Dumb question, maybe, but... this was "the SF Sound Part 2" -- instead of giving us all those shows from the same week in October, why didn't they just repeat the entire "SF Sound" series this week? It was timeless, and seemed custom-made for replay during a week without Dave.
I've been wondering that myself. Not so much about the SF Sound series, but why they'd cherrypick 4 sets from within a week of one another (turns out three were from three consecutive days of the same week--76, 87, and 74, while the fourth (82) was from the following Tuesday). Whatever. I somehow doubt DM had much say in it--probably all the PD's doing.
As for the SF Sound sets, they would have indeed made a good week's worth of classics. I checked my files, and found I had decided three of the four were worthy of archiving. The only one that wasn't? The one we heard today. The other three had some pretty significant nuggets (Beau Brummels, Sons of Champlin, Vince Guaraldi, Charlatans, Dead Kennedys, to name just a few) but I didn't see that kind of quality in this one. Here's the lists of all four if you care to peruse (the sets originally aired April 9 thru 12 of 2007, for the record).
