"This is your Woodstock" -- easily one of the most overplayed sound-bites evah.

VHM U2 but I have low expectations today.

BOS1 Waterboys, "This is the Sea" -- a rarity if not a bustout, and a nice change from "Whole of the Moon" (much as I love the latter).

Proxy of Geoff, Stewart/Beck's "People Get Ready", something of a warhorse at this point but still quite nice.

Remember when "How Soon is Now?" was a serious rarity? Still one of the great songs of the decade. BOS3.

"Manic Moanday" to (presumably) close things out. 

This was much better than expected, I must say.

It would appear this and the Waterboys tune were bustouts.

The only other name that strikes me as being active at the time would be Neil Young.
