Out of nowhere....

[Railrunner130]

Ever hear a song you've heard a thousand times and never thought much about it? Then all of the sudden, you hear it for the first time in forever and it really bowls you over? I had one of those a few days ago.

The song-
"The Dreamer" off of the Montrose "Paper Money" album.

What a great tune! It has a certain Balance-like volume of energy to it. I wonder if it has been played live in recent years?

I haven't checked out the setlists from any of the Montrose reunion shows from a few years ago, but they may have done it then.

I get the "rediscovery" thing happening with songs when my students bring them in and want to play them. I have no choice but to listen to the song very closely in order remember/figure them out. Songs I was otherwise completely bored with are suddenly fresh for me again.

For awhile, for no reason at all, I couldn't get enough of Top of the World version off Sam's live album.

The Wabos always did TOTW well. I first saw them do it at a free outdoor show in downtown Minneapolis in '99. There were about 50,000 gathered around outside on a hot July evening, and Sam was saying he really wanted to span his whole career in his live sets. Then he went: "So, Vic... if we were to hit about eight years ago, what are we gonna do?" Vic kicked into TOTW and everyone went nuts.

That whole CD rocks!!!

[Bad to the Bone]

I'm pretty sure the only song Montrose did when they were with Sam a couple of years ago from Paper Money was The Connection, I could be wrong but that's how I remember it.

I've got a boot of Sam from 97 and he does Not Fade Away and I was rocking that for along time, it's only about 2 minutes long but it's cool as hell. I always love hearing any version of Judgement day and lately I've been really, really into Humans Being...I'm in the minority but I didn't like that song for awhile now I'm really digging it.

[Ain't Talkin' Bout' Love]

Paper Money itself has been huge with me lately, the title track and I've Got The Fire. I also love their cover of Underground.

Give to Live has been on my mind lately. Probably b/c of recent events here at home.

crossing over..... & wishing they would have released that as a single... I think it would have been a huge hit...... sigh...

[AVH Blues]

Both Sides Now- M2M version got a lot of play from me a few months back and I probably had not listen to the song since the CD came out.

Yeah, that happened to me with Van Halen 3. At first I didn't take to it, but after putting it down for several years I picked it back up again the other day and.......nope........wait.........yup, it still sucks donkey nuts.
