Yup. Rob uses the "what was on the radio this month in 19__" meme; if any other song from that LP got airplay in NY it's news to me.

OMFG: AL didn't play Eddie & the Hotrods --but Rob does.  BOS "Do Anythung You Wanna Do".

Rob started with Yes' "Going For the One", Marley and CSN.

we hear about Elvis' BirthDeathday, and our eyes are a-mist with the smoke of a dist.  Steve Miller rips off Joe Walsh.

BOS2 Ramones, "I Don't Care".

I wouldn't wanna be like Alan Parsons. But I'd love his bank account.

OK, I realize Rob's sets are date-specific but I coulda done without "Give a Little Bit".

OMGWTFLOL: Johnny "Guitar" Watson, "A Real Mutha Fo' Ya"!!  uber-BOS3.
