SHOW #200
Mark is celebrating his 200th show here in the Underground Garage by playing two hours of some of his favorite tunes - both vintage and hot off the press



Picture

SEA CRUISE - As a nod to the folks heading out on the Underground Garage Cruise this coming week, Mark kicked off the show today with Robert Gordon and Link Wray's sizzling cover of the Frankie Ford classic.


Picture

LOOK OUT GIRLS (HERE WE COME) - Mark played this DD&B tune in first set and talked about touring with the lads in 66/67 in the Deep South and Hawaii. 
​

Picture
TEARS OF A CLOWN - For the second set, Mark selected this live version of Smokey Robinson singing with Little Steven at the American Music Honors event, held last year at the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. It was the Coolest Song in the World in the Underground Garage for the week of March 9th this year.
​

PSYCHOTIC REACTION 
- Mark played this Joey Dee and the Starlighters cover of the Count Five hit in set number 3. Who knew Joey and the boys could get psychedelic? Here's the cover and The Count Five performing it live


Picture
WE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO - Mark opened Set 4 with this tune by Chicago's Del-Vetts, and talked about how the Raiders' unfinished version of the song is still locked in the Columbia Records vaults.


Picture
ROCK ROMA ROCK IT - Mark chose this Scatman Crothers' 1958 tune for the fifth set. Remember his performance in Stephen King's The Shining?
​

Picture

IT'S ONLY ROCK AND ROLL (BUT I LIKE IT) - Mark played this Stones cover in Set Six, performed by the Brothers Osborne and The War and Treaty. Here they are doing it live on the CMA Awards.
​

Picture

SAY I DO' - Mark played this Jackie Wilson/Linda Hopkins tune in the seventh set today.


Picture

RIDE YOUR PONY - Mark picked this Raider cover of the Lee Dorsey hit for Set Eight. It was a special Record Store Day release in 1998, finally escaping from the Columbia Vaults where it had been held hostage since August, 1965. The video below has the incorrect release information, and it never appeared on the original Just Like Us.


Picture

DISNEY GIRLS - Mark played this live Bruce Johnston song at the end of the show, and wished Bruce the best as he transitions back to solo endeavors from his years with the Beach Boys. Bruce was an important part of Raider history, lending the group his talent as a producer, background singer, and keyboardist. And he was ALMOST a temporary Raider - deciding at the last minute to forego a tour in 1961 as a keyboard player subbing for Paul Revere, who was doing his alternate military duty as a cook in Oregon at a state hospital. The spot ended up being filled by....Leon Russell.

From the late Hal Blaines's FB page:

 “I think the least known Beach Boy, Bruce Johnston, was probably the most talented of the gang, along with Brian of course. Bruce (who came along later and isn't related to the others) and I first met when he was playing the organ on a session. I couldn't get over his incredible touch. He was a real unknown to the Wrecking Crew but you coul hear this mountain of talent pouring out of the Hammond B3. I knew it wouldn't be long before he would be a star in his own right. I always thought that if Bruce had gone out on his own instead of joining the Beach Boys he would have hit solo stardom”


THANKS to everyone who bid on Mark's memorabilia in the Julien's auction in November, and congratulations to the winners! We accidentally packed some acetates so they went to Hawaii instead of Julien's. We'll have Ryeland Allison transfer them after the holidays, so keep an eye on this website for news on their posting.
