Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

now depressed did not go tonight, was on the fence about going. |
![]() |
![]() So glad to hear, ELO is a top quality world class act. Not many drummers can play up to Bev Bevan. And bless Kelly Groucutt |

jake6573:
it os on to Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, than Deep Purple at Jones Beach Labor day weekend. Hope Ian Gillan is in good vocal form Last few times seen em he was the weak link. |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:41pm
Andrew S:
oh Ian cant hit those high notes anymore. the last time i saw him was about 15 years ago and you know that awww aww aww part in Child of time? I couldnt even do it as a kid let alone at his age, i could feel his tonsild bleeding |

Here is Wimps Bandcamp: thesewimps.bandcamp.com |
![]() |
![]() There were definitely some sections/songs that Jeff Lynne can't hit anymore but there was a great backup singer doubling/taking the lead as needed - and on camera too, they weren't trying to cover it up. |
![]() |
![]() Speaking of Pop Legends... I saw Glenn Tillbrook last night at City Winery! His teenage son opened (it was rough) and rejoined him and his pre-teen daughter playing keys for the encore! His voice has held up excellently, it must be noted. |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:47pm
Andrew S:
nah dont cover it up, just the way it goes, do your best as you reach your limittiions, doesnt ruin it for me its a live show, im not playing the record |
![]() |
![]() totally agree, Andrew |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:48pm
jake6573:
@Andrew s, would be shocked if he even attempted it, worth price of admission for Steve Morse (IMO). |
![]() |
![]() Wimps are great. |
![]() |
![]() backup singer also did a great job on the Roy Orbison part in the one Traveling Wilburys song they did last night |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:49pm
jake6573:
I'm going out on a limb and saying X the band is one of the wimps big influences |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:49pm
Andrew S:
haha well i am sure I attempted it many times as a younbg lad with headphones on, pity thr poor people around me |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:50pm
Andrew S:
what wilburys song did they do? |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:51pm
jake6573:
the wimps do rock ! |
![]() |
![]() I was afraid someone would ask that as soon as I typed that! The one with the chorus about someone to lean on...?? |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:53pm
steveL:
That bass! | |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:53pm
JakeGould:
The Traveling Wilburys’s “Handle With Care?” |
![]() |
![]() right?? |
![]() |
![]() that's it, Jake! |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:54pm
Andrew S:
yeah thats a nice track |
![]() |
![]() While we're talking oldies at the arenas gigs, I saw the Jeff Beck/Paul Rogers/Ann Wilson stop in Toronto a couple weeks ago. Missed Ann Wilson altogether. Paul Rogers's voice is near identical to the way everyone knows it. Jeff Beck is one of most singular guitarists on the planet. He's in great shape. |

Wed. 8/22/18 9:55pm
Andrew S:
the orbison chorus would be hard to substitute, it was pretty sweet. so is this set, sorry to distract from it |

And the ballgame is over, Mets Win ! |
![]() |
![]() hilarious lyric there "take your to-do list, send it to the moon." |
![]() |
![]() Jeff Beck/Paul Rogers would be an intriguing show. |
![]() |
![]() I'm not the biggest Wilburys fan so maybe not the best judge, but I thought the singer who sany the Orbison parts nailed it. |
![]() |
![]() Wimps lyrics are A+ across the board |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 9:58pm
Andrew S:
no me neither i wasnt a fan when it came out but now when i hear a song here and there i like them |
![]() |
![]() Although it is a tad slick, there's not a bad track on the first Willbury's album. And it's rife with humor, relaxed fun and great melodies. It's pretty great, actually. |
![]() |
![]() Meanwhile... Why did the Wimps cancel their BK show, EFD?! |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm

Love the Wimps Humor ! |

Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm

They might have seen that they sell $7 toast in Brooklyn. |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm
Andrew S:
i was going to say just ask them but i was still poretending that it is a live set ;) great stuff |
![]() |
![]() the one a couple of weeks ago? I didn't know they had, they recorded here that afternoon and were still planning on it when I saw them. |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:04pm

![]() |
![]() hey Dave! Thanks for chiming in! |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:07pm
David RAMM:
No problem! I don't think any of us have really listened to X too much but I see the comparison. I listened to the Australian X a bunch. | |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:09pm
Andrew S:
California band were the other X |

Wed. 8/22/18 10:10pm
Andrew S:
they were cool too, but like a rowboat compared to a destroyer. Plus Exene lost her marbles some years ago |
![]() |
![]() Hahaha... Whoops! I'm confusing the Wussies with the Wimps! |
![]() |
![]() And @Jake the Avo toast we sell at my BK coffee shop is $6.75, not $7! :-P |

jake6573:
Great Show EFD ! |
![]() |
![]() I'm going to go on record right now as never having been an X fan. |
![]() |
![]() There is a .25 charge to use the bathroom, however... |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:14pm
jake6573:
they were darlings of the critics, suffice to say thought they were great |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:15pm
JakeGould:
@Jeezy: Wait… Seriously? 25¢ to use the bathroom? |
![]() |
![]() I'm pretty sure he's joshing |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:17pm
Andrew S:
the guy from 7 seconds, kevin seconds? he was blogging about a tour he went on with exene a few years ago, she made him sleep in the car and shit, it was like reading les miserables, this was when she was touting some tea party stuff or something like that, i forgte cuz its not that important |

JakeGould:
Sorry to get into a toast discussion on this playlist. Will keep that in check. |
![]() |
![]() Good evening efd and everyone |
![]() |
![]() It's an open forum, Jake... For anything and everything! And actually our main Avo toast is indeed over $7. But I'm trying to get Ken to have Clay do some AM shows live from there! |
![]() |
![]() disco, yay |
![]() |
![]() Hey, who just called my favorite band "the other X" |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:34pm
JakeGould:
Clay should do a “Shame on You!” segment on $7 toast. |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:38pm
Andrew S:
no fighting it was just an opinion ;) |

![]() I wonder if another toast fad will replace the avocado. Cottage cheese toast? |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:44pm
Andrew S:
you have about 5 minutes to eat avocado between the time it is rock hard and rotten |
![]() |
![]() I think it's about time that orange marmalade toast makes a comeback. |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:48pm
Andrew S:
oh man i could go or that, its been ages |
![]() |
Wed. 8/22/18 10:49pm
Andrew S:
