This was a pretty good set.  While I'm glad to see a 60's set, especially after the funeral announcement, I would expect it to be a cliche-riddled affair.   I don't think that was true here.  I'm obligated to BOS Junior Walker, but the Beach Boys tune is sublime, and I love the Stones tune, which isn't usually the case with all the overplayed usual Stones suspects we hear.  And the Byrds?  Dessert topping treat!

Agreed. I half-expected "1969 For Dummies" which this was def not.  Apparently the (late) '60s will be trotted out on rare occasions when the calendar dictates (as it did today with Carlos' B-day/Moon landing)
