fab set so far.  I loved the Spanky song, I really dig that soft cocktail singers vibe from the 60s,
like the stuff from The Free Design:

I have to say the trailer for Bullitt might be better than the movie, chase scene notwithstanding.  It's pretty slow moving overall.

everything from that era seems "slow-moving" compared to the video-game/ADD editing style that is the norm nowadays.

proxy of Geoff: Janis, takin' a piece. Or being one.

Ok, this might not be as on point as I'd first thought, but what would be the record for shortest 10@10? Longest? Has it ever gone past 11?

Shortest:  Can't name any specific sets, but we've had a number of mid-60s sets (65, 66, 67) that were pretty short--barely cracking 30 minutes, iirc.

Longest: Dave's annual Foghead Christmas Card sets usually went pretty long, around 50 minutes or so.

More than 11: This one I can cite specifically. On March 6, 2002, Dave ended a 1974 set with Genesis' Back in NYC>Hairless Heart>Counting Out Time from The Lamb as Tune No. 10, but technically stretching to 12 songs " 'cause you really can't break those up."

We've also had a couple of 9-song sets in which Dave got distracted and played one too few songs.

nope, I don't think it's that.  I'm generally not a fan of what you're describing, for the record.  I just think Bullitt didn't hold my interest like I wanted it to.  It's such a seminal movie, creat chase scene, Steve McQueen in SF, etc., it would seem to have everything, but it doesn't hit on all cylinders.

In my humble opinion, whatever that may be worth, is that Bullitt is far more exciting than 95% of what comes out nowadays, even more than 40 years later.

And, in what other movie can you see the Embarcadero Freeway?

BOS to S&G, come to look for America.  I wonder if they were glad when they found it.

Thanks urth! Although, I actually meant "Ran past 11AM". I do remember the 10/12 set from 1974.

Thanks Mike! I'll have to watch that again, it's been a long while.
