Tue 8/21/12: Cover Me

let's hope there's a few gems here.

Brooooce's Mitch Ryder medley is a decent start. VHM.

John Cougar Mellon'de'cello covering Van the man is rather snoozeworthy at this point.

EJ, "LSD", VHM -- feat Dr. Winston O. Boogie.


Molly Hatchet, "Dreams I'll Never See" -- Allmans cover. I'd much rather hear the orig.

Stones ain't too proud to cover the Tempts. VHM.

uber-LN: the Doobs find Jeebus. Also LN-ish: the 'oo "Summertime Blooze"

VHM VH -- better their version of "Dancing in the Street" than Jagger/Bowie.

I shot the Crapton with a WOS.

eeek: Styx doing a medley of CSNY's "Find the Cost of Freedom" and Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" -- uh, because both songs have "Find" in the title? Wha?

Springsteen - Devil With The Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly
John Mellencamp - Wild Night 
Elton John - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 
Molly Hatchet - Dreams I'll Never See
Rolling Stones - Ain't Too Proud To Beg 
Doobie Brothers - Jesus is Just Alright 
Who - Summertime Blues 
Van Halen - Dancing in the Streets   
Eric Clapton - I Shot the Sheriff 
Styx - Find the Cost of Freedom/Can't Find My Way Home

Wed 8/22/12: 1987

yikes, this can't be good. Can it?

George has his mind set on an uber-LN; Lindsay and the Mac get it up for big big love.

Take back Tom Petty. Take back this uber-LN.  WOS1 "Jammin Me"

WOS2 Whitesnake.

Robbie Robertson's "Showdown at Big Sky" gets an HM for not being "Somewhere Down the Crazy River"

WOS3 Aerosmith.

"Sweet 'Trina o' My-eye-eyn"

uber-LN3: INXS.

One of the saddest stats in chart history: the godawful "Shakedown" was Seger's only #1 single.  WOS4.

uber-LN4: U2.  And ya give... and ya give.... Man, this set was painful.

George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You   
Fleetwood Mac - Big Love   
Tom Petty - Jammin' Me 
Whitesnake - Is This Love 
Robbie Robertson - Showdown at Big Sky 
Aerosmith - Angel   
Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine 
Inxs - Need You Tonight   
Bob Seger - Shakedown   
U2 - With or Without You

VHM Fever Tree. Out here it's summertime, but you'd never know by the temperature.

Whut can a po'ah bo'ah doo? 'cept to BOS4 the Stones.

uber-LN2 Otis on the dokkadah bay.

BOS5 Steppenwolf -- GodDAYUM da pusha mayun.

Beatles - Hey Jude
