And we got to hear her say "Oh MAN! songs were too short back then" one last time. How fitting.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Beatles "I'm Looking Through You"
Yay, and BOS.

Ditto. Rubber Soul = Beatles Unplugged.

Also BOS votes for the Supremes (whatever it was) Jackie DeShannon, the 4 Tops and Four Seasons.
Let's get right to it.

This set is nearly a year old, so she really did some digging. Originally aired March 19 of last year.

http://10at10club.com/forum/index.php?topic=9376.0

ETA: This really was one of her better sets, particularly that early in her tenure. Here's the setlist from the original thread.

1. Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
(TV: Rocky and Bullwinkle.)
2. Animals - We Gotta Get Outta This Place
3. Jackie DeShannon - What The World Needs
4. Four Seasons - Let's Hang On
5. Four Top - I Can't Help Myself
6. McCoys - Hang on Sloopy
(Commerical: We're the Beach Boys)
7. The Beach Boys - Help Me, Rhonda
8. The Kinks - A Well Respected Man
9. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - The Tracks of My Tears
(News: Beatles forever.)
10. The Beatles - I'm Looking Through You

Did Renee have any final words regarding her stint as hostess of 10@10?

I knew today's would be a '60s set, as I heard the promo, and Renee said it was going "back, back, back"...

She talked about how she was moving slow because she had a stiff neck, which she somehow
injured while applying hair products (I am not making this up).  She did acknowledge well-wishers,
but noted that she wasn't leaving, just moving to the earlier slot.  No other "final words" about her
10@10 hosting, at least not immediately following the commercial break.

The McCoys took BOS today (it was Smokey Robinson & the Miracles the first time around), with
an extremely honorable mention for the Rocky & Bullwinkle clip.

Not her best '60s set, but certainly one of the better ones, and perhaps in the top 5% overall.
In total this week was well above average for her.

Indeed, rather than the 5-day 80s fest we feared, we got two early-80s sets, one each from the 70s and 60s, and one theme set. 

Looking forward to Annalisa's return.  I somehow doubt we're going to return to her heyday pre-DC, when she was pretty much programming the entire thing herself and we'd get 2 or 3 pre-80s sets a week. But things should be  nowhere near as dismal as they were after DC's edicts were put into practice. If the general breakdown of sets follow the pattern we saw last week, with a 90s set thrown in every other week or so, I'd be quite pleased with that.
