well, "Hot Fun..." and "Something in the Air" back-to-back are not exactly endearing this set to me.

Just starting to listen now.

But yeah, those warhorses both deserve to be put to pasture for awhile.

"25 Miles" as the TOTHK ain't too bad though.
Let's get right to it.

and the LNs keep on comin': "Get Back", "Build Me Up Buttercup"... only that live Airplane track from Woodstock (technically released in early '70, but whatevs) qualifies as a rarity.

Altamont --> Stones, "Gimme Cliché"

"A pretty robust set" he says.

If by "robust", he means "well worn", then yes.

Indeed. This reminded me of what we called a "Sixties for Dummies" set in the DC era. Balances out the rarities we got on Monday, I guess.

I meant to do some digging to see if I could turn up any other sets, by Dave, AL or Renee, that had more than 5 of the same songs in it. I'd put money that there are at least a couple.

I'd take that bet.

I found two sets* that had three of those songs, and a few others that had two,
but that's it.  You might find 1969 sets that had five or more of those artists.

My head is spinning from 3 weeks of teacher coach training.  Could someone translate for me what this means?
