Wed 12/14/11: Color Me 10@10!

Green Tambourine to start.

unnecessary no matter what the year (or theme): Brown-Eyed Girl.

Nice day for a White 'Trina.

Oh Percy, you Black Dog!

Green-Eyed Lady -- the loooong version!

Bruce drives up in his Pink Caddy (or "Pahnk" Cadillac, as he pronounces it)

3DN in living Black&White. BOS.

VHM "Behind Blue Eyes"

OK, this is too much green for one set.  CCR, Green River

also unnecessary: "Mr Blue Sky"

Lemon Pipers - Green Tambourine 
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl 
Billy Idol - White Wedding 
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog 
Sugarloaf - Green Eyed Lady   
Bruce Springsteen - Pink Cadillac 
Three Dog Night - Black and White   
Who - Behind Blue Eyes 
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River   
Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky 

I did not know that: "Bruce wouldn't let Bette Midler record 'Pink Cadillac' becuase he said it was 'not a girl's song' " -- Bet her version woulda been better than Natalie Cole's!

I thought "Angie" was about Anita Pallenberg, who was gorgeous back in the day.  That's what I read somewhere anyway.
