Looks like AL wants to stroll down Baker Street today.  Can't go too wrong with 1978.

I just lobbed a last-minute suggestion for H&O's "It's a Laugh". I like that "January Birthdays" set she's planning (Elvis, Bowie, etc). Could easily be a monthly thing.

VHM to BMBD (which I missed) and JS (despite Marty's overdelivery on the bridge).  Love the playful handclaps over the guitar solo.

BOS3 "Home & Dry" -- a non-"Baker" twin-spin. I'm intrigued now -- will she really not play the big hit? That would be fine with me but Fogheads may complain.

Mr Seger has some great songs that aren't overplayed radio chestnuts -- "Til it Shines" is but one of 'em. The Outlaws are kickin' country rock; the Eagles without the sap or smarm.

I've seen both Seger and The Outlaws over the years, their shows are straight ahead music, simple stage setup with no special lighting, no flashpots, no special effects, no costumes/no costume changes.  You want that with the Stones, Pink Floyd, etc, but sometimes its nice to have the focus on just the tunes.  BTW, I have a nice framed photo of Springsteen and Seger together on stage, signed by both, opening night of Bruce's River tour, Oct 1980, Ann Arbor, MI, won it from a radio station then.

Thanks, guys.  I actually would like to check out ELO - I don't have any of their music in my collection.  What's a good starter album to get?


Cool radio prize!  The only thing I've ever won on the radio were Eurythmics tickets from Live 105 in 1989.  They played the Cow Palace.  Awesome show!

They went thru a couple different phases, I like their middle period, the albums Face The Music and A New World Record:

In concert they were known for their elaborate flying saucer stage sets with lasers, check out some youtube vids.

oops! AL just posted that the Outlaws tune was from '75 not '78 (she had it scribbled in her "suggestion book" and couldn't read her own writing). mshray woulda caught that error. Me, I was just thrilled to be hearing the song, I guess.

One of my favorite Morey moments occurred when Razsty had a birthday, and Dave led off a 1981 set with arguably ELO's worst song. Of course, on my birthday Dave led off with "Walking On Sunshine".
