And the bustout?  T.Rex's Bang A Gong!  The Power Station cover has appeared
multiple times, but this is a first for the original, at least on a 10@10 set.
But I won't argue with giving it a LN designation, given it gets played at
least eleventy gazillion times a year on "classic" rock radio, plus there
is so much good material from 1971.  You could program a couple of month's
worth of 1971 10@10s without ever repeating a single track.

Dave played it once -- way back on August 23, 2001 (according to the Shraytabase).

4. John Prine - Hello In There

Uh, "Illegal Smile"...

That was my mistake -- I was just copying/pasting what was being listed on KFOG's tunegenie player before actually hearing what actually played.  I corrected it, though, thanks to RGMike.  :)

It was my attempt at subtly suggesting that the set list be corrected for the sake of posterity.

Ah yes, you are correct.  I was relying on my own files, which only go
back to early 2002.  I wrote a little program to convert CSV output from
the spreadsheet into a canonical text format, but I haven't finished the
work of integrating that data into my own.  The spreadsheet data is very
spotty in the early years, and there are only just over twenty entries
from 2001.

When was the last time the Power Station's "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" appeared? It was a frequent request of mine during the AL era.

Thanks. I didn't think AL had ever played it.
