20 May 2008--it's a year o mystery (1990)
« on: May 20, 2008, 10:00:52 AM »
World Party sounds like 89 90 to me.

ETA: Revisionism at its finest.

World Party gave me no clue, but "Been Caught Stealing" says '90 to me.

first album was 86 or 87, but Goodbye Jumbo is indeed '90.  This may be as good as it gets. Yeesh, "Been Caught Katrinin'".  I do believe I'll bail for the second day in a row, I can't recall a 1990 set that ever made me happy.

Of course now we know its 90, which was a blur of a year for me

If I can just hear the clip of Rosanne screeching the nat'l anthem, my day will be complete  ;)

BOS #2 Don Henley "Heart of the Matter", which was a bustout the first time around.

And except for a couple of songs, was a pretty decent set. I remember hearing that Cheney clip that segued into The King is Half Undressed before.

My working definition of a Katrina is a song that appears in 20% or more of all sets, but I don't count dupe classics twice.  Below are the scores for this set, based on 31 sets from 1990.  If I *did* count dupe sets, then World Party, Jane's Addiction & Jellyfish would all be fully fledged Katrinas & Eric Johnson & Blues Traveler would be on the cusp.

World Party - "Way Down Now" - 6 - 19.4%
Jane's Addiction - "Been Caught Stealing" - 6 - 19.4%
John Farnham - "You're The Voice" - 4      
Jellyfish - "The King Is Half Undressed" - 6 - 19.4%
Don Henley - "The Heart Of The Matter" - 1      
Eric Johnson - "Cliffs Of Dover" - 5 - 16.1%
Paul Simon - "Born At The Right Time" - 2      
Michael Penn - "No Myth" - 10 - 32.3%
Blues Traveler - "But Anyway" - 5 - 16.1%
Del Amitri - "Kiss This Thing Goodbye" - 8 - 25.8%

I know he's the 'the whiner' but I love this song!
