Floyd's "One of these Days" and The Band's "Life is a Carnival" the closest to rarities. February's making Don McLean shiver, with ev'ry 'trina Rob delivers.

But BOS EJ, who can't stoppa madman acrossa waaa-taaah.

Yikes, the Tide is High again. But yay for "Private Idaho", a Rockpile bustout ("If Sugar Was as Sweet as You"), Queen's equally rare "Need Your Loving Tonite" and Fischer-Z's "So Long".

and another ATBB: Thin Lizzy, "Chinatown" -- this one may be worth catching tonite.

Thur 11/18/10: 1974

luckily I missed "Cat's in the Cradle"; sadly I also missed "If You Can't Rock Me", "Must Of Got Lost" and Leo Sayer's forgotten cover of "Giving It All Away". But here's Marley, having a good 10@10 week, with "No Woman No Cry".

"take me down, Jimmeh!" -- always a BOS for the fantabulous "Junior's Farm".

Stevie wants to see you in the raw -- neat trick on his part.

OMFG: uber-BOS2 Tom Waits, "Heart of Saturday Night"

standard stuff: U2, Smithereens, DM, Edie Brickell, REM.  But the Ga. Satellites' cover of "Hippy Hippy Shake" woulda been NTM -- a B-side?

I remember it from a movie soundtrack--Cocktail perhaps? A throwaway, in any case.
