Just what we didn't need -- tho' Mr Palmer's System cover is a nice start (a rarity, at least). If we get the Call again, I'm bailing.

Dave played this Henley ("Nobody's Business") fairly recently, but it's still enuf of a rarity for a VHM.

BOS DuranX2. "Is There Something I Should Know".

That was a nice one.  We're into the serious 80s part of the set, at least for me.  Who's doing the prog-whine about problems?

"prog-whine" says it all! "He Knows, You Know" -- early Marillion?

When it first started I thought it was Marillion, but the vocals confoosed me.

Eh - I don't dig it.  Synth is just too cheesy for its own good.  Or my good anyway.

Ahh the lovely (and hot, as we found out later) Vanessa Williams.  I guess she got the last laugh on "Ugly Betty".

indeed, she's had the longest, most-successful career of any former Miss A.  I was at the press conference the day she resigned -- everyone there saw her as the answer to a future trivia question, nothing more. *NOBODY* saw her career coming.

What's Holiday Road?  Something in "Vacation"?

Lindsay Buckingham -- we heard a snippet of the song at the top of the movie clip. A great little pop single that shoulda been a bigger hit.

Sounds like mostly a set that I don't mind missing at all. But I've been waiting for DM to pull out Family Man for ages. Might have to listen to the replay for that alone.

02/27/2008 - Wednesday! The Big Wheel stops on...1983!!!
 
1.  Robert Palmer - You Are in My System   
2.  Madness - Our House   
3.  Don Henley - Nobody's Business   
4.  Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?   
5.  Ultravox - Reap the Wild Wind   
6.  Marillion - He Knows, You Know   
7.  Prince - Delirious   
8.  Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) (BEST OF SET!!)   
9.  Hall & Oates - Family Man   
10.  Jackson Browne - Tender is the Night   
 
BONUS TRACK:  Genesis - Silver Rainbow


Turns out the Robert Palmer has only been played once before. If Dave had avoided "Our House" and Marillion, this might almost be worth recording. He's done worse '83 sets, fer shurr.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  But what a downer those two songs were for me.  I was listening while driving & actually flipped stations as soon as "Our House" came on.

I may have asked this last time he played it, but does anyone remember hearing the Marillion track *in* '83? I sure don't -- total Narada for me, I never heard of them until 2 years later when "Kayleigh" came along.

Hard to say--I know I'd heard it in '84, as they were the first band I ever saw at the Fillmore (an odd distinction, I know), and I want to say that was March of that year. But I was a big prog geek at that point, so I may have been ahead of the curve.

Not me, I think I didn't hear them until "Kayleigh" also, and must say I never much liked them even though I had a roommate once with all their albums.

You and me both.

As for Marillion - I was aware of the album title Script for a Jester's Tear but not of the songs themselves.  What year was that?

That was the album that had He Knows, You Know, so released in 83, probably got a little more notice in 84.

and that remains one of the most hilariously pretentious album titles of all time -- positively Spinal Tap-ian.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! the Mutha of all '83 Katrinas from Madness.

A lot of you don't like this song but I actually like it. I guess it's because Madness is part of my generation of the early to mid 80's. I remember Madness doing an autograph signing at the old Record Factory on Parker Ave/Geary Blvd. in SF and it drew a ton of high school kids, a lot more people then other acts from that era like Quarterflash, Howard Jones and Berlin.

That Record Factory became Wherehouse years later, right?

"Our House" is a great song, it just succumbed to some degree of overkill.  But yeah, just focus on how snappy that arrangement is.

Haha, this brings back memories.  When this came out, I was playing my new Atari 2600 pretty much constantly, and this song's choppy riffs totally sound like circa-2600 effects.

That's the one--Wherehouse bought out RF in the mid-80s.

I honestly don't know that Genesis song--and I still sort of liked them (on the downside) in '83.
