Ditto -- any '83 set that starts with a non-Katrina (only the 3rd appearance for this one) is one with serious potential.

ah, but here's Mr Henley gettin' Dirty.

Yeah, and this is better than a lot of things we could have heard--Inside-Outside is a pretty good album. Only one previous time in the DB, but that was a classic set, so it's been played at least twice.

THis is too good not to point out:  She is married to actor David Lansbury, the nephew of actress Angela Lansbury and son of Edgar Lansbury, the producer of the original production of Godspell.

Angela Lansbury's brother was the original producer of Godspell?  I saw the original cast in the original off broadway show when I was a kid in Lon Gisland.

Hell, since 98% of their music is on a hard drive, they could just write a script that would detect if a certain artist had been played in, say, the last hour or two, and kick said artist out of the rotation for a preset length of time (with a manual override of course, in case someone dies or something). I bet Darryl could write one in his sleep.

I'm guessing that 10@10 is not on the hard drive as a list of songs -- that's why the songs Dave plays during the set don't show up on the "just played" generator.  He likes to assemble it "live" from many pieces (whereas Ginger and Bob have fewer pieces and less creative control, so their 10@10 songs show up on their respective "just played" lists as they air, 'cause the songs are preloaded). The digtially-recorded replay is in the computer as a single 45-minute event, rather than 10 separate songs. So unless someone is paying attention... and I assume Big Rick is out the door as soon as the replay starts.
