If Bob can come up with one lost gem on a par with the Patti Smith cut the Peak played in their '79 set earlier, I'll be happy.

Bit of over-acting from his stand-in on the front-announce, no?

BadCO: "Gone Gone Gone" -- haven't heard this in quite a while.

The guy sitting in for Bob is a tad... snarky.

With "Beautiful Girls" as evidence, I'd argue that those chrome-plated-sheen background vocals define VH's then-unique sound as much as Eddie's guitar wizardry.

Yeah; and we even got MP clips in someone's '75 set last week.  Demerits for the newbie!

Lowell George's death cited as an example of "cruel to be kind"?!  Either he has no idea what that phrase means, or he's WAY snarkier than Aidin V ever dreamed of being!

That songs seems quite the Aerosmith cop to me. Not that that's a bad thing.  Maybe Aerosmith could cover it on the inevitable VH tribute CD.

VHM2: the Iggles' "Sad Cafe", Henley does this sort of thing better than most. And it's one of the cuts from Long Run that doesn't get overplayed. Tho' I'd've preferred "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks"...

Sorry, but I still think the Scissor Sisters did a far better take on "Comfortably Numb."

Ha!  I was thinking the exact same thing -- clearly DLR had been listening to a bit of "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" to get his rap down.

Finally getting sound, now that I restarted my laptop.

Holy Grail was indeed '75, for '79 he shoulda played Life of Brian.

I'll tell you my favorite line from LoB if you tell me yours.   :wink:

Not me, "Greeks..." is one of my least fave Iggles tunes.  "Sad Cafe" otoh, is a minor masterpiece.

indeed, it totally rules. Immensely clever. And you can dance to it. I give it an 87.

BOS to that Dog Day Afternoon clip.  I'd forgotten how powerful that was.

LOL!  I love it when Pacino goes over the top.

Did I tell you guys about the ringtone I downloaded from Frank Caliendo (of Mad TV fame) wherein he does that exact bit? (with a very good Pacino impression. too)  Goes like this...

I'm out of order!?
You're out of order!
YOU'RE out of order!!
THIS WHOLE PLACE IS...
...hold on, I got a phone call.

BOS to Cheap Trick while I'm at it.

2 frink points for Mike, -2 pts for Gaz.

ETA: the obligatory over-the-top Pacino moment in Dog Day Afternoon was "ATTICA!!!  ATTICA!!!"

that's OK -- yesterday I thought Blind Faith was Traffic.  We all have to do a tambourine solo now and then...

for the record, my favorite quote from DDA is the following exchange

Sonny: Kiss me.
Det. Sgt. Eugene Moretti: What?
Sonny: Kiss me. When I'm being fucked, I like to get kissed a lot.

Can't resist.

"He's NOT the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!!!"

Runner-up: "I'll have two round ones, a flat one, and a packet of gravel."

And yours?

Brian has enjoyed a conjugal visit with his girlfriend & is awakening in the early morning.  He goes to the window & throws open the curtain only to find that in the alley below are the assembled masses of his 'followers'.  He hastily covers his nakedness with the curtain, while the congregation cries out, "Teach us master!"  He says "Love one another" & a lays a few other homilies on them & concludes with, "You should be individuals."

To which the crowd responds in perfect unison, "We ARE Individuals!!!"

...except for one disgruntled fellow who stomps off, muttering, "Well I'm not."

This to me is the second greatest line in history, right after Marcel Marceau has the only spoken line in Mel Brooks' Silent Movie.  

...which tells you all you need to know about my perverse sense of humor.

Crowd (to Brian's mother):  Are you a virgin?
Brian's mother:  I'm not going to tell you that!
Person in crowd:  Yep, she's a virgin...
