BOS Level 42.

Two ways this could go, and there is a big difference between them.  If the next song gets a WOS vote, you know it's the lesser of the two sets.

Hrm. I actually like this Clarence/Jackson B tune. VHM.

the other set that leads off with Level 42 has Bryan Adams in the on deck circle.  And it's a much worse set imho.

No worries, this would be the preferable of the two sets.

Mike will certainly give an ecstatic BOS to tune #5, which was a bustout on March 1, 2007.  Almost precisely 2 yrs ago.

Me too!  I don't just think it, I'm always disappointed when it isn't.  Of course that would be a 1985 song.

Ya can't go dissing the Big Man.  So I'd noted at Bruce concerts that Clarence wasn't looking too spry.  I wondered if he was sick, but it turns out he's just old.  67!  I had no idea he was that old.

ETA: Speaking of the Big Man, BOS for Dire Straits tribute to Clarence.

Dave was on his segue game when he made this set.

TANC: I was listening to a newly discovered AAA/Classic rock station from Corvallis yesterday, and they played The Man's Too Strong. At the time, I thought, "wow, haven't heard this in awhile."  So of course I should have known it would pop up again. Soon.

Btw, the station has the semi-unfortunate call letters KLOO. They pronounce it "clue" but every time they spell it out I think K-LOO and thank god they don't have many listeners in the UK.

This reminded me that in September of '85, in the space of about a week, I saw Dire Straits three times and Springsteen twice. Quite a week. Oh, to have that much stamina now.

between that Jindal thing & the Reagan clip I've got the Rant about the Right Wing thought process going in my head right now, so I can't help but visualize Karl Rove singing this song to W.

Dire Straits 3x?  whoa.

I saw them once in 85, too.  Stevie Ray Vaughan opened up for them in toronto.  He was one tough act to follow, and I'm afraid Mark & Co., weren't up to it.  Apparently their light show wasn't functioning and the resulting show did seem to lack something.

Yeah, I was totally over the moon for Making Movies and Love Over Gold, and I'd never seen them so I kinda went overboard. Two shows at Concord, and one more in Sacramento. Then a couple nights off, then two nights of Bruce at Oakland Stadium at the end of the BITUSA juggernaut. Probably not the best place to get the full Bruce experience.

Haven't seen Straits since, seen Bruce many times since.

See if you'd said "shamelessly recycling Power Station", I wouldn't have argued much either. 

But I always loved Palmer ever since his debut, Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley.

I'll say Hooray for Ric Ocasek.  

give him some credit: he over came great odds, overall fugliness and suckiness to become a rock god and marry the statuesque Paulina Poritzkova!  :)


(ETA: I don't think he sucks that much, actually.  the Cars' first 2 records are fantastic.  After that, it's spotty, I'll give you that.)

Indeed, a great record. Although it seemed like most of his 70s records have at least a few good songs on each one.
