Looking back over the last month, I'd say either 1977 or 1982 are most likely--either that, or we're plunging back into the 90s.
ETA: As often happens, my predictions are off by a year...gotta polish up that crystal ball!

1978 -- close enuf, tho' we were there less than 3 weeks ago, on a Friday.

instant BOS to this T.Heads tune -- a bustout? Don't recall Dave ever playing it.
VHM "DIY".
-
And I must say, TH into Peter Gabriel is a fine way to start the set.

Ditto that. What TH song was it? I dig the time signature changes in DIY.
-
wow, a president that spent time trying to make peace -- what a concept!
"Don't Wanna Live Without It" indeed.
-
Is this an obscure Pablo Cruise song? Didn't know there were any.
-
A little disco maybe?
-
BOS #3, my favorite ELO tune!
...and joy to everyone that comes along...

It got to #21 nationally, so not that obscure, but Dave doesn't play it very often.
uh-oh, ELO-oh. Hooka-chooka-whut-dey-say?

hooka chooka welcome back, bub!

a safe bet.

A rather unfortunate turn to "Lights".

aw shucks, I'll give it a VHM for sentimental reasons. Journey got much worse in the '80s.

I think it was Thank You For Sending Me an Angel but I'm not certain.

Well, yeah. It's a good song, even. But it's worn out from too many plays.

Cheeze platter comin' up! Olivia Newton-John Travolta! BOS2, a classic of its kind.
-

LOVE Lights.

Now THAT'S high school all over.

I remember going to the Coronet on Geary to see Grease when it opened.

Alicat HEAVEN!!!!!!! BeeGee's
THANKS DAVE!

BOS3 -- I'd love a SNF twin-spin if he'd play Tavares.
-
Travolta, Grease to SNF
-
Always fun to hear Close Encounters, especially this bit with the long-suffering Teri Garr.
-
nice seg -- Close Encounters into Costello.
"we're all goin' on a summer holiday..."
-

This also has the distinction of being the 5th-to-last tune in the archive when sorted by song title (which for some reason was the last thing I'd done before saving & closing, so it was right there today when I opened up the file).

BOS, Elvis.

VHM The Beat, EC.
Warmth of vinyl?

Yah mon.

Oops, I just caught a typo, actually there are only 3 tunes after this one.
-
Pretty good less-played Genesis tune -- from Duke?
-
Hmm, so we get both Gabriel and Genesis in one set. VHM Deep in the Motherload. Almost a BOS simply because it's way way better than Follow You Follow Me, and it was the first song I ever heard Genesis play live (it opened the show on the 78 tour--don't ask me how I remember this sh*t). Anyway, big sledgehammer.

Ziggy Stardust

well that's five guesses.

OMG and TANC: I was just thinking of this song yesterday. More Cheeze, Exile, "Kiss You All Over" Chapman & Chinn had quite a year in '78
-
Sledgehammer of set for Exile. I remember really despising this song because I wasn't getting any. Ditto for "Night Moves" which came out about the same time.

Yeah, I could see how hearing those lyrics when horny could be QUITE annoying.

Pretty sure those last three come before "You're the One That I Want", alphabetically speaking.
-
DAMN, that was a short set! That's what happens when you don't play any loooooooooong versions.

Surprising with the Genocide tune in there.

I used Top40 db for help -- they consider "you're" to be "you are" I guess.

Deep in the Mother Lode
Sounds like a porno flick

Excel sorts the apostrophe to come after 'z', so you're comes after your. Don't know if that sits well with our team of copy editors, but that's the way the Db works. Strangely there is no entry for "Ziggy Stardust", can't believe he hasn't played that for a minimum of 27 months, but there ya go. Not surprised that "You're the Only Woman" hasn't been included, which is to say that none of your guesses are correct.

Well, then: "You've Got a Friend", perhaps?

you're thinking of "Deep in Mother's Load" :wink:
-

Nope, there's one more "You're..." and two "You've..." songs. One of the artists has a connection to ONJ, which got the idea in my head in the first place, one is pretty obscure & one is anything but.

You're The Voice, John Farnham
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, Da Beatles (yay)
You've Gotta Be Loved, Montana
I've got mad Excel skillz too.
I see the typo...
-

If it makes a difference, i think it started a couple minutes before 10 today. Still not much over 40 minutes, but still. Also not too many clips. Carter, Close Encounters--anything else?
-
BOS, Elvis.
Yah mon.
Man that sounded good!
-
GOOD FOGHEAD. Bonus track, Count on Me.

(I guess this is a spoiler too since I'm replying to it.)
Nice work! I was planning to reply to this and had the Beatles track, but not the other two (surprised I blanked on the Montanas). I was going to guess "Zooropa." What's the ONJ connection?
-
What's the ONJ connection?
either John Farnham did a duet with her (hey, they're both Aussies) or else Mark has him confused with Jon Farrar, her producer.

Hee! I used to live a couple of blocks from the old Mother Lode in the 'Loin. Having just arrived from the suburbs of Pittsburgh, it made me feel oh so edgy. (Anyone know if the Tenderloin's gone uphill or downhill in general in recent years?)

the former, and it was in the opening ceremony for the Sydney Olympics in 2000, a trivia fact I have mentioned here more than once over the years.

TANC, just last evening I drove all the way up Larkin from Market to Broadway. Definitely going uphill from what I could see. Your old building has had at least one new coat of paint since you left it.

For the most part, yeah I think the 'loin is not as seedy as it once was. But there are certain blocks (like around Golden Gate between Jones & Taylor) that are still pretty sketch.

A friend had an apartment (which he's since sold) in that area between the 'loin and Nob Hill -- known, of course, as the TenderKnob.

Then there were the people who called the corridor between Polk and Van Ness "TenderNess."

I used to like Journey when I was growing up in the 80's. Then I listen to it 20+ years later and wonder why in the heck I ever liked that group. Open Arms today gives me a headache.

Some say people just romanticize the music they listen to when they were young, as if all music is equal in quality. I'm not going to get in trouble by slamming some of your favorite bands, but do you think that's really true?

Of course it's true. Every generation needs something to call their own; they latch onto the new and convince themselves that it's good, even great... and over time that becomes accepted as fact.
Our parents hated rock; when our generation came of age and started writing about it seriously and analytically, that sealed the deal -- we proved rock was "important" by simply saying so. Same thing happened when hip-hop came along. Most people over 40 not only hate it but have legitimate, well-thought-out arguments as to why it's "not music". But the hip-hop generation has just done what we did -- produced writers who are capable of detailing its merits. So-and-so's "beats" are better than that guy's; Rapper X's "rhyming skillz" are better than Rapper Y's, and so on.

When I was in K.C. my mom went through their files and gave me a bunch of folders of letters & stuff of mine that they'd saved for me over the years, which I was shocked to see included a draft of my Master's thesis on Rap music. I had no reason to expect that they'd have a copy & the floppy disc it was on has long since been corrupted, so it was like finding a long-lost child. I wrote it in 1992, and what you are saying was pretty much one half of my argument, the other half being that by studying rap we could better understand socio-historical truths of the people making the music. My first page was killer (if I do say so myself).
