Steve Miller band for Book of Dreams and Jet Airliner
with the Wayback Machine. Set for the year nineteen seventy seven,
the year that a masterpiece was released and a song
that talked about human beings breaking down and nobody really caring.
That's up next, I'm Don Clark. Welcome to Don's Basement.
Speaker 21 (25:34):
It takes a special kind of genius to create music
that you can see. The Alan Parsons project I Robot
directed by a visionary with a totally unique vision. When
(26:02):
Alan Parsons engineered the Beatles Abbey Road and produced Al
Stewart's Euar of a Cat and Pink Floyd's Dark Side
of the Moon, he was preparing for a future that
would transcend Time by Robot the Alan Parsons Project on
Arister Records and g RT Tapes. A rock masterpiece in
colors you've never heard before.
Speaker 16 (26:24):
There's classic rock, there's village rock.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Then there's this place change.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You need that.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
This is John's basement, m.
Speaker 22 (27:10):
Preaking in the middle, my friend, I want to understand
the word that I say when I'm breaking.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
The middle mad.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
The mad about the word sway.
Speaker 16 (27:33):
And take back at with the mental help proba.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
That anybody else can see.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What's wrong with me?
Speaker 16 (27:47):
The wrong way and just printing.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
The grain band.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
A little my friend, the alcome, I understand the word.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
That I said with that grape.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Baw just a little boy.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
But then a lot of baking the same way.
Speaker 23 (28:52):
General of friends, you used to talk to me on
the air but told me it was good. Do you
never seen that kind of me?
Speaker 16 (29:06):
Isn't anyone there?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Accom just a masterpiece.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
And before he was an engineer for Abby Road and
for Dark Side of the Moon, he worked with a
couple of other English bands, including the Hollies, and he
got to be good friends with Alan Clark and he
enlisted Alan to take care of the vocals on Breakdown
from I Robot. That's the Alan Parsons project. Nineteen seventy seven.
We had a brand new album from these guys, and
there was always some confusion as to who they were
(30:49):
singing about. And Carrie Livgren, who wrote the song, said
that he was a big fan of Thomas Edison.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
It was about him.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
But as the years went by and he became more spiritual,
more and more so, Race came out about who this
song was really about. The album is Point of No
Return and this is Kansas and Portrait and he knew
in Don's basement.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
He had a thousand and he asked you made him
on his name.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
He lived a long way with the vision.
Speaker 19 (32:12):
Now that game would budget to be no se do
my a speaking.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
He was off on another way.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
The words that he sent were amistery.
Speaker 24 (32:23):
Nobody sure he would say, honey, knew.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
New mother than me of you? No one could say
a p.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Where was he going to He wasn't such a an
answer the nature of what we are. He was trying
to do it in new way.
Speaker 19 (32:45):
He was bad, that's a story, but nobody understood him.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
His numbers are not the way He's.
Speaker 20 (32:53):
Losing at the deepest thing game back that no one
the ravel todaybody knew and.
Speaker 2 (32:59):

Speaker 19 (33:01):

but be boring cold tell us he died.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
When he left us.
Speaker 19 (33:12):
The people cried, why don't you done with you? He
(34:10):
had a be rid idea, a glimpse of the master plan.
He can't see through the future. Truvison fly mad.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
But that's something he hadn't told us.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He died when he went on way in money.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
He could have been within us.
Speaker 16 (34:29):
Don't telling what people say.
Speaker 5 (34:31):

Speaker 9 (39:47):
A brand new album from Rush in nineteen seventy seven.
It was a follow up to twenty one to twelve
from a Farewell to Kings and Cinderella Man Don Clark
and Don's Baseman. We've got the way back machine dialed
up for the year nineteen seventy and we made a promise,
this here being the tenth anniversary, that we are gonna
dig just a little bit deeper on these albums and
(40:07):
grab some songs that never ever see the light of
day on the radio. This is one of them. And
it is told that those that travel the road have many,
many tales, some of those best left untold, except for
this one classic from Jackson Brown from Running on Empty
and Dot's Basement.
Speaker 12 (40:27):
Highways and Dance Song a good song takes flow right
about the move, and your dream about the storm.

Steve Miller band for Book of Dreams and Jet Airliner
with the Wayback Machine. Set for the year nineteen seventy seven,
the year that a masterpiece was released and a song
that talked about human beings breaking down and nobody really caring.
That's up next, I'm Don Clark. Welcome to Don's Basement.
Speaker 21 (25:34):
It takes a special kind of genius to create music
that you can see. The Alan Parsons project I Robot
directed by a visionary with a totally unique vision. When
(26:02):
Alan Parsons engineered the Beatles Abbey Road and produced Al
Stewart's Euar of a Cat and Pink Floyd's Dark Side
of the Moon, he was preparing for a future that
would transcend Time by Robot the Alan Parsons Project on
Arister Records and g RT Tapes. A rock masterpiece in
colors you've never heard before.
Speaker 16 (26:24):
There's classic rock, there's village rock.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Then there's this place change.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You need that.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
This is John's basement, m.
Speaker 22 (27:10):
Preaking in the middle, my friend, I want to understand
the word that I say when I'm breaking.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
The middle mad.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
The mad about the word sway.
Speaker 16 (27:33):
And take back at with the mental help proba.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
That anybody else can see.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What's wrong with me?
Speaker 16 (27:47):
The wrong way and just printing.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
The grain band.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
A little my friend, the alcome, I understand the word.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
That I said with that grape.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Baw just a little boy.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
But then a lot of baking the same way.
Speaker 23 (28:52):
General of friends, you used to talk to me on
the air but told me it was good. Do you
never seen that kind of me?
Speaker 16 (29:06):
Isn't anyone there?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Accom just a masterpiece.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
And before he was an engineer for Abby Road and
for Dark Side of the Moon, he worked with a
couple of other English bands, including the Hollies, and he
got to be good friends with Alan Clark and he
enlisted Alan to take care of the vocals on Breakdown
from I Robot. That's the Alan Parsons project. Nineteen seventy seven.
We had a brand new album from these guys, and
there was always some confusion as to who they were
(30:49):
singing about. And Carrie Livgren, who wrote the song, said
that he was a big fan of Thomas Edison.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
It was about him.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
But as the years went by and he became more spiritual,
more and more so, Race came out about who this
song was really about. The album is Point of No
Return and this is Kansas and Portrait and he knew
in Don's basement.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
He had a thousand and he asked you made him
on his name.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
He lived a long way with the vision.
Speaker 19 (32:12):
Now that game would budget to be no se do
my a speaking.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
He was off on another way.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
The words that he sent were amistery.
Speaker 24 (32:23):
Nobody sure he would say, honey, knew.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
New mother than me of you? No one could say
a p.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Where was he going to He wasn't such a an
answer the nature of what we are. He was trying
to do it in new way.
Speaker 19 (32:45):
He was bad, that's a story, but nobody understood him.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
His numbers are not the way He's.
Speaker 20 (32:53):
Losing at the deepest thing game back that no one
the ravel todaybody knew and.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Knew mother me you.
Speaker 19 (33:01):
No I did see ah, I have come, I did die,
but be boring cold tell us he died.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
When he left us.
Speaker 19 (33:12):
The people cried, why don't you done with you? He
(34:10):
had a be rid idea, a glimpse of the master plan.
He can't see through the future. Truvison fly mad.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
But that's something he hadn't told us.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He died when he went on way in money.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
He could have been within us.
Speaker 16 (34:29):
Don't telling what people say.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Anybody knew, he knew, bother me be a you. No
one could see him.
Speaker 11 (34:37):

Speaker 9 (39:47):
A brand new album from Rush in nineteen seventy seven.
It was a follow up to twenty one to twelve
from a Farewell to Kings and Cinderella Man Don Clark
and Don's Baseman. We've got the way back machine dialed
up for the year nineteen seventy and we made a promise,
this here being the tenth anniversary, that we are gonna
dig just a little bit deeper on these albums and
(40:07):
grab some songs that never ever see the light of
day on the radio. This is one of them. And
it is told that those that travel the road have many,
many tales, some of those best left untold, except for
this one classic from Jackson Brown from Running on Empty
and Dot's Basement.
