18 Nov 2016: it's... 1985
« on: November 18, 2016, 10:03:41 AM »
it's their 85th show so it's 1985.  Looks like a decent mix of rare or rare-ish gems and a couple FFs.

Early BOS Wham's "Freedom", which I've always preferred to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"

FYC's fine "Suspicious Minds" cover and Bowie's "Loving the Alien" are also BOS contenders for me.

It's a set with everything but Yul Brynner!

another rarity: Russ Ballard "Fire Still Burns", a nice segue after the Mad Max Thunderdome clip.

and we close with a rockin' Robert Palmer track that is NTM.  Overall, a good set.
