No need to hurry the jury, not many BOS votes forthcoming.

Hrm... corporate bailouts? Dave picked this one on purpose, methinks.

Gaz gets his fave J&Y.

Hmmm, this set may be a rarity in that it's not in the Shraytabase. I can't find any sets with Abalama Getaway as the TOTHC. So either this is really recent, or fairly old.

and this would seem to confirm that this is a old set -- I can't remember the last time Dave played "The Great Curve"

even in 1980, Dave can't avoid playing (pre-)Crowded House!

BOS4 a U2 that isn't "I Will Follow".  This set has been quite impressive. A "classic" worthy of the classification.

So'd anyone hear the Morning Show today--is Dave just out today or is he taking the week off?

Woah--early U2, and another major rarity. Out of Control, only once in the DB.

Definitely a BOS #2 for U2.

Followed by Steve walking warily down the street. BOS #3

all week. But if the other "classics" are as impressive as this one, I won't mind. I'm even willing to forgive hearing Queen for the umpteenth time, the rest has been so enjoyable.
