nicely played.

Come on now. AL would only fill about half the set with this type of number. The other half is generally more interesting.

with the possible exception of Arrested D (which Dave actually played once, iirc) I believe AL has played #s 2 thru 9 in one 1993 set or another.

Agreed, but my point was they wouldn't all be played in the same set.
