Driftwood is a great song.  Justin Hayward at his best.

I was wondering where everyone was hiding. I've been here since Foreigner.

fwiw, the TotHK was Foreigner "Long, Long Way From Home," which was a big bustout last Oct 13 when this set first aired.  Nice set top to bottom in fact.

Howdy Princess!  I was thinking of you often on Friday,first 'cuz it was your b-day, and then again when the LA station played 3DN "Never Been To Spain".

Did you have a funtime?

Yes! I still am. :) I ate scallops, shrimp and lamb. And drank lots of pear liqueur. France is the bee's knees.

BOS #2 & proxy for Tinka, Cars "All Mixed Up", best song on that LP imho.  And a fitting segue coming out of the Jonestown clip.

Yes, it's from a Greek film, called "Touch of Spice" in English.

does the Moodies song Driftwood  actually start with the five note theme of Close Encounters of the Third Kind?  

If not, I'll give it a VHM.  

pretty cool, those hippies!

I can't remember if "My Life" was the theme to the Scolari/Hanks sitcom...?

Bosom Buddies?  I think you're right.

VHM Joe Walsh Indian Summer, which my MP3 player served up while I was walking the dog this morning.

Had an impromptu meeting with our contractor, so missed everything up to If I Can't Have You (or whatever it's called).

And turns out I missed most of the damn set. Oh well.

HM to Yvonne Elliman.  Yeah, she might be a "whiny face" but I think she's hot.  and I love the urgency of this song.

BOS to Joe Walsh.  (btw, he does an open tuning of sorts on his guitar here, for all you axe wielders) .  When I saw Joe at the Fillmore in 2000(?), I was waiting for this one, and he obliged! (high five, bro!) 

Of course, it was right then that my girlfriend decided to ask me some COMPLETELY UNRELATED and DISTRACTING question that I couldn't address with a simple Yes or No, so I shushed her and said "I NEED TO HEAR HIM PLAY THIS!"  It didn't go over well w her.

yes, a good one.  I laughed at that yesterday for more than one reason: I was thinking of the phrase "old saw" when I saw that comic, and as soon as Yvonne Elliman came on, I KNEW someone was going to trot out that phrase and refer to her as "Old Whinyface" yet again!  ;)

I would have included tunes #5 & 9 in that category.  In 1978 all my HS classmates were going to a disco place called Michael's & the Time Machine (& the fact that the main disco club in St. Louis county was an all-ages club tells you a whole bunch of things about the midwest).  But anyway, I distinctly remember that both of these tunes were big favorites.  Curious which one wouldn't make your cut.

Either way, neither 1 nor 2 tunes really makes this a disco set,

I don't consider the ONJ a disco tune; too slow. But I'm sure it made the cut in a Midwestern club. ::) Actually, the ELO is closer to disco than ONJ.

In retrospect, the funniest part of all this is that it makes me seriously wonder how many of my disco-loving classmates went out & got coked up & molested at that club. (keep in mind that I was my high school's only proghead in 1977-78, before becoming one of only 3 or 4 punk-minded kids in 1978-79.  Not that we had mohawks & safety pins, mind, but we did listen to it & play it on our HS radio station.)

8.  Billy Joel - My Life
listening to this in the car today, it really seemed like a McCartney wanna-be song!
