Listener comments!
	9:07pm Julie M: If you ask me, there's a reason it always starts with the seventies...
	9:09pm JakeGould: It’s sinful.
	9:14pm JakeGould: This is too rock and roll crazy.
	9:15pm Alex of Chicago: shredders
	9:18pm dano59: There has to be a reason? That was the era in which I was mostly raised on radio, but I still relate more to the cultural explosion of the '60s.
	9:22pm JakeGould: I for one mainly see the 1980s as an amazing era because that is when I was a teenager.
	9:24pm listener 126464: i'll drink to that
	9:24pm fleep: Western Civilization peaked in 1969. But the end times can be kicky.
	9:26pm JakeGould: Love beach!
	9:27pm ?: Love Beach - I've seen the cover so many times but never heard the song.
	9:27pm dano59: That's how it works Jake ... I kind of devote all my own explorations to the 60s but! Thx to folks like Evan I get to discover things my AM Top 40
	9:31pm medson: It does look like a Bee Gees album cover
	9:32pm Mailman Tom: That's funny, Evan.
	9:37pm Stevel: So, were they goofing with that cover, didn't care or had too much cocaine? My phone won't auto fill "cocaine". Jesus.
	9:40pm Stevel: I grew up on top 40 and am rock from 1970 through 75. Top 40 was a relatively broad category. Alice Cooper was my real rock and roll entry drug. School's Out, in fifth grade.
	9:41pm JakeGould: “Love Beach” gear: http2.mlstatic.com... And here: screen13cutoutmusicmania.files.wordpress.com...
	9:42pm efd: your phone is so straight-edge! He didn't really elaborate on the cover, my guess it was mainly the latter two of your three possibilities.
	9:42pm medson: @efd how may people came out to that show. great story btw.
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: Rats, sounds like I missed Carl Palmer chat.
	9:43pm efd: i think capacity of the auditorium is 400-450 and it was pretty full but not sold out as far as I could tell.
	9:43pm DC: Sounding great, enjoyied the whips. Some nice guitarwork, and some subtle creative chordsmanship with the 1 6m 4 3
	9:48pm efd: thanks DC, I'll take your word for it on those chord changes! :D Kat, you did indeed! The archive will fill you in later.
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: It'll have to. I don't even remember what "Love Beach" sounds like.
	9:50pm efd: it sounds GREAT
	9:54pm Mister Dobalina: Some great spinnin' efd, as usual.
	9:59pm medson: Bummed I'm missing record fair, but happy to know I won't be spending a ton on records : )
	10:03pm efd: missing the record fair is definitely a money-saving event
	10:03pm John from Madison: Great, when you said a later Yes song that's the first one that came to mind.. Thanks
	10:11pm dano59: The fair is there for what you missed out on last Saturday
	10:13pm dano59: I don't think I've ever heard Love Beach but I was a fan of the ELP bombast via Works 1
	10:14pm melinda: I remember this but haven't thought of it in a long time. Nice.
	10:15pm dano59: Oh man I LURV 999. Grazie!
	10:23pm efd: @dano59 (and melinda) my pleasure!
	10:24pm efd: dano you probably would have enjoyed the version of "Fanfare For The Common Man" the other night, complete with epic 15-minute drum solo
	10:29pm medson: Good night, catch the rest on the archives. Show is sounding great Evan
	10:29pm DouglasInDallas: That's a freakin sweet jam!
	10:29pm dano59: Well, maybe not the drum solo, efd. Life's too short.
