31 Dec 2015: it's... a "classic" New Year's Eve thru the '80s

[RGMike]

"we'll time-travel thru the '80s, New Year's Eve style!" sez AL on the promo. So, it's a Vertical Tasting kinda deal?

ETA: it's a rerun.

There was a prerecorded announcement that today's set would be an encore, so maybe AL is taking today off?

It's a New Years encore set from 1980 -- with Devo leading the charge.
