8 Feb 2017: It's... "Pass the Baton!"

Songs with some kind of link between them. Sounds fun. I'll play around 9:30, meeting at 10:00.

Clever idea, but not a song in the bunch I have any desire to hear :)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

This "Don't Fight It" song is new to me. Seems to be a duet of Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry. Don't think I'll seek this one out after the show.

So what's this gonna be? Bad adult contemporary duets that suck?

No need to hear Bryan Adams and Steve Perry, nor the anticipated Bryan Adams duet with someone else. No idea who that'll be, but it'll suck.

ETA: Oops, not Bryan Adams. John Waite.
At least the Babys is the best of John Waite.

ETAAgain: Hmmm, now the John Waite tune. So I guess I'm missing the ID of the tune leading into the Babys.

Well, hmmm. Is this Ann Wilson and Don Henley? Not getting the connections anymore.

OK, well the transition to "Life in the Fast Lane" at least makes sense. And it's not a lame ballad.

And I can take a crack at guessing the next song is "Life's Been Good".

Well, I got the Joe Walsh part right: "Analog Man". Don't know who else might be singing on this track.

ETA: Turns out it's Jeff Lynne, who also produced it. Which leads inevitably to the Traveling Wilburys.

A nice trope to build a set around, but by song #5 I gave in to the urge to peek at the setlist and realized there was not a single song there I need to hear again. I would urge him to go back to the drawing board and give it another try, and maybe shoot for a decade or so earlier (all of these songs, save for the Eagles, were from 1981 or later, I believe).
Let's get right to it.
