Dave, do you recall when we were at the Bruce concert & when the 1st notes of "She's The One" came on I leaned over and said that this was my favorite song with the Bo Diddley beat and wouldn't it be cool if KFOG did a whole set of them?
Fraid I don't; apparently, I don't even remember where I heard it.  Oh well, brain not what it used to be, if it ever was.

At the Oakland Arena, the first show.  Rich & his budddy were down on the floor.

Sorry to have missed "The Magic Bus", but who knew "American Woman" & "Rosanna" had the beat?

ETA: I guess I didn't miss them, so much as Dave didn't play them.  Don't want to confuse anyone who reads this post but missed the set.

So, a quick Db analysis.  Bo Diddley makes his artist debut in the Db.  The BowWowWow & the George T. tunes get only their 2nd spins, and surprisingly the Bruce was only the 3rd appearance.  Closest thing to a Katrina is (equally surprisingly, imho) "Faith".

ETA: missed it the first time around, but the Stones & Clapton were also a bustouts, and the U2 was also only the 2nd time around. 

So any time you get 3 bustouts and 3 only-once-befores, you have to conclude that this was a GREAT set.

BOS2 "Panic in DEE-troit", tho' I think its inclusion is a tad questionable -- a little too slow to be truly Diddleyish, IMHO.
Yeah, might as well include "Spiders & Snakes" if you're going this route.  Still and all, well played.
