Interesting cover of "Dancing Days".  Where did this originally show up?

8. Dancing Days (Zep cover)

I think this is off a Zeppelin tribute record, iirc.

ETA: Yep, this one:

I suppose the last 2 songs will have to be Velvet Revolver & whatever his last project was called.

ETA:  I was wrong!  Here's my "Vasoline".

One of the top entries on my list of songs under 3:00 that desreved to be a lot longer.  Cream's "Badge" is #1 on this list.

No! You win the Vasoline!

I wonder if they spelled it like that to avoid copyright problems.

9. Vasoline

I was kind of hoping that too, but it's sounding at this point that it'll be an all-STP set.

I saw STP twice (on consecutive nights of the same tour; I was there to see the Meat Puppets and Redd Kross, who were opening) and this was the song they opened with. Gotta say, it made for a pretty bombastic way to start their show, with lights and smoke and guitars screaming.

or because they couldn't spell?   Vaseline is technically "petroleum jelly" and petroleum is gasoline, so it probably made sense to them.

"Sex Type Thing" to wrap.

[Davefish]

I don't remember what this last Metallica-like song is called.

[urth]

And we finish, oh so tastefully, with Sex Type Thing.

[Big Fingers McGee]

Scott Weiland/STP - they were what they were, which in my book was decent enough. I wonder if this idea will get be repeated if someone similar passes.

I often wondered how the second half of the 1990's would have gone if it had been Weiland who had died instead of Kurt Cobain. Now their paths have evidently crossed.
