This better be better (you bet) than Bob's set earlier -- but I'm not optimistic.

Almost exactly what I said in my (now nuked) version of this thread.

Winwood leading off. Spanish Dancer? The lo-o-o-o-ong version?

ETA: Nope, Night Train. Been awhile since I heard this one.

HM at least; listening between classes.  Forcing the students to listen!  Greatest synth bass lines ever.

VHM to my second favorite song on this album, not a bustout, but one that Dave hasn't played in over 3 years.

Wish the Temps or 4 Tops had thought to cover this somewhere along the line. That was obviously what Costello was going for with the arrangement of this one, would have been nice to hear the real thing take a whack at it.

Commenting on Princess Di's dress - "it has BIG sleeves...I think if you'd asked a girl to draw a dress of a princess she'd draw a dress just like that..."

Anyone else think that was actually some very subdued British snarkiness?

Yep, Quarterflash at their peak. My college concert board did a show with them--they were quite nice folks, not at all full of themselves.

Trivia: What was the band's name before they changed it (with good reason) to Quarterflash?

Too late.  I agree with Gaz on the Freakishness of this Jinx & also that I can't believe 3 of us knew that off the tops of our heads.

And let's not forget we're supposed to be watching for vinyl here. The Joe Dolce track definitely was (likely the 45), and I'm going to surmise the Quarterflash was off the LP.

And he can't get docked any points in comparison for that since Bob played it, too.

I hadn't heard that part about Hinckley getting kicked out of the Nazi party before.
