The Drive, week of 10/3/11

Mon 10/3/11: 1984

Oy.

OTOH, Bob's doing TWO '60s sets this week: '66 tomo'w and '69 Friday.

Guess there's zero chance that Bob will segue from VH's "Jump" to the Aztec camera cover version.

"Summer summer summer" is over over over. uh-oh, it's a 'trina.

BOS Brooooooce in his Caddy.


BOS2 Foreigner and that awesome choir.

VHM early Buongiovi.

so for years the debate was: is Chrissie saying "I'm standing in the middle of life with my PAST behind me"? or "...my PANTS behind me"?  but Top40 db has "I'm standing in the middle of life with my PAINS behind me." Seriously?? After that bizarre "Lady Marmalade" thing last week, methinks that site needs some policing.

VHM Henley, watching the basket people walk around & mumble.

Sheesh, Bob must play something from that live T.Heads LP in every other '84 set. 

VHM SRV on his B-Day.

Caledonia throws a brick at Percy -- aim low, baby, it's a big target.

Van Halen - Jump 
Cars - Magic 
Bruce Springsteen - Pink Cadillac 
Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is 
Bon Jovi - Runaway   
Pretenders - Middle of the Road 
Don Henley - Sunset Grill 
Talking Heads - Burning Down the House (Live)   
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Cold Shot 
Honeydrippers - Rockin' at Midnight

Paint it, Mick.

Tempts be not proud.

BOS6 Lightnin' Lou Christie, Lesley Gore's favorite beard.

Thur 10/6/11: 1982

one of Bob's worst years, generally. But BOS1 Seger, "Roll Me Away", which is kinda like "Hungry Heart" without the sugar.

Oy! ve gonna schlep down to Electric Avenoo. Never pay retail, bubbeleh.

TP gets lucky. Shame about the rest of us.

WOS1 Survivor's "American Heartbeat".

VHM "I.G.Y." Where's my spandex jacket, dammit?

VHM JCM, "HSG".

http://nooooooooooooooo.com/: Rush, "New World Man". WOS2.

BOS2 Ms Benatar in the shadows, VHM the forgotten DL Byron, who wrote it. (Rachel Sweet did it first, iirc). Arista Records had told Byron the song "isn't commercial enough" and he left the label.

aaack: .38 not-very-Special

Best overplayed "classic" of set: "More Than This". That sexy voice!


Bob Seger    Roll Me Away  20.2%
Eddy Grant   Electric Avenue 10.4%
Tom Petty  You Got Lucky  8.5%
Survivor   American Heartbeat  1.6%
Donald Fagen   I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)  12.1%
John Mellencamp   Hurts So Good  6.8%
Rush   New World Man  7.2%
Pat Benatar   Shadows of the Night  8.1%

Bob starts with LedZep's famous 2-fer.

BOS1 "Hair"

WOS 3DN's unnecessary Otis cover. "same old funky dress"?

Twiddly-dee and twiddly-dum, the lead singer of Rare Earth is about to come. And Jim Morrison wants you to touch him.

CSN head for Marrakesh; I'm headed to the dentist. But not before BOS2-ing the Byrds' orig (and superior) "Jesus is Just Alright".


Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker/Livin' Lovin Maid
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising
The Cowsills - Hair
Chicago - I'm a Man
Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl
