Trifectas happen so rarely -- too bad it couldn't be 3 '68 sets or 3 '72s.

Interesting set, dating from 12/11/2006, for those who like to look ahead.

ETA: "1999" has been TotHK thrice, and none of those sets have been classics until now.

Trifectas happen so rarely -- too bad it couldn't be 3 '68 sets or 3 '72s.

There were three possible sets that led off with 1999 in the DB--this is the most recent (12/11/06). But it looks like it's pretty good, save for one song by the band who shall not be named (hint: rhymes with Hens That Shirk).

Hey! The DB said we were supposed to hear the Where Did Our Love Go medley of Tainted Love--where'd it go?

Nope, thankfully.

And I won't spoil what *is* coming, but I can tell you that this set is not only nuclear free but also Human League free.

I can give "Underground" a VHM.  I always thought that this was really a good album top to bottom, except, ironically, for the two #1 singles it contained.

Yep, that's the name; it was on Sunburst Finish. And it spawned the title of their obligatory (in the late 70s) double-live set, Live in the Air Age.

I haven't ever caught him online, as my current gig is using AIM for IM communications, not YM. But I'm with you--I'd be a little scared of intruding on his personal time. Of course, he'd probably ignore me anyway.

I did have a snazzy party playing music in the garage, featuring the old KFOG playlist pretty much.  We did "Life During Wartime", "China Grove", "Already Gone", "Crocodile Rock" and many more, including "Listen to Her Heart" which we put together just for the occasion.  I played bass a lot of the time since our original bassist wasn't available.  I have the two greatest (worst?) blisters on my 2nd and 3rd fingers.

Ditto, Happy Belated Bday Dave!!

We could jam in Dave's Garage, his wife was screaming "Turn it Down"!!
We were playing the same old songs, and sometimes we would play it all night long,
It was all we knew and easy too, so we couldn't get it wrong,
Even when we played it on the saxophone...
