Is it just me, or did McGovern's voice in that clip sound an awfull lot like George H. W. Bush?

Play it Again Sam Woody and Diane --> "Heart of Gold". Closest to an egregious FF, but I'm not complaining.

Baby, it's The Guitar Man.

Haven't heard this in ages.

This was a delightful set.

WOW!  Uber BOS & a for sure proxy for Geoff:  "Free Four"

Years ago he found out that I didn't know this song & promptly emailed me the MP3 of it.

Got back in mid-Use Me. Didn't miss anything too obscure, and had a good chat with the boss, so all in all a good thing.

Loving hearing Free Four. Another BOS fo' sho'.
Let's get right to it.

'72 election McGovern ad --> "Nice to Be with You" -- BOS3 for my 2nd request of the day!  I'm gobsmacked!

ETA: and it's another song that's only appeared once before 6 years ago. Funny, you'd've thought it was right up Dave's alley, but no.

Nice that you managed to contribute two songs to the set -- were many of the others from the request thread? I haven't had a chance to look.

Only two previous appearances.

This was a delightful set.

I found it to be a big disappointment.  1972 has enormous potential for bust-outs,
yet today's set continued what has become an unfortunate pattern:  the earlier the year,
the fewer bust-outs in the show.  In the past two or three months we've been regularly seeing
three or four bust-outs in '80s and '90s sets; to not have any in 1972 seems to go beyond simple
negligence.

That's astounding. Not an FF so much as an LN, since it's certainly a song I've heard a billion times.

Outta-Space and Use Me and Heart of Gold were all requested; there were also several artists in the set who had other songs requested (Bread, Bowie).  Was surprised by the lack of Eagles and Dan Hicks.
