My first time at home and online during the show. Be gentle with me, folks - I'm a virgin at this!  ;)

Instant BOS, and I'm surprised & delighted -- I was expecting '90s from Dave (Morey) today.

I'd bet on all of those except Ronstadt -- she gets little love from Dave (in relation to chart success, at least) and anything from Linda would be a rarity and maybe even a bustout.

BOS1 - Johnny!

My Zevon memory from this album:  I lived in LA when it came out, and KMET and KLOS were playing Werewolves like there was no tomorrow, and the novelty of the song created a bit of a personal backlash for me. At the same time, my normal listening station KPOL (later KZLA, later Country (good Gawd!)) was playing this fantastic song Tenderness on the Block, but always playing it in the middle of a set and nevfer saying who did the damned thing! It tormented me for weeks until I finally called the station and asked. Imagine my surprise.... He has become one of my favorite artists.

But I'm not gonna let it bother me...

I'd love to hear some Cheap Trick, and Steely Dan is always a good bet. And along with Boston, let's not forget that Foreigner and Kansas were all over the charts as well.

1978=some ELO from Dave, maybe Bruce, Seger, Petty, some disco too.  Hey, he doesn't play VH often, right?

Lengthy Moscone/Milk murder clips, into Journey's Lights--another pointed segue.

actually, VH get a fair share of play. But Flash & the pan are waaaay frequent fliers with this one.

This Flash & the Pan is nearing Katrina status (I'm sure some would say it's already there) but compared to the bombast of VH or Journey I'm not minding it at all.

Hey! Hey! Hey, St. Peter!
