Don McLean - Three Flights Up

[RealEagleScout]

In 1970, at Berkshire Community College (then on Second St.) Pittsfield MA,

President Tom O'Connell, during President's Hour, told us "I'd like to introduce a friend of mine..", whereupon McClean came out and played this song.

I will never forget it,

Almost impossible to find on any of the p2p servers; only here..

Thanks for the post and the memory..

why there's no one who thinks to upload 'bad girl' from Tapestry? 'Daddy, wont you buy a little dolly for me? it's the only toy i ever wanted...'

"Tapestry" was a great acoustic album filled with the social conscience-flavored work that was prevalent at the time. Thanks much for posting!

@jem3398 I think they are more personal than social.

I don't care what anyone says, this is his finest piece of work.

@GeminiSpaceship And I couldn't believe no one else had put up the original before I did!

@GeminiSpaceship I can't agree, but then I haven't heard all his songs yet. To me his finest are Winter Has Me in its Grip, Oh My What a Shame, Crossroads and the Grave. And General Store. And the Pride Parade. It's a long list. His smooth, soothing voice, outstanding guitar playing, poetic and thought-provoking lyrics and beautiful melodies are pure magic.
