6 May 2008--it's 1989

[urth]

The obligatory '89 earthquake clips preceding and following SRV's The House is Rockin', but I don't recognize the song that followed the second one; kind of a by-the-book blues called Let's Rock This Place.

Flabulous Thunderbirds.  Indeed a garden variety blues, but not one of their two biggest hits, so there's that.  WOS for Mick and the boys getting all sensitive.

Almost Hear You Cry is a bustout in 89, but it's appeared twice in 90, so maybe not so much of a bustout after all.

This song reminds me of the Stones concerts at Oakland Stadium a couple weeks after the earthquake. It was my first venture back into the bay area post quake, and you could tell things were still pretty messed up.

I'll save the WOS for unnecessary Clapton, the Stones tune was pretty much the only thing after Tattoo You that I liked by them.

I'm forced to yawn broadly at Mr. Clapton.

[urth]

This is far from the worst 89 set I've heard, but the Clapton tune is not enhancing that at all. Nor is the Call song (Let the Day Begin) that's following it.

[Davefish]

Ugh, WOS2 for the Call.  Crummy set from big yawning to end.

reading the posts I feel like I missed a "classic" that's been rerun more than once. Granted, this month's '89 bustout happened in the Comic Book Set with "Batdance", but sheesh.

Might as well have been a classic...I agree with Mike.

I'd already forgotten about the McMurtry song.  That was the highlight for me, even though it wasn't a very good song.

Well, this is a first--the bonus track is a song that was already played in the set--the Adrian Belew tune. Annalisa sure pulled a boner this time.

proof that all 1989 sets truly blend together!

And also shows that the Foghead probably wasn't listening to the set--or at least wasn't paying attention.

...plus the intern continues to think that the word 'is' is a preposition (twice) and also can't spell Texaco.

90% of the population gets this wrong.  I winced every time I saw the titles for The Bronx Is Burning.
