Dave's got it pretty much set, tho' he's accepting last-minute suggestions.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I'm guessing that, like the Tax Day and Halloween sets, it'll be about 80% songs we've heard before, and a couple new ones.
Let's get right to it.

instant BOS 3DN, The one I needed to hear, and one of Paul Williams' finest moments.

Instant BOS to 3DN, out where the rivers like to run.  Special kudos to songwriter Paul Williams!

This John Farnham is something of a Morey fave in 1990 sets, tho' this is only its 2nd Earth Day appearance.

No need to reiterate, but yeah, that 3DN song is a fave of mine too. It's resonating with me particularly strongly this year.

OK, someone fill in the blank on this Sit In Silence tune--I know we've heard it before (Pride sets perhaps?) but it's a first timer for Earth Day.

(Surprised that we have only three ED sets to refer to in the shraytabase: '02, '05 and '07--unless there's a couple under different names.)

It sounds like Mickey Thomas of the Starship (reminds me of his backing vox on Heart's "What About Love?").

BOS Cat man. Lovely.

Our first 2-timer; it won't be the same without a Harold & Maude clip.

ETA: same clip!  Ginger really did beat Dave to the punch.

and Joni 2-times us too!
