Battle of the Bands Update

Manfred Mann

No upsets this week in the Battle of the Bands on Dr. John's Record Shelf. We had two Round Two pairings in the Teddy Boy Bracket, where the no. 1 seeded Rolling Stones knocked off Mott the Hoople (8) while Manfred Mann (4) took care of Free (12). These winners will face off in Round Three.

The Rolling Stones

The songs played this week included "Street Fighting Man" by the Stones, "All the Young Dudes" by Mott, "The Mighty Quinn" from Manfred Mann, and "The Stealer" by Free. The Stones and Manfred Mann join the Who and Moody Blues as groups moving on to the next round. Next week's matches will see Led Zeppelin and "D'Yer Mak'er" facing the Zombies with "She's Not There" while the Small Faces pitch "Itchycoo Park" against "Can't You See That She's Mine" by the Dave Clark Five."
