It cut in right in the middle of The Reflex--what is this, like 1984?
Bad engineer, BAD!

yup, it's '84. We'll see how many songs this set shares with The Peak's 1984 show earlier.

oh it's a "set o'mystery", I guess. Sorry, Dave we already figured it out.
BOS "My Red Joystick"!
ETA: This Lou Reed was a bustout the one-and-only time Dave palyed it, iirc. Should be easy to figure out when this set aired, then (if it's in the shraytabase).

Yep, love this song, this entire album really. My Friend George was a particular fave, but every song on this has its moments. Lou must have really been into video games during this time--two songs (My Red Joy Stick, Down at the Arcade) about various gaming things.
Saw Lou & an incredibly hot band (Fernando Saunders and Robert Quine on bass & guitar, Fred Maher on drums) from the front row at the Warfield on Halloween 1984.

'84 was all about the synths!
-
she's waiting... for a better song, Eric.
-
well it wouldn;t be '84 without a BOS2 for "our Trace".

Alas, not in the v1.0 of the SDB. I gotta e-mail the updated version to my work address.
BOS2, They Don't Know. Yeah, wish it were Kirsty's version, but it's still ear candy, imo.
-
yikes, another upcut song: "--t's Go CrazY".

kirsty mac?
she wrote it, and her version is also lovely.

not exactly sure about the pros of this song.

"did you understand the music, Yoko?
Or was it all in vain?"
I still marvel at that line -- I'm convinced that it kept this song off WNEW-FM in NYC, a station that had had a very close relationship with J&Y.

Not just lovely. Identical. They recorded a second lead vocal track with Tracey Ullman, and subbed that in for Kirsty's, with the exact same backing tracks. I think Kirsty gets backing vox credit on Tracey's version.
I'm not remembering having heard this REM tune at all (on 10@10, that is).
-
is this Wang Chung? also a rarity -- this is turning out to be one of Dave's most interesting mid-'80s sets.

And ditto for this Wang Chung tune. I don't know if I've ever heard it, actually.

I was thinking the same thing. Was struggling to ID the group, but decided it was them, just before I read your post.

from wikipedia:
The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking was a song released as a single by Roger Waters from the album of the same name. It was not a hit. Its meaning consists of the lasting memories of the main character, Reg. During the song, Waters mentions such popular icons as Dick Tracy, Shane, and Yoko Ono. The lyrics have been criticised as misogynistic (referring to an adulterous housewife) and racist (one line, referencing Yoko Ono's Japanese accent, says "The bitch said something mystical: 'Herro'").
Although the song is unquestionably the "catchiest" on the album (hence its choice for release as a single), its lyrics are quite oblique, particularly outside of the context of the album.
-
Ooh, and a rarely heard Bruce Cockburn track too. Whodathunkit?
-
and another one we don't hear often: Bruce Cockburn, "Making Contact". If it weren't for the crappy editing earlier, this set would be a keeper.

oh, but it's such a fun song! in a rocky horror kinda way. and the shane sample is fab.
-
Ah, the Cuomo "City on a Hill" clip from the 84 Democractic convention, right here in SF.
Wish I knew what skeletons kept him from accepting the nomination. If he'd run in 88 he coulda taken it to Bush Sr. bigtime.

chanelling "young americans," to be sure.

Wow, I didn't even catch that line. Now I'm positive it didn't get played in NYC for Yoko-related reasons.

Unless you're Yoko :wink:

And then the buzzer steps on the end of the Cars tune. This set, for all its nuggets, has been a tutorial on bad editing.

OK, I'm off to somafm.com for their "Xmas in Frisco" stream.

I'm having no problems at all. It's killer -- Mr. Garrison's "Merry F---ing Xmas" from South Park. Brilliant.

I tuned in too. ....They want to wish me a sober Christmas.
Heh heh, Police Stop My Car. Nice. No one working near me right now so I can turn it up slightly.
