Good Listening: Georgia Satellites – Peabody’s Down Under – 12/11/88
This past week, Georgia Satellites singer Dan Baird turned 55 years young. Baird hasn't been a part of the Sats for nearly 20 years now, and in that time, he's been making a steady stream of records.
Good ones.
Dan Baird - I Love You Period (live on Letterman)
First up came a couple of solo albums, followed by a couple of albums with the all-star Yayhoos project, and bringing things current in 2008, Baird unleashed one of his best albums yet with his latest group Dan Baird & Homemade Sin. Leave it to Baird to make sure that classic rock stations everywhere are properly immortalized for bringing us those "Two-fer Tuesdays" with a song called appropriately enough, "Two For Tuesday."
Let's go back 20 years though, and join Dan onstage with the Satellites in Cleveland at the old Peabody's Down Under. The show was broadcast by WMMS and I got a copy from a listener that recorded that night's broadcast to cassette. Thanks to that random Clevelander, we've got lightning captured in a bottle with this performance, which finds the band celebrating Dan's birthday in the only way they know how - on stage.
Listening to this show, you'll get a bit of Xmas cheer and how about a Ramones cover too?
You got it.
P.S. - somewhere Ann is smiling because I finally stopped slacking and made zip files for this download!
P.S.S. - Buy every CD/album/cassette/8-Track that Dan Baird has ever been a part of. You won't be sorry.
