1970 on a Wednesday, hmmm...
there's no rhyme or reason while Dave's away.

are you guys raising eyebrows here because it's usually Fridays that are reserved for 60s or very early 70s sets?

Does Dave stick to a map of sorts?  Does this 1970 here increase the chances of some lame-ass 80s and 90s sets happening tomorrow and Friday?


Friday is, traditionally, the day for "old" years, usually '60s  -- this dates back to the beginnings of 10@10 when they used to do "Fifties Friday". I always suspected it was an excuse for Dave to go home early, since the songs were so short, but clearly Dave likes to end his weeks with sets he really enjoys doing.  Friday also became a day for theme sets like instrumentals.

ETA: I also always assumed Dave had a calendar of some sort of tracking board to make sure that years came up more or less evenly... but Greg told mshray that Dave goes totally on memory and instinct, iirc.

Always wondered how Dave kept track of how long it had been since a year was last visited. A calendar maybe?

I've asked him that question twice in person, and both times he said, "No, not really."

This set is getting better and better

And up yet another notch: BOS5, Fleetwood Mac, Oh Well.

Hoping for the lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng version. Also that Geoff is still hanging around.

cue the ghost of Ennio Morricone!  (ETA: oops, he's still alive. Me dispiace.)

It's the bong version!

...the bong version...I love it!

So is it worth going to see Fleetwood Mac without Christine McVie?

I'd rather see 'em with Christine and without the Goat.

Well, that depends on how much you like Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham songs.

This really is evolving into a pretty amazing set. One more BOS for 'Retha.

ETA: And the hits just keep on coming: Smokey and his best song ever, Tears of a Clown. Cue the bassoon!

(And the BOS-soon.)

I would say no b/c I couldn't sit through much of crocheted-cape-on-a-goat Stevie without feeling like she was casting a bad spell on me.  Lindsay is great (I saw him last summer at Mtn winery -- same show for which Ali won tix), but no Christie?  Oh, Daddy!

worth it?  It's hard to say, considering how expensive tickets are these days.  Barring financial concerns, I expect nothing less than a kick-ass, professional show, with lots of Greatest Hits, of which there are too many.  Hopefully they will include pre Buckingham/Nicks FM tunes.
