15 Oct 2014: it's... 1982

am I crazy or did we only hear 9 songs? What did I miss?

'snipes agree - only 9 songs.

Did AL miscount today?

Seems that way. Happens to the best of them -- Dave did it at least twice that I recall, and once he was so flummoxed when he realized during the backsell that he bailed out and played the outro without finishing the setlist.

Henley, "Dirty Laundry". Still a fine song, relevant as ever, but also sorta LN.

I was trolling these archives, expecting to find Mike dissing this song, and to my surprise, only a 'sorta LN!'  A ringing endorsement if I ever heard one!  Besides a classic song, a great guitar solo I believe by Joe Walsh?

Oh, I'd never say it's not a good song -- often overexposed but never bad. I usually say that if Henley had never been an Eagle, this song and "End of the Innocence" would've put him in the pantheon of important lyicists.  And, like a lot of socially-conscious '60s lyrics ("Eve of Destruction" comes to mind) the situations described in "DL" have not only NOT changed, they've gotten worse.

apparently she mentioned the TalkTalk song in her backannounce but didn't actually play it. It woulda been just another FF in this set.

[Here'sToYa!]

thread's up.

and indeed, it's years ending in "2" this week.  Someone actually requested "Don't Stop Believin'", which Dred played last nite on Connected.

That was veteran dj Dusti Rhodes; I suppose one might expect more creativity from her.

'snipes agree - only 9 songs.

9 songs just like an Austin Bob set, and if she'd played Talk Talk instead of Man in a Uniform then all songs could have been played in a Bob set.

Or maybe not, judging by her 10@10 requests.
