!!
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Oh dear. Frampton takes me back to a very specific point in my adolescence. Smiling and squirming at the same damn time.

	9:28pm Tome: he OWNED it ,, and a great guitar player too !<>!
	9:28pm ultradamno: I remember reading an X interview in which Billy Zoom observed that Peter Frampton was the only person who could claim to be alive and lack credibility, or words to that effect
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: Kat, ha, awesome!
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, yep, this my record that I bought (almost) 45 years ago.
	9:28pm prof.fuzz: @efd I cannot imagine it would be even close.
	9:28pm Chop Scott: I believe that he used an Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat? Scott W.?
	9:29pm efd: HERE IT COMES!
	9:29pm Handy Haversack: God, I can recall specific times in the car listening to this. Specific red lights where we SCREAMED ALONG!!!
	9:29pm Stevel: So. Fucking. Cool.
	9:30pm ultradamno: Yep, and I believe the only people to have used the effect justifiably well are Rufus and Chaka on Tell Me Something Good
	9:30pm slugluv1313: WOW efd -- AMAZING!
	9:30pm listener 126464: turn the 8-track over
	9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: This one is a lot of fun, but I think my favorite part is here about a minute or so before the finale.

	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: @ultradamno Zapp & Roger!!!
	9:31pm Robbie Darling: Mitch was listening to this before the shit hit the fan.
	9:31pm Eugene R.: OK, there is the 1970s musically summed up. If you don't like this, you just don't get the 1970s.
	9:32pm Handy Haversack: APPLAUSE
	9:32pm Stevel: Nice
	9:32pm Tome: .. agrees with the above almost wholeheartedly ,, this could not ber a better example of a live record alone that's for sure !<>!
	9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: <raising the lighter>
	9:32pm prof.fuzz: wooot!
	9:33pm ultradamno: The 70s summed up musically is The Modern Dance. On this I will not be budging.
	9:33pm PaulRobeson1920: What a good talk box it is!
	9:33pm Tome: you could play Close to the Edge from "yessongs" that will do it lolz !
	9:33pm prof.fuzz: glad I listened to Live at Leeds earlier this week too. That's one helluva live album.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, I know standards have degraded this past year, but I now actually feel like I've been to a concert with you all. Want to go outside for a cigarette?
	9:33pm Stevel: That was rather bold, for a WFMU DJ. Or were you flying in the face of non-conformity, thereby, not conforming. Or something.
	9:34pm Mister Dobalina: EFd, the man ....
	9:34pm BH: if you played Do You Feel Like We Do at half-speed, you could have played it for 28 1/2 minutes
	9:34pm Kat in Chicago: Hopefully Scott took advantage for a nice potty break
	9:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: 45, that's like nine in dog years or something.
	9:34pm slugluv1313: YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY thank you efd, i think that Peter Frampton cut REALLY helped to heal a truly traumatic day :)
	9:35pm Scott Williams: Chop Scott, you're the top gear authority, Brother! Tho i will take this opportunity to once again thank Nutley Sam for loaning me his talkbox so I could play a Joe Walsh song a few years ago!
	9:35pm Kat in Chicago: @slugluv It was more effective than I would have expected!
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: I'll ask Bagpipe, Ken.
	9:35pm Tome: still have the Cassette one of the few left from that time,, would sound better on AM radio now !<!
	9:35pm ultradamno: I imagine Frampton felt like felt, like a muppet. So I did not feel as he did.
	9:36pm John L: Some of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded about 20 minutes from my house, at the Long Island Arena. Didn't make it to that show, though. I was probably at a Good Rats concert.
	9:36pm Eugene R.: @Ultradamno: If Mr. efd wishes to drop some Pere Ubu on us, I shall not object.
	9:36pm jeanli: ohhhhhhh my gawd. ok frampton was my first concert at MSG when I was a freshman in high school. SMH
	9:36pm ultradamno: Cheap Trick At Budokan was up there too.
	9:36pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- YES! totally!
	9:37pm Tinley Park Randy: Why do comments sometimes not show?
	9:37pm Kat in Chicago: wow jeanli!
	9:37pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, HP Ken, Handy, Parq, 126464, SteveL, all. Have I mentioned lately that I love you all? Because I do.
	9:37pm drowsy: The applause at the end of the Frampton cut made me very nostalgic for shared experiences in a space. That was fun!
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack. Hey. Right. Back. Atcha, pal. Right back atcha.
	9:38pm prof.fuzz: @ultradamno Yup. Sure was/is.

	9:40pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, drowsy!
	9:41pm Stevel: Jack: [virtual hug]
	9:41pm slugluv1313: @jeanii -- oooooo jealous!!! beleive it or not, i grew up in NJ, but never got to go to MSG for a concert! on the other hand, my first concert was Patti Smith at Princeton University -- 1976, i think?
	9:42pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: I think I know the only song appropriate for what’s happened today in D.C.: 3rd Bass’ “The Gas Face”… All of them get the gas face!
	9:42pm slugluv1313: @Hoboken Jack -- we all love you too!!!
	9:43pm ultradamno: I will say, on the events of the day, I declare today's song "Fanatics" by Minutemen
	9:44pm ultradamno: With this gif twitter.com...
	9:44pm Stevel: Thanks for the oasis. Events somehow unfolded as anticipated, but most of us were good enough to not assume it would happen.
	9:44pm slugluv1313: YES thank you so much for the oasis, efd :)
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Grateful to be here, and proud and grateful to hear your words, efd.
	9:45pm benedeb: Oasis appreciation notification - thanks EFD!
	9:45pm Mike W: YES Evan, deeply felt and thank you very much for all of it. Say whatever you wanna say between songs! I think I speak for all of me when I say I’m here for all of it.
	9:46pm efd: wait a minute, did I miss out on some Hoboken Jack love?? Love you Hoboken Jack!
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - Aha, I'm not familiar with that one. I'll look into that a little later.
	9:48pm Mike W: Oh man! Your playlist note means that I was 8 when my brother, who was 13, brought home Frampton Comes Alive! and played it to absolute death
	9:49pm slugluv1313: so true! yeah, my plan was to have a productive "get stuff done" day -- put on the news radio station just to hear the results of the Georgia elections, hear how the Electoral College process was going, etc. -- and got a huge dose of WTF??!! instead -- so i am SO GRATEFUL for this truly safe space that is WFMU
	9:51pm efd: @Mike W that makes me a few years older than your brother!
	9:52pm Ajax: Latitude!! Hell yes. Also I feel like you do.
	9:54pm PaulRobeson1920: I second Slugluv1313’s sentiments! Thanks efd! and WFMU!
	9:55pm ultradamno: That was helligant

	10:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy. This song is hitting the spot. Pretty large spot at the moment

	10:25pm Handy Haversack: 'Tis a fine spot, Phillippe.
	10:26pm John L: Wow. I just put the Richard Shirk in my cart. That was great.
	10:28pm Handy Haversack: Dee from Bush Tetras? Nice! Did not realize. He's the best!
	10:29pm Phillippe Bastille: I knew today was gonna be off the hook when I woke up this morning and found that my electric toothbrush wasn’t charged and it took me a minute to realize there was still a way to brush my teeth...
	10:33pm Mike W: hey, Jorge is a buddy of mine, all right!
	10:34pm Handy Haversack: All non-WFMU aspects of 2021 not all they were cracked up to be so far.
	10:35pm ultradamno: Well, Pat Place is the best, but Dee is pretty cool
	10:37pm efd: @Handy and @ultradamno you're both wrong, Cynthia Sley is the best but Pat and Dee are very close seconds.
	10:37pm Scott Williams: Handy, don't forget, things can always get worse; but remember, today was also a Sunny Day in Georgia!
	10:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Nothing like having a place to soak ones head in warm music
	10:38pm Handy Haversack: Bass player Val is also, let's be real, pretty freaking great.
	10:39pm a polished polish lady: Why can’t I click the heart on this track? Oh because I already did like six times
	10:40pm Handy Haversack: Heard, Scott.
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Iceberg A68a broke up and didn't maul seals and penguins on South Georgia Island, so that's something good in 2021. www.twitter.com...

	11:16pm wenzo llc.: @handy... I watched the sequel recently... I barely remember it... I think they're still Scottish...
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, it was a far cry from the original, wenzo.
	11:18pm Stevel: Liking the feel of Mini Skirt. Rough and a touch angry. Fits the mood!

	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: Yay for cat dedications

	11:20pm Roberto: But Dusty shouldn't go out tonight! Unless he's supervised.
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: It is, ultradamno. But maybe not as good as Repo Man I. Definitely not as good as Trainspotting.
	11:21pm ultradamno: Is it Carry On Trainspotting or Trainspotting 2: This Time It's Crack?
	11:22pm efd: oh he's not going out, tonight or any night!
	11:22pm spodiodi: guessing the latter, ultra

	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: All this election mumbo-jumbo in Congress on CNN tonight looks complicated. Next time, can they just have two candidates duke it out in a cage match Thunderdome kind of thing? It would speed up the process considerably. Thanks, efd. Tape them cables down!
