Blubberboy put on a good show back in the day. Saw them in 82 as a matter of fact, and they were on a bill w Iron Maiden, The Nooge and Foreigner.

Wire Train may well be in Tokyo, But this is Translator -- a Moreytrina if ever there was.

WOS Loverboy, of course.

Well, there's "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon...

And Neil Young knows a town in North Ontario, but that's not exactly Nova Scotia.

same record label though, maybe that's what threw you off.

Even more cheese form Survivor, who, ahhh, didn't exactly survive after the early Eighties.

BOS Foreigner, "Jukebox Hero" which is a bustout as far as the Db is concerned.  Any doubt that TC agrees with me?
Title: Re: 7 October 2009: it's 1982

And there's "Mushaboom" by Feist, which is a town in Nova Scotia, I think.  Probably still not what you're thinking of.

And the cheeze just keeps on coming with Foreigner "Jukebox Hero".

yay! Foreigner, who are touring again -- without Lou Gramm -- so, we ask, why bother?

if we get The Nooge (unlikely)  and Iron Maiden (even more unlikely)  we will achieve heaviosity in the 80s stadium crap rock department:

Indeed, today appears to be our weekly visit to the cheeze counter.

And I had no idea that "Mushaboom" was anything but a made-up word.

that was indeed clever, and nearly redeems this set, which is not doing it for me, overall.  And now Missing 'Trinas, "Destination Katrina".   If AL wanted to continue the hunger/eating theme, she shoulda played "Maneater". Jus' sayin'.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Mr. Money, since he kicked off the first stadium show I ever saw, and he really kicked it.  And ITIIL is something we haven't head here for over 6 yrs.

yes, yes, YES, OMG YES!  I agree with you...  The rock guitar (is it Warren Cavullo?) giving some 'nads to the quirky vox new wavi-ness of it all reminds me of the Cars and how they broke on the scene w their sound.

"I think I'm in love

er... WHAT??

more cheeze from the Money Man. X notwithstanding, this is one of the more annoying '82 sets since Dave's paint-by-numbers days.

BOS Letterman's first show.

Hey, cut us some slack. It's not like he's Erik Claptin or Jimmy Hendricks. :D

Btw, 'twas I who commented to AL about the "hunger trifecta" that she ref'd in the backsell.
