BOS #1, R.E.M. "Cuyahoga", this is my 2nd favorite album of theirs, after only their debut.

This is where we walked.  This is where we swam...

Ditto the BOS. Not one Dave's played often, it seems to me.

BOS2 JCM, "Under the Boardwalk", one of his excellent B-sides from that period.

I'm afraid this doesn't do much for me.  Certainly no more than Bruce Willis's karaoke adventures of the same period.

I wonder what 'Til Tuesday song he's gonna play. Dave plays "Coming Up Close" in '87 and "Voices Carry" is definitely '85.

BOS to "Coming Up Close."  Dave played this in a Christmas-themed set, iirc, and its homecoming sentiments were a chokeup.

well, it's "CUC" and I have no idea if it was a late '86 release or not, this song is a Narada for me -- I'd never heard it until Dave started Katrinizing it.  This LP was ignored on NYC radio.

Late '86 album release, single peaked in '87, so everyone's cool.  By the way, this is another to add to our list of Alisons, as the LP is titled Welcome Home.

VHM to "Boy in the Bubble," easily my favorite song from Graceland.  My friend Dave*, a wonderful historian, loves to quote this refrain for its optimism that what we're making is actually progress.

BOS #4 INXS, "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)" from Listen Like Thieves, the album nobody plays anymore.

BOS2 to "Mission-Are-Ee Man."  Never knew why Annie pronounced it that way, I've never heard anyone else ever do so.

BOS #5, "Missionary Man".

wherein Annie Lennox claims to be Cain & Abel's long-lost sister.

Running gag.  When I met Dave in college, his roommate was also named Dave.  This Dave became Dave* to distinguish, and still to this day signs off his emails that way.

BOS #6 Art of Noise!

ETA: Has Dave ever had this good a set from '86?  I recall he had a pretty good one recently, but...

Bruce Hornsby/Every Little Kiss
R.E.M./Cuyahoga
MOVIE CLIP FROM: Stand By Me
John Mellencamp/Under the Boardwalk
Inxs/Kiss the Dirt (Falling down the Mountain)
Rolling Stones/One Hit (to the Body)
Til Tuesday/Coming Up Close
Federal Express "fast talker" commercial
Paul Simon/The Boy in the Bubble
George Satellites/Keep You Hands to Yourself
Eurythmics/Missionary Man
MOVIE CLIP FROM: Peggy Sue Got Married
Art of Noise/Peter Gunn Theme

...and Mark, to answer your question -- aside from the REM which woulda been a Dave bustout, I thought this set was rather Moreyesque, actually.  I love Ginger's '80s sets but I don't think this one was that far ahead of Dave. His '86 set from last week gets the nod from me for "Papa Don't Preach" alone. :wink:

Well actually, SIX of those songs would have been bustouts in the Darryl Db (not counting the Bruce Hornsby, which Dave plays in '87 sets).  The closest thing to a Katrina would, believe it or not, have been Art of Noise.
