3 Aug 2011: it's... 1978!
« on: August 02, 2011, 08:21:54 PM »
wow, could we have 2 great sets in a row?

Someone actually asked for "Mr Blue Sky". I shit you not. And "Dreadlock Holiday" too. 

ETA: AL put the kibosh on the ELO request.

EC with a "Radio"-centric TOTHK. Let's hope AL listens to the voice of reason.

I love the sound of Nicky Lowe.

"Ebony Eyes" is a bit of a 'trina at this point.

Ah, for the days when Bruce Jenner wasn't a scary elderly woman.

VHM "Magnet & Steel". Poor Walter Egan: he had an unrequited crush on Stevie Nicks and all he got was a hit single.

BoS Devo! I think this should be the definitive version of "Satisfaction".

I'm liking this 78 set. While it's ok to have change, we still need 60's and 70's for some spice.

Is there some law that says Tom Petty has to be played in every set? Also, agree with everyone re: INXS omnipresence -- unnecessary.

Still, this TP is decent. The 80's stuff is just annoying. "Take back your... Trina".

Stayin' Alive -- the song that inspired the only amusing Jimmy Fallon SNL sketch.

Although his Neil Young cover of "Whip your hair" shows he's got at least one other funny bone in his body.

yes, one of the best covers ever.

I'm liking this set.  It's as if it was a magnet and I'm like a piece of metal or something.

I thought Fallon was hilarious on the Emmys last year -- sadly he's not hosting this year. The orig SNL parody of Sat Nite Fever was genius -- "it's great to be young and stoopid and living in Brooklyn!"
