Wish the recording of McCarver had gone on a bit longer before the power cut--you hear a slight bit of uncertainty creep into his voice as the first wave hits, then Al Michaels breaks in saying "we're having an earthquake" and they're gone.

Based on the last 3 10@10's I was hoping for 1977, with Dave just subtracting 2 years each day.  Seeing patterns that didn't exist...

I'm curious--do any of them seem receptive to this? None of them were even born then, so it probably seems like ancient history to them.

After Ginger's spectacular '72 set just about anything would be a letdown, but '89 being one of our 2 least-fave years ('87 being the other), this is especially disappointing. But today's set is all about quake clips anyway -- and we've gotten the beyond-obvious "Everything's Broken" segue out-of-the-way early.  BOS Mr Henley "End of the Innocence" -- I've said this many times, but even if he'd never been an Eagle, this song and "Boys of Summer" would earn him legend status.

I'm still reliving Ginger's set, this one is barely registering.  But VHM to TFF & DH anyway.

I almost agree, except he didn't write "Boys.."

Didn't he write it with Bruce Hornsby?

so... he wrote the music and Campbell wrote the lyrics? per Wiki, Henley saw Joe Walsh driving a Cadillac (with a Deadhead sticker) on Sunset Blvd, which inspired that line.

Yes for "End of the Innocence", but not the other.

Was that the song that followed Henley? I really enjoyed it, and I'm pretty sure I'd never heard it before anywhere.

This Stones song resonates with me in the framework of Loma Prieta, as the Stones played Oakland Stadium a couple weeks after the quake, which was my first trip into the bay area post-quake. I'd had tickets to a David Byrne show at the Warfield a couple of days after the quake that was cancelled, but I talked to a couple of people last week who swore they saw the Waterboys there right after Oct 17 as well, so some things were still going on in the city.
