14 May 2007--it's 1980

[RGMike]

Izzis U2???

ETA: Gotta be.  Never heard it before, as far as I know.  Kinda reminds me of James.

Yep, absolutely.

But I have no clue who this R&B tune is.

El Debarge.  Googled it.

Thanks for sussing that out. I bet Mike will be bummed at missing this. I'm almost positive this would be a bustout.

Oops.  Guess Google has failed me, and I failed you.  I blame myself!  Switch, eh?
ETA:  But...
Switch were:

Bobby DeBarge (vocals) d. 16th August, 1995, from A.I.D.S.
Tommy DeBarge (vocals)
Eddie Fluellan (keyboards / trombone / vocals)
Renard Gallo (percussion / vocals)
Attala Zane Giles (keyboards)
Phillip Ingram (vocals)
Greg Williams (keyboards / vocals)
Jody Sims (drums)
Gonzales Ozen (percussion / vocals)
and Gregory Williams (keyboards / vocals)

Switch were another Ohio funk band, who began as First Class in 1975...

OMFG Dave played Switch?!?  major bustout, and a fine choice. The DeBarge boys all sound the same to me, tho.

Dang me, I got out of the car in the middle of the U2 tune & missed the Bustout!

Gary Numan is a real sledgehammer for me in a 1980 set, tied to some very specific memories of the spring of my senior year in HS.  Wish Dave & the rest would play some other tunes by him (I think Rob does, but I so seldom get to hear his sets)

I'm looking forward to 10pm -- Prince AND Switch in the same set is pretty impressive for the often '80s R&B-impaired Dave.  Nobody was around at the end to say "VHM Flo & Eddie on backing vox" -- LOL!

BOS2 for Althea.  Always liked the groove on this one.

Ditto from me.  I was just now thinking while I'm listening, how the Grateful Dead often seems so "timeless" in that their songs don't seem tied to a specific year or era.  Hmmmmm...

digging the replay:  This must be a Katrina mathematically, but is so tasty to hear.  Nobody plays this on the radio, it just seems to be a Dave Fave.  This is a song the real Deadheads love, and not one of the usual suspects.

Snap, Crackle, and Pop!

Just to be contrary: I don't think "timeless" is quite the right word. All their stuff -- even the '80s tunes -- evokes tie-dyed '70s for me.  (Translation: it's all quite similar to the non-Deadhead. :-) )
