Stevie's Always is TOTHC--not frequently played, but probably not a first-timer either.

Ah, there's Stevie, singing like Cookie Monster again.
Let's get right to it.

Here's my first BOS candidate, THeads, Psycho Killer. So far a little edgier '77 than what I was listening to at the time (Yes/Genesis/prog rock).

Heard ELO's Do Ya cover before this, can't recall what #2 was.

Pedantry: The song's called "As," since he already had one in his catalog called "Always."   :)

Indeed, you be right. Ya think he coulda just called it Always, part 2 or something. Would have been less confusing to some of us.

BOS1 went to Stevie; No. 2 goes to CSN for its simple elegance.  Trivia that I may have tried on y'alls already: What does this song have in common with Macca's "Picasso's Last Words"?

Or "Always '77," the way George Michael would later handle his second "Freedom."

Ah, Dave finds an excuse to play an excerpt from his recently acquired Fernwood 2-night bootleg DVD.

For some reason I feel like giving a BOS to 10CC "The Things We Do FOr Love".  Can't explain it really.

& VHM for the Rocky theme, too.

Punching meat now...running steps now...

yeah, this gets a BOS from me too. Likely a bustout, too--I'll be shocked if it's not.

Actually both this & the Stevie tunes were bustouts within the scope of my Db.  And Boston & the Heads were previously one-timers.  Pretty good set from the Katrina/lack thereof standpoint.

After reading the comment about lack of Katrinas, I was expecting better than "Dancing Queen", 10cc, Stephen Bishop and APP.  Kudos for Bill Conti, tho'.
