It was Yo La Tengo enjoying themselves with some psychedelic sounds to kick off this show, which led to the Rolling Stones from the heart of the psychedelic era in 1967 and then on to Prince grafting that sound to his pop/funk from what the inevitable march of time now makes clear was early in his career. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings offered a nice cover of an old Shuggie Otis tune, one of the early masters of psychedelic funk, and then we heard a track from one of the originators of that sound, Sly & the Family Stone. Then it was a slice of 21st-century Philly soul from David Byrne bringing us to Lushlife's timeless hip-hop from his summertime release.

The unraveling of a relationship set to a wash of guitars from Mission of Burma is where this set began, followed by John Doe with some help from Kathleen Edwards attempting to make a connection and Neko Case covering a Jeff Barry-Ellie Greenwich tune about attempting to sever one in order to save another. From there we heard Bruce Springsteen keeping hope alive, which led to the Boss joining Rosanne Cash for one from her new disc that's coming from a place where the dream has disappeared. The Pretenders in a philosophical mood brought on Mike Ness looking forward to the future from a not-so-promising present, which led to Johnny Cash staying focused on the here and now, and then joining Bob Dylan for a reminiscence about a hometown girl.

A new one from the Clientele has a rhythm that conjured up an old Monkees track, which often comes to mind when I hear the Helio Sequence tune that opened this section. Bebel Gilberto gave the rhythm a South American flavor, and from there we heard a classic in that style from Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd. James Hunter added a little modern-day r&b, and the pizzacato strings on that one recalled an old favorite from Buddy Holly. Then we heard She & Him borrowing that instantly recognizable Wall of Sound drumbeat, which is how we ended up with Andy Kim covering a Ronettes tune.

It was time for a bit of a stroll with Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3 to open this final set, and then A Band of Bees had us floating in the clouds before the Beatles advised us to serenely "float down stream." From there Super Furry Animals created a similar sonic environment, and that led to one from the new Big Pink disc that did the same even as it emphasized the beat a little more. David Bowie maintained that feel before Air took the sound in a lighter direction with some keyboards that recalled an old Nicky Hopkins-led track from Quicksilver Messenger Service, which is where the plug was pulled on this program.

Here's another one from the Rolling Stones c. 1967 (despite what the headline says)
