ETA:

predicted retreads: Enter Sandman or Silient Lucidity (pick one), All This Time or Losing My Religion (pick one), I Adore Mi Amore or More Than Words (pick one), Right Here, Right Now or Unbelievable (pick one).


Here's the first and probably not the last, but I have to give Dave at least a little credit for getting through half the set before getting predictable.


And here's another.  I should amend my choices to make it: Shiny Happy People or Losing My Religion (pick one), and then All This Time or something else from Soul Cages (pick one).


Shoulda stuck with your original picks. The Sandman returneth.
Let's get right to it.

ah, the overly-familiar strains of "Enter Sandman". Predictability-wise, this set has gone to hell rather swiftly.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Thank God for the buzzer.  

I'm thinking KGSR Austin for the rest of the day -- SXSW is going on, and they'll be having lots of surprise in-studio performances going on, should you care.

I didn't retract my heavy metal pick (I'm not THAT big a fool), I just expanded my REM & Sting picks.

Oh. I figured since you didn't mention it when you amended the other guesses, it had gone by the wayside.

Ha!  Actually he's played the PM Dawn often enuf (too often for my taste) but ANYTHING from that Prince album would be most welcome.

Just as long as we're spared Color Me Badd's "All 4 Love"...


Well I'm only about halfway done with my project of converting Darryl's info into a spreadsheet, but I had to see if your comment holds up.  With Darryl's website I have access to a continuous list from May '04, and about 60% of the sets from 12/01 to 2/04.

Specific to 1991, incl. today, I now have the last 12 setlists from that year, plus six more from '02 & '03.  We probably hit '91 another 5-7 times in that period, but Darryl is incomplete.  Of these 18 sets 2 are classics, but not duplicates.  There is no PM Dawn in there anywhere.  Today 9/10 tunes were repeats.   Can you guess the only bustout? (answer below)

Once I have this stuff in Excel it's pretty easy to manipulate.  The following tunes show up more than once in 18 sets from 1991, and some of these will surprise you.  For example "Silent Lucidity" only popped up twice, "All This Time" only once & "Shiny Happy People" not at all (and you'll never guess which REM song was the most frequent)

EMF - "Unbelievable", 7
Matthew Sweet - "Girlfriend", 7
Jesus Jones - "Right Here, Right Now ", 6
REM - "Texarkana", 6
Extreme - "More Than Words", 5
INXS - "Shining Star", 5
Metallica - "Enter Sandman", 5
Primal Scream - "Movin' On Up", 5
REM - "Losing My Religion", 5
Seal - "Crazy", 5
Big Audio Dynamite - "Rush", 4
Crowded House - "It's Only Natural", 4
Rembrandts - "Just the Way it is, Baby!", 4
Simple Minds - "Stand By Love", 4
Bonnie Raitt - "Tangled & Dark", 3
Color Me Badd - "All 4 Love", 3
Crash Test Dummies - "Superman's Song", 3
Fixx - "How Much is Enough", 3
John Mellencamp - "Love & Happiness", 3
Marc Cohn - "29 Ways", 3
Matthew Sweet - "I've Been Waiting", 3
Simple Minds - "See the Lights", 3
Web Wilder - "Tough it Out", 3
Black Crowes - "Twice As Hard", 2
Bodeans - "Paradise", 2
Bonnie Raitt - "Something to Talk About", 2
Bonnie Raitt & Delbert McClinton - "Good Man, Good Woman", 2
Chris Whitley - "Big Sky Country", 2
Crowded House - "Fall At Your Feet", 2
Dire Straits - "Fade to Black", 2
Dire Straits - "The Bug", 2
Gary Moore - "Still Got the Blues", 2
Gerardo - "Rico Suave", 2
Iggy Pop - "Candy", 2
LAs - "There She Goes", 2
Mark Cohn - "Silver Thunderbird", 2
Nuclear Valdez - "(Share a Little) Shelter", 2
Pear Jam - "Black", 2
Queensryche - "Silent Lucidity", 2
Siouxsie & the Banshees - "Kiss Them For Me", 2
Talking Heads - "Sax & Violins", 2
Voice of the Beehive - "Monsters & Angels", 2

The only bustout today?

"Breaking The Girl"
