listening on the replay. While I'll never understand the hate for "Lay Lady Lay", either as a song or as a Dylan vocal, I've gotta say it's been way overexposed of late.  "Marrakesh Express" always sounds gloriously sweet to my ears. And yes, BOS to the extraordinary "Games People Play", which is sadly as relevant today as it was 41 years ago.

Nothing could top AL's fab set yesterday, but Santana's "Open Invitation" is an ATBB, methinks, and maybe the VH too. Too bad about "Thunder Island". What, no "Dreadlock Holiday", Bob?  ;)

Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island  
George Thorogood - Who Do You Love  
R.E.O. Speedwagon - Roll With the Changes  
Santana - Open Invitation  
Bob Seger - We've Got Tonight  
Exile - Kiss You All Over  
Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love  
Bruce Springsteen - Badlands  
Foreigner - Blue Morning, Blue Day  
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
