Cassidy is pretty mediocre to be fair. Saw him in concert once … not moved.

So David's Darlin isn't Bruce's favorite?

I worked at my college radio station at the time Surf's Up came out. Our music director had scrawled on the back of Sunflower, "Side 2 is bearable," or maybe it was Side 1. Such was the BB's status at the time. When they played at our school, though, Carl and Al came wandering through our station and I was handed an acetate of "Long Promised Road" I understood to just have been delivered to them. I *may* have been the first DJ anywhere to play it on the air. Dunno for sure.

That is awesome. Did you get a chance to talk to them at all?

No, unfortunately. I was on the air when they passed by the broadcast booth. A couple of minutes later, I was handed the acetate. Carl look a lot more imposing up close than I expected.

I remember that SU was sympathetically written up in RS with Carl explaining a lot of the process on LPR and FF etc.. SU did not generate the buzz of the old days but I seem to remember it getting a significant bump up over the recent past amongst the college crowd of which I was one. Do I remember any of that correctly?

Cam - you're correct. It got "buzz" of a non-traditional, non-commercial, and non-AM radio sort. It reminds me of a brush fire. Slow, constant and not explosive. FM had paid attention to Brian's Surf's Up and kept it in the discussion, at least where I was, and in college as well. And they were already on the college campuses to network that.
And, I like to think of the 73/74 Concert album as the one for the college students, because it captures exactly that era and feel, at least for me.

Ya Cam...I'd say that's reasonably accurate. The album also got airplay on free-form FM and campus radio stations. I'd say that THAT was at least as important as the words contained in RS Mag. No hit songs on Top 40 radio but for some...it was a 'cool' album to hear and/or own with SOME of the college crowd.

I was typing as 'filled' was filing. Seems we agree.

LPR charted fair around Michigan and SDT went to at least #7 for a few weeks in Boston.
