presumably the "classic" Labor Day set will be Monday.  "Take This Job & Shove It", etc.  I'll be happy if Dave gives us ONE surprise today but I'm expecting The Blow Monkeys.

nice start with "Thorn in My Side". I'll BOS that.

Eurythmics' Thorn in My Side to lead off--not a bust-out, but not a common one either. It's probably just the sax, but it's reminding me of the Psychedelic Furballs a bit.

This Eurythmics song is not in my Db (sorry, sorting error, we heard this in March), and now here's an R.E.M. song that we haven't heard in just over two years.  Hope Dave is just getting warmed up, as opposed to having already shot his creatve wad for the day.

if this REM isn't a bust-out it's surely a rarity.  BOS2.

Well, two steps forward, one step back: no particular gripe with this Simple Minds tune, just nothing to write home about.

Well, "All the Things She Said" is surely a frequent-flier, I'd wager.

VHM Simple Minds, "All the Things She Said".  One of my favorites in their catalog & while not particularly rare for Dave it's not a Katrina either.  We only get this once or twice per year.

now this BoDeans HAS to be a Katrina. Or a semi-Katrina.

BoDeans is inching further into Katrina territory, but still a song I like.

Like the last tune it's not a rarity, but  somehow don't think we've heard it quite often enough to make it a katrina either. Although it does well in the voting, so I suspect if it's not one yet, it may be eventually.

I wondered where those crickets were coming from...  BOS XTC "Summer's Cauldron" from the brilliant Skylarking. Let's relax in the undertow.

Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron
Under mats of flower lava
Please don't pull me out this is how I would want to go
Breathing in the boiling butter
Fruit of sweating golden Inca
Please don't heed my shout I'm relax in the undertow

When Miss Moon lays down
And Sir Sun stands up
Me I'm found floating round and round
Like a bug in brandy
In this big bronze cup
Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron

Trees are dancing drunk with nectar
Grass is waving underwater
Please don't pull me out this is how I would want to go
Insect bomber Buddhist droning
Copper chord of August's organ
Please don't heed my shout I'm relaxing in the undertow

When Miss Moon lays down
in her hilltop bed
And Sir Sun stands up
raise his regal head
Me I'm found floating round and round
Like a bug in brandy
In this big bronze cup
Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron

Very sad not to hear "Grass".  They really shouldn't be divided like that.

That's poetry

All we need it to hear is the Georgia Satellites to make this set sound just like 1986 to me.

Ah, Van Hagar instead. That'll do it, too.

Bleah - WOS for Van Hagar.

Triple-Jinx for Hagar the Horrible.

I especially hate the line: "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time."  That's just bad.  NOT poetry.

now, Sting may still have been on the LP chart in '86, but this album says 1985 to me.

Was this album from 86 or 85? I for some reason associate it with the latter.

Yep, per the Top 40 list, it hit #8 in 85. Hmmm.

Off to SD tonight for the long weekend, and probably coming in late on Tuesday as it's the first day of first grade for my son & we'll probably want to hang for a bit at school.

Hope everyone else has a nice weekend too!

Well, Branford is a sax player rather than trumpet (Wynton is the only trumpet-playing Marsalis, to my knowledge). But I don't see a trumpet player listed in the credits for this record, so maybe it is him you're talking about.

I saw them perform this in concert & Branford pulled that sound out of his saxophone.
