Title: 11 April 2014: it's... 1980
Post by: RGMike on April 10, 2014, 07:49:57 PM

not surprising. Another "4 decades and a theme set" week. Here's hoping this isn't another AL's Greatest Hits set.

annnnd... we've already gotten a request for "Skateaway".  (and later, "(Just like) Starting Over", godhelpus)

Fine songs so far, but the above description fits nonetheless.

A wheelhouse set for me.  I was listening to pretty much everything here.

but, dear lord, can't that Bosom* Buddies clip be retired by now?

* my mother used to pronounce it "buh-ZOOM"

John assassinated --> "Beautiful Boy"   Nice surprise and thank GAWD she avoided "Starting Over".  a BOS contender, certainly.

If she had played "Starting Over", it would have been a morbid segue from the assassination news report...

the inevitable Caddyshack clip --> "I'm Alright", which gets my WOS.

Title: Re: 11 April 2014: it's... 1980
Post by: CapnJack on April 11, 2014, 10:32:50 AM

Caddyshack ---> Kenny Loggins "I'm Alright"

(http://www.stars-on-7-inch.com/Listen/D/Columbia/08000/colu_8896_NL.jpg)

I'd rather hear a clip from Roadie followed by Eddie Rabbitt's "Drivin' My Life Away"...

well, a perfectly pleasant set, but again, it seems like AL is revisiting her old setlists rather than taking many requests to heart.

Relatively quick set -- or did it just start on time for a change? No big nuggets but the only song I would have replaced was the Loggins song, so overall a pretty solid set.

My BOS picks are the Robert Palmer and Pretenders tunes.

She could have played the "Skateaway" and "Starting Over" requests, tho.  ;D
