But OH! your hair is BOS!  Haven't heard "Atomic" on US radio in ages (it was a big hit in the UK so CG plays it regularly).

Can't recall a 1980 "classic" this good since don't-know-when.

uh-oh -- Maragrtita Man approaches.



This is, btw, a 'new' classic, as the only other time I have a record of "Up the Neck" being played it was the TotHC.


By 'new' you mean the first time it's been repeated, yes?

How great it must be to be Jimmy Buffet.  Always playing feel-good music to an appreciative crowd, playing if sandals and shorts, and working with a hot group of musician.


And watching that bank account get bigger and bigger and bigger.

OMG! BOS3 T.Heads!  This really IS a classic worthy of the name.

Do you know any of them Geoff?  Peter & Jim Mayer are old family friends of my folks' from St. Louis.

I never met them in my day, but know by reputation that it's a crack crew, often with special guests.

No, I mean this whole set constitutes a new entry.  For all I know it first played in 1990 & has been repeated 6 or 7 times, but it never got caught by Darryl, thus it's bonafide data for me.

Given what we know about Dave not keeping track of what he plays... do ya think they even know what songs are involved when they pull a "classic" off the shelf?

Good GOD! Stephanie Mills!!!  Best 1980 set of all time!

It does seem to be hitting all the good parts of 80 and none of the dreck. Wonder if we'll hear Steely Dan? I was shocked not to hear a Lennon tune after the clips re: his murder.

BTW, BOS3 to THeads for me, too.

Peter (rhythm guitar), Jim (bass, which is why i thought maybe you'd know him) & their drummer, Roger Guth, have been Coral Reefers for about 2 decades now & Peter is the musical director.  But they started as a trio in St. Louis & for about a year they worked out a female vocalist (special ed. teacher by day, just a couple years removed from college), but then she moved to L.A. to strike it rich.  Gal by the name of Sheryl Crow.

Exactly. They were released about 4 months apart--Remain in Light in October 1980 and Bush of Ghosts in Feb of 81 (per AMG).

VVHM to Shadow of a Doubt too, a nice less-heard track from the Damn the Torpedoes album.

VHM TP&TH. I'm really glad I stuck around for this set!

Lessee... Stephanie Mills was BOS4, so that makes "Biko" BOS5...
