BOS Eric Johnson (this is him, isn''t it?), tho' this is a frequent-flyer too. 

Yep, Cliffs of Dover I think. Which means Gary Moore probably ain't happening this set. Unless Dave wants to go over his guitar-whiz quota.

Oops, you may be right.  Hard to tell instrumentals apart some times.

I remember when that came out.  I was very impressed with the lyrical quality of EJ's playing.  I found it much more attractive than Joe Satriani's playing, with whom he's inevitably compared.

I think so, but I haven't seen it either. But boy, does she seem nuts.

Pretty good variety from the Traveling Wilburys.  Is this from the second album?

Like Mike says.  Really a great piece of work -- and the clip alone gives me the willies.

This*is* pretty good -- BOS3, it's not one you hear a whole lot. "knocked me over like a bowling pin" indeed.

proxy of Gaz: George Michael, "Freedom" (?). But I don't have much use for this one myself.

I was stunned that it went Top 10 -- the keyboard riff seemed awfully Peanuts at the time, and even then I knew that songs about how tough it is to be a celebrity don't necessarily win style points -- but I still kinda like it.  Vastly superior, and sadly forgotten though it was a No. 1 hit, was its predecessor, "Praying for Time."  (One of very few "serious" songs I've ever performed in karaoke, and it went over quite well.)
