Pretty predictable lead in, but BOS (film and song) from me anyway.
Now I'm eight bits...

But seriously: the idea that RR actually sat down and went thru the playlists of EVERY 10@10 she's ever done to find her "favorites" is pretty hilarious.

Sure... why not?  Her tenure at 10@10 is just under a year and a half, or about 74 weeks.  That's
370 sets.  Subtract encores and theme sets and it's well under 350.  If she's looking for the best
shows, then anything after about 1988 can be written off (grin), bringing the number down in the
neighborhood of 225.  That's not so many.  In any case, if I had put together two or three hundred
set lists, I'm sure a relatively small number of favorites would come to mind.

I'm hoping for one of the stellar late '60s sets that we got last summer, but as I'd place '71 in
that group, this may be it.  Nonetheless, I'd rate today's encore as one of her best sets, bolstered
as it is by an exceptionally strong year.
