Shady Lake Amusement Park

I have a very dim memory of Shady Lake Park in Streetsboro, Ohio, from Thanksgiving Day 1995. A friend of mine decided the time was right to go behind the still-standing entry way and checkout the "abandoned amusement park." But it was just a large, empty, flat piece of land. The park had only been open from 1978-82, and that archway was designed to look like the one from Euclid Beach Park.

That's no accident: the kid-centric park was opened by the Humphrey Family, owners of EBP, who bought the Streetsboro site in the late 60s. They then spent nearly a decade installing infrastructure and Kiddie Land rides from their defunct park, which closed in 1969.

Why did it fail? I have no idea. This excellent article was written by local amusement park expert John Frato for the Western Reserve Historical Society. It mentions a Humphrey family conflict, but I wonder if the area simply wasn't populated enough at that time? It was pretty much farm country, sitting 45-60 minutes from downtown Cleveland, Akron, Canton, or Youngstown (or Euclid!). The nearest densely populated area was Kent, home to many Kent State University students who would have no reason to visit a kiddie park.

I also wonder if the name was an issue: "shady" is not something you want to associate with kids.

Many former Euclid Beach/Shady Lake rides ended up at Old Indiana Fun Park. The archway stood along the north side of Rt. 14 in Streetsboro, abandoned, until about 2004... not long after the land started being redeveloped for Shady Lake Apartments. The photograph above as taken by Erik Breedon.

Aside from the Frato article , there’s very little information or photographs of Shady Lake online. I've tried to collect what I've found below.


This undated postcard looks to be from the mid-1930s:

From a Facebook post by the National Amusement Park Historical Society (9/16/21): "The Flying Scooter was a classic Bisch-Rocco flat ride at Old Indiana Fun Park in Thorntown, Indiana. The ride had previously operated at Shady Lake."



This was buried in a defunct Streetsboro Facebook group, but still turned up in a Google search; no username or posting date available. But when I re-posted it, several people confirmed that it was a Euclid Beach ride called "The Bug" which ended up at Shady Lake (and may have been renamed "The Turtle"):

Here's a Euclid Beach postcard (listed as being from 1968) which was for sale online, showing "The Bug":

 
From the Carousel Corner website, taken 1981 by B. Williams (as are the three following):


Also from Carousel Corner, these 1981 pics by B. Williams show what's labeled as a "Mangels Kiddie":



Flickr user Sled1025 took this photo of the (abandoned) offices in 1994, as well as the three following. This user has a few other pics from that era listed as Shady Lake, but they're actually of nearby Wonderland, which was reportedly built as a tax dodge that was never supposed to open to the public! The story is in Sled1025's comments.


More 1994 pics of the abandoned park, from Flickr user Sled1025.



Yet another pic rescued from Facebook (this time, the Streetsboro Historical Society):

Finally, the following three photos are from the Western Reserve Historical which is linked post above. Hopefully there are more high-quality images available out there, waiting to be discovered!

**Bob Dylan - Love and Theft: it's enough already, RS! No one cares about anything after "Blood On the Tracks"

**Fiona Apple has three albums (Extraordinary Machine, The Idler Wheel, When the Pawn) but not Tidal? Isn't that her best one?

**Fleetwood Mac's Rumours made the list, but not their self-titled album right before that, nor Then Play On

**Frank Sinatra: In the Wee Small Hours... but not "Songs For Swingin' Lovers"? Or they could have just included one of the anthologies of his Capitol years

**Isaac Hayes, Hot Buttered Soul... but not Shaft?

**Joni Mitchell has several albums... but why the decent-yet-unexciting The Hissing of Summer Lawns

**Madonna: Ray of Light (lame) but not Like a Virgin? What?

**Paul McCartney: Ram, but not Band On the Run? Or how about Wingspan (which includes generous doses of both)? I still love Ram, though, so it's fine

**Beach Boys: Wild Honey... BORING. They also included Brian Wilson's solo version of Smile. WHAT?!

**Beatles: the big controversy is that they've been downgraded on this list in general. But the oddest thing to is that their first UK album, Please Please Me (aka Early Beatles in the US) is absent. It's usually considered one of their best... it's got Love Me Do, Please Please Me, Boys, I Saw Her Standing There, Twist & Shout... would have been nice to include that instead of...

**Sly & The Family Stone, Stand!... it's a great album, but most of it is already on Greatest Hits (which is also on the list)

**Yes: Close to the Edge... I always thought The Yes Album was better, or even Fragile

**Richard & Linda Thompson, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight... I never understood why critics peed their pants over this. Speaking of which:

**Kanye and Neil Young have the same number of entries

**Springsteen's classic run from "The Wild, The Innocent" through "Born In the USA" remains... except for "The River." Odd.

**Steely Dan: Pretzel Logic has been removed but Aja and Can't Buy a Thrill still made the cut

Some further deletions since 2003:

-Moby Grape (121 in 2003), the 1952 Anthology Of American Folk Music (#276 in 2003), The Carpenters' lone entry from 2003 ("Close to You"), Frank Zappa (Freak Out was 243, We're Only In It For The Money was 296), plus Barry White, Jane's Addiction, No Doubt, The O'Jays, Mamas & the Papas, Soundgarden, Jethro Tull, Yardbirds, Meat Loaf, Moby, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Labelle, Mott the Hoople, Graham Parker, Jackson Browne, John Lee Hooker, Bjork, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Jackie Wilson, Neil Diamond, Paul Butterfield, Cheap Trick, Gram Parsons, The Pogues, War, Alice Cooper, EPMD, The Drifters, Echo & the Bunnymen, Steve Earle, Albert King, Eurythmics, Buffalo Springfield, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Little Walter, Bobby Bland, Professor Longhair, Buena Vista Social Club, Blood, Sweat & Tears

-And I'm surprised the Black Keys haven't made any of these lists

Herb Alpert: A Legend

Apparently, I never posted my brief thoughts (not a review) of Herb Alpert’s 2017 concert here. Here it is right on schedule – five years late.

Mr. Alpert was backed by a tasty jazz trio and played songs I’ve never heard him play before, save for a very cool Tijuana Brass medley (complete with retro video projected behind him).  Wife Lani Hall (of Brasil ’66) showed she still has her chops with nice vocal spotlights.  There was even a singalong on “This Guy’s In Love With You.”  It would have been awesome enough just with the music, but Mr. Alpert encouraged the audience to ask questions in between songs.  He covered his musicianship, his love of painting, his childhood, took some requests and got a ton of questions about discovering and nurturing talent.  I actually found it a little odd (“tell us about this famous person you knew”) but he enjoyed it.

After the show, this introverted 82-year-old billionaire should have been relaxing.  Instead, he came out and said hello to a few people, signed autographs and made a few jokes.  Mind-blowing!  There was no reason he needed to do that except he’s a mensch. Frankly, he doesn’t NEED the money from touring, and he was playing small venues anyway. He doesn’t have a new album out. He’s just awesome.

Dick Cavett's 1975 CBS variety show

Search around long enough and you can find clips from almost all of Dick Cavett's shows -- almost. His 1975 CBS summer variety series is virtually nonexistent.

To trace his TV career, Cavett was on ABC daytime from March 4, 1968 until January 24, 1969 (originally titled "This Morning"). Very few recorded clips survive, since the show was often live.

A few months later, he got a primetime summer show on the odd schedule of Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (May 26-September 19, 1969). That's the show which had the famous episode with Woodstock performers.

At the end of the year, he replaced Joey Bishop as host of ABC's late night show starting December 29, 1969. This show is usually listed as running until January 1, 1975 BUT -- in its last two years, it was not a nightly show. Instead, it rotated (one week a month) as part of ABC's "Wide World of Entertainment." This was a series of news, specials, reruns, foreign programs (such as Monty Python), movies, and even "Jack Paar Tonite," the short-lived return by Cavett's mentor and former boss, Jack Paar (January 8, 1973 until November, 1973).

After ABC canceled Cavett, CBS boss Fred Silverman snapped him up as a kind of roving reporter/entertainer, interviewing Barbra Streisand for a special and conducting various high profile forms of business. It's kind of the same way NBC employed Jay Leno in the mid-'80s, before he became permanent guest host on "The Tonight Show."

Eventually, Silverman suggested Cavett as a summer replacement for Carol Burnett. The Saturday night variety show aired August 16-September 6, 1975.  His lead-in was the powerhouse lineup of "All In the Family," "The Jeffersons," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and "The Bob Newhart Show." Yet the experiment didn't go smoothly. The first clip I found was from episode four (the last one), where he's wearing a John Travolta disco suit (years before "Saturday Night Fever") and expertly interviewing Cher.

Why didn't it work?

In his 1983 book "Eye On Cavett," he cautiously hints that the producers were the problem, but doesn't name them and doesn't say what all of the issues were. According to my research, the show was run by former "Sesame Street" Producers Carole and Bruce Hart. Cavett says they wanted a "concept" for the show, such as "Why is the packaging of a BIC pen so difficult to open?" The tapings were also an agonizing affair, taking several hours to shoot episode one. Cavett preferred going essentially live-to-tape, as he had for the past several years, but was overruled. It didn't help that his first choice for producer, Bob Precht (Ed Sullivan's son-in-law), had to drop out. Silverman suddenly left for ABC that spring, taking most network support with him. Then, Cavett learned that CBS had leased his preferred studio (The Ed Sullivan Theater) to ABC for use on Howard Cosell's "Saturday Night Live."

The writing likely wasn't an issue, since the writers were Christopher Porterfield, Marshal Efron, Alfa-Betty Olsen, Tom Meehan, Tony Geis, and Clark Gessner. The first two are frequent Cavett collaborators; the others, I'm not sure. The show was directed by Alan Meyerson and Clark Jones, and apparently it had two semi-regulars (i.e. "cast of zanies"): Imogene Coca and Leigh French. It's like a weird version of the hit "Tony Orlando & Dawn."

The guest list was also first-rate. Since there's very little video tape existing, this is what I've pieced together for an episode guide (with links to the clips I've found):

#1 (Aug. 16, 1975): Liza Minnelli, Henry Gibson, Doug Henning

#2 (Aug. 23, 1975): Peter Ustinov, Jean Stapleton, Neil Sedaka

#3 (Aug. 30, 1975): Jackie Gleason, LaBelle, and the cast of "Upstairs, Downstairs"... Jean Marsh (Rose), David Langton (Mr. Bellamy), Simon Williams (James), Gordon Jackson (Hudson), and Rachel Gurney

#4 (Sept. 6, 1975): Cher, Steve Allen, Barry Manilow, magician Slydini

Cavett is very complimentary to the guests when recounting the show in his book, saying the interplay between Cher and Slydini was "delightful." He adds that Steve Allen "clowned engagingly" through a sketch about old-time radio (with Marshall Efron as the sound effects man). The cast of "Upstairs, Downstairs" was "briskly cheerful." Nothing about Gleason, unfortunately. Apparently, after the first taping, he sent profuse notes of thanks and apology to Doug Henning and Liza. Peter Ustinov is described as a variety show unto himself. Cavett does say that Jean Stapleton "showed herself to be a brick in a near-beguiling sketch with Ustinov." That surprises me since Stapleton is thoroughly of the thespian tradition which Cavett loves, and she had been on the ABC show at least once (April 16, 1973). Did "brick" mean something different when the book was written (1983)? 

Back to the show itself, Cavett says the episodes were likely dumped in a river by CBS... but the clip above has a "Decades" channel bug in the corner. So were they rerun on that channel, alongside his ABC late night episodes?

After the CBS experience, Cavett hosted SNL twice (proving that he could easily handle variety, so long as it wasn't a labored affair), and eventually had another nice run on PBS from October 10, 1977-October 8, 1982... until affiliates voted him off?! I don't get it.

Cavett would return on USA (cable) from September 30, 1985-September 23, 1986 with an excellent program. He left that show, unfortunately, to head back to ABC's late night berth on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from September 22-December 30, 1986. Incidentally, his replacement on USA was Robert Klein, whose show ran until 1988.

Cavett later had nice runs on CNBC (April 17, 1989-January 26, 1996) and TCM (2006–2007).

Rolling Stone Magazine's greatest TV shows of all-time

Rolling Stone magazine has released its list of the 100 Greatest TV Shows of All-Time (below). There's more pressing things in the universe, and this list is ultimately meaningless... but it's still garbage.

Some examples...

Last year, they ranked the 100 greatest sitcoms. In the Top 50, they included Barney Miller, King of the Hill and Andy Griffith. Further down, there was Sgt. Bilko, WKRP, Jack Benny, Sanford & Son. None of those shows are on this new list. Odd.

On the flip side, NOT making last year's sitcom-only list was "The Wonder Years"... but now on the 100 greatest shows of all-time list, it's #90? Makes no sense!

This new list also makes a point of specifying only the first three years of SCTV, when Harold Ramis was head writer, and before Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Robin Duke, and Tony Rosato joined the cast. Very arbitrary.

And there's more: "Atlanta" was rated the 25th best sitcom last year... but it has now vaulted up to be the 9th best series of any kind?  (And 84 slots above "The Rockford Files"?!)

Other shows not making the list, which often do make lists such as this one: Soap, Happy Days, Fernwood 2 Night, The Real World, Mission: Impossible, The Untouchables, Bewitched, Leave it to Beaver, Dallas, Lou Grant, and St. Elsewhere.

The list DOES include several shows beyond prime time on the "Big Four" networks, such as Jeopardy and Sesame Street. But they left off Rocky & Bullwinkle, Mr. Rogers, Hollywood Squares, Beavis & Butthead, The Tomorrow Show, Dick Cavett, The Today Show, The Price is Right, Jack Paar, and any soap operas. Just so long as we can continue peeing our pants over "Watchmen."

BEATLES: You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)

Following on last week's post about the "ultimate" version of "Let It Be"... you'll note I did not include the b-side to the "Let It Be" single, "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" aka YKMN. It really doesn't fit with the album's aesthetic or chronology. Starting as a series of heavily produced backing tracks recorded after the release of Sgt. Pepper (in 1967), the rambling track seems to have been forgotten until after the "Get Back" sessions ended. In the spring of 1969, John and Paul dusted it off and added vocals. Late that year, John edited its six parts down to four and prepared to release it as the third Plastic Ono Band single. That never happened, and this (mono) edit showed up in March, 1970, as the Beatles' final UK b-side.

By 1996, it remained one of just a handful of tracks never released in true stereo: the others are Love Me Do, P.S. I Love You, She Loves You, and I'll Get You.  Unlike those songs, the stereo multitrack tapes do exist, and "You Know My Name" was given its first stereo mixdown for "Anthology 2." The mix restores the two missing sections, but unfortunately cuts parts of the other four sections (which were unedited on the original 1970 release). One can piece them both together easily -- but not in true stereo.  Below is a waveform of the entire, unedited version showing which sections are part of which mix.

Beach Boys vinyl: Sail On Sailor (1972-73)

The latest Beach Boys archival set is coming out this fall, but is it worth it?

They’re charging $179 for a 5LP/1EP set which pales – artistically – in comparison to its predecessor (“Feel Flows”)? To quote a classic SNL sketch from the 90s, “Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?”

“Feel Flows” covers what I think is the group’s post-“Pet Sounds” high point; “Sail On Sailor” is its vapor trail. Even though there’s an extra slab-and-a-half of vinyl, I can’t see paying more than $100 – which is what the Beach Boys are charging for the colored vinyl edition of FF.

Only about half the tracks on “Carl & the Passions” and three-quarters of “Holland” really work for me; the EP is decent but unspectacular. I like these albums, but the lack of outtakes is very telling: they were running on fumes! Admittedly, the Wilson brothers’ fumes are light years ahead of anything I’ll ever accomplish, but in the scheme of Beach Boys boxed sets, this one is overpriced in relation to the artistic merit within.

I do like that they’re including the Carnegie Hall concert, but why not just remaster/repress 1973’s “Beach Boys In Concert”? That’s always seemed to be the demarcation point between “The Beach Boys” and what I call “Mike Love’s Travelling Beach Boys Jukebox.” It would be three years before “15 Big Ones” (and then “Love You”) showed one last spark of artistic relevance. I have to think that if these archival sets continue, those two will be the last ones to get a physical release.

Anyhow, back to the Carnegie Hall show: the 1973 live double album covers the same tour, but doesn’t include anything from the Carnegie Hall show itself. I’m curious how the two releases will compare. 

However, instead of marginally interesting but very expensive boxes like this one, when will they reissue 1993’s “Good Vibrations” box on vinyl? I’m guessing never, but it’s probably my favorite BB compilation. At least it’s available on CD, because there are plenty of other releases that haven’t had a physical release of any kind: "The Big Beat 1963," "Keep an Eye on Summer – The Beach Boys Sessions 1964," "Beach Boys' Party! Uncovered and Unplugged," "1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow," "Wake the World: The Friends Sessions," and "I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions" cover pretty much the entire Capitol era… except for “Pet Sounds” and “Smile.”

There have been TWO deluxe “Pet Sounds” boxes – in 1997 and 2016 – with heavy overlap, but neither one ever made it to vinyl; they’re CD-only. UMe seemingly churns out another stereo vinyl “Pet Sounds” every year – but they can’t be bothered to cobble together these two amazing boxes onto black wax? Or, reissue 2011’s “The Smile Sessions”? Very strange. I would love to see any of those before I fork over $179 for “Sail On Sailor,” though I may be a bit jaundiced since my vinyl copies of “Holland” and “Carl” are perfectly fine. I don’t think either one needs a remix, either, so a remaster should suffice. (If FF is any guide, the remastered “Sunflower” tracks sounded phenomenal). I’ll probably catch this one on streaming.

By the way, if you’re wondering WHY so many of the recent archival sets have been digital-only: supposedly, Ume didn't want to draw attention away from "The Beach Boys with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra." Just the fact that such a thing exists is a joke.

Beatles: Let It Be or Get Back or BOTH

Here's what I consider the “ultimate” version of “Let It Be.”  I used cuts from the original album, the Anthology, the original film itself, and various boots (much of which is likely in the new Peter Jackson "Get Back"). I wanted it to function like an audio documentary, showing how the band actually made the album.  So I included the brief songs, the chatter, and I also tried to avoid Phil Spector productions where possible.


SIDE 1:

1. Get Back (45 mix)

2. Two of Us (short fast version, from film)

3. Watching Rainbows (boot)

4. The Walk (boot)

5. Teddy Boy (Anthology 3)

6. Rip It Up Medley (Anthology 3)

7. I Me Mine (original LP)

8. Dig It (Glyn Johns)

9. Let It Be (45 mix)

10. Maggie Mae (original LP)


SIDE 2:

1. Rocker aka I'm Ready (boot)

2. The Long and Winding Road (Anthology 3)

3. For You Blue (from film, with long instrumental opening)

4. Two of Us (original LP)... crossfades to:

5. Don't Let Me Down (45 mix)

6. I've Got a Feeling (Let It Be... Naked)

7. Dig a Pony (from the film with "all I want is" opening)

8. One After 909 (original LP)

9. Get Back (Anthology 3 version, crossfades to coda as in the movie)


UPDATE (2/9/24): I would also add the Glyn Johns mix of "Across the Universe" to side two, from the deluxe edition of "Let it Be."

The Beatles Turn 60

The Beatles’ first record under their own name – “Love Me Do” – came out 60 years ago today in England.  There have been numerous reissues of their work over, including deluxe editions of their later albums.

What if Apple released a “kitchen sink” edition of every one of the Beatles’ 12 UK albums (with the Yellow Submarine and US Magical Mystery Tour soundtracks combined into one)?  Include every extant session outtake, every note of BBC sessions, all the well-recorded live shows (like Sam Houston Coliseum)… everything.  This would include all the material on the Anthology, BBC, Rarities, and Past Masters sets (obviously).  Here’s my starting point for this. What else would you add?

 

*Please Please Me: original album in mono, stereo, and remixed w/studio outtakes and demos; Decca audition tape; original 45 version of “Love Me Do”; all 1962 BBC sessions (Here We Go/Teenager’s Turn/Talent Spot); highlights from Hamburg tapes?; all episodes of BBC’s “Pop Go the Beatles”

 

*With the Beatles: original album in mono, stereo, and remixed w/studio outtakes and demos; same applies to the From Me To You, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand singles and their b-sides; Royal Variety Show; 1963 Christmas disk; all 1963 BBC radio broadcasts except “Pop Go the Beatles”

 

*A Hard Day’s Night: original album (plus Long Tall Sally EP and the German single) in mono, stereo, and remixed w/studio outtakes and demos; first three Ed Sullivan Shows; first US concert (Washington DC); AHDN film; all BBC radio episodes of “From Us To You”

 

*Beatles For Sale: original album (plus I Feel Fine single) in mono, stereo, and remixed w/studio outtakes and demos; 1964 Christmas disk; 1964 Hollywood Bowl show(s); Philadelphia concert (radio broadcast?); Around the Beatles (original clean audio only as well as video of the finished TV special); all 1964 BBC sessions except “From Us To You” shows

*Rubber Soul: original album (plus “We Can Work it Out”/”Day Tripper”) in mono, stereo, and remixed w/studio outtakes and demos; 1965 Christmas disk; Sam Houston coliseum; video: 1965 Ed Sullivan appearance; Shea Stadium

*Sgt. Pepper: no changes to 2017 box

 

*YS/MMT: original 11 tracks from the US version (mono, stereo and remixed) plus outtakes and demos; the four Yellow Submarine cuts (mono, stereo, and 1999 remixes) plus outtakes and demos; Lady Madonna/Inner Light plus outtakes; Carnival of Light; You Know My Name (the full, unedited stereo version as well as the original mono 45 edit); Across the Universe w/outtakes; 1967 Christmas disk; full-length “Christmas Time Is Here Again”; incidental music recorded for MMT (such as Shirley’s Wild Accordian and Aunt Jesse’s Dream); George Martin’s entire score (side 2 of the YS LP); “I Am the Walrus” edit from the US “Rarities” album; and for video: both movies, the Our World broadcast, and the Lady Madonna promo video

 

*White Album: no changes to the 2018 version except adding the original mixes of Hey Jude and Revolution; Kenny Everett interviews with John and George (released on an Italian double-7” promo); audio from the Hey Jude/Revolution promotional films (and video as well, if possible); and the 1968 Christmas disk

 

*Abbey Road: no changes to the 2019 release except adding the original mixes of Old Brown Shoe and Ballad of John and Yoko; 1969 Christmas disk; the alternate version of “Octopus’ Garden” from Ringo’s TV special with a live vocal performed to a remixed backing track

 

*LIB: in addition to what we know is included, add the LIB Naked mixes; the LIBN fly on the wall disk audio; the three dialogue cuts from the 1970 one-sided 7” promo; and audio of the entire rooftop performance.  If they really wanted to be deluxe, reproductions of Sweet Apple Trax and the Black Album (which cover the best of the NAGRA material, and also allows them to beat the bootleggers a la Frank Zappa).

 

Tomorrow: my suggestion for a “perfect” version of “Let It Be”

Ranking the episodes of SNL

The sites "One SNL a Day" (seasons 1-43) and "One SNL a Day 2.0" (43-present) have been going through every episode of Saturday Night Live and reviewing them. Each segment (except musical guests) receives a rating from 1 to 5 stars. Based on those rankings, each episode gets an average rating. Using those numbers, the authors have compiled all sorts of stats. But if you just want the ratings for each episode, highest to lowest, through season 44... here they are. I may update this post in the future with further seasons.
