Excellent! This could be a another better-than-decent week. Tomorrow, I predict '80s/'90s and then Thurs something relatively old, since Fri (presumably) is a St Pat's set.

BTW, today is Peter Finch's B-Day. Dave played some tape of his first radio gig, at age 19 in... 1978.  Perhaps we'll hear more of that during the set.

that would be cool.  I think Mike remembers this but in case we didn't mention it much before, Peter worked at KBCO for quite a while & Ginger knew him way back then.

I wish Dave'd play one of his Springsteen covers from a few years earlier in the appropriate set.

OMFG! BOS Elvis "Lip Service" -- is this a bustout?  There are so many EC tunes from that incredibly fertile period that Dave has never played.

I just checked, this is not in my Db.  Over 20 EC songs are, so it's not just a bustout but a deep one.

WOS, Genesis begins their inexorable slide to mediocrity (and the concurrent climb to chart success and obscene wealth).

I'll go against the grain and BOS Genesis -- I still find this rather lovely.

I'd love to hear the "other" Surrender, that is, the Cheap Trick tune (or anything else from Heaven Tonight for that matter).

LOL. Ineeded that.
He is such a goofball. Not sure if I mentioned he did the National Anthem a month or so back at a Sharks game. Worked the crowd on his way up the stairs afterwards. Seems like a nice guy.

BOS3 Mr Palmer.  Maybe "Best Dead Person of Set" (BDPOS) could be a new category.

Here's yer Springsteen, the gen-you-wine article. (Although it'd be cool to hear Kihn's For You some time, agreed.)

Always a VHM for WKRP.  BOS4 Broooooooooce, one of my fave songs from a brilliant LP.

BOS3 (after the Kihn and Palmer) to Mr. Blue Sky, a song given new life by its appearance in that Jim Carrey film with the really long name (that I keep wanting to call The Unbearable Lightness of a Spotless Mind.)

not to mention a dozen or so other commercials and trailers.

This obscure disco nugget's name is escaping me. "Nothing Gonna Keep Me From You"?  I wanna say Teri DeSario, but whoever it is, it's a Narada to me, and I was pretty plugged into that stuff in '78.

This one's a complete Narada for me--I was pretty adamantly "disco sucks" in '78.

Ooooh, is this Nick Gilder? Hot Child in the City!

Dave's played it before; it apparently is some kind of sledgehammer for him, judging by the stage-tear in his voice when he backannounced it.

But NY radio was VERY disco-centric in '78 and *nobody* was playing that song.  I've only heard it here.

I had completely forgotten that RP had passed on.

Guess it's now a macabre competition between the Power Station, the Ramones, the Mamas & Papas, and the Temptations for the first major band of the rock era, AFAIK, to have all its original members pass away.
