11 November 2011: Nigel Tufnel Day!

[ggould]

got home just in time for Van Halen

meh!

[Lightnin' Rod]

One of VH's most annoying tunes.  This one goes to off!  Just can't stand the vocal performance here.

So one could assume that both Jamie and Rod are crying?

I diggit (the song, that is.. not the tears).

[ggould]

Whole lotta BOS, LZ.

ETA:  Yikes!  I must be a little groggy this morning after last night's tremendous Raider victory!  Mis-identifying Led Zeppelin!  (it was Heartbreaker, and now into Living Loving Maid).

I had requested Mickey and Sylvia's "Love is Strange" because I used to turn up the volume all the way during the tinny guitar solo.  That also works for the guitar break in Heartbreaker!  Cranked it up in the car today!

X BOS!  Breathless....ahhhh!

X BOS!  Breathless....ahhhh!

Yes!!

[urth]

By my count the VH is at least tune #9, so this set isn't going to run any longer than a normal set, even with the added tune.

BOS3 X, Breathless-ah!

[ggould]

Spinal Tap!

[Tinka Cat]

X BOS!  Breathless....ahhhh!

Yes!!

Yes would have been good for this.  Yours Is No Disgrace for instance

[ggould]

I tell ya guys, I have a bad feeling about today's set.  It has DC all over it, like he wants to associate himself personally with the franchise.  No good can come of this.

I thought there were a couple of songs that were obvious AL picks (like the Iggy and Runaways tunes, and maybe X) but yeah, I can hear what you're saying.

Oh, and the song directly following the set? Midnight Oil. I rest my case.

X BOS!  Breathless....ahhhh!

Definitely. Thank you.

I think the nature of the set idea put the playlist into a corner of sorts.  

1. the songs need loud guitars/drums/keyboards (see my Rick Wakeman/Moog post)
2. the vocalists are at the top of their volume - lots of diaphragms got a workout in this one
2. the songs have to be pretty widely known.  Any song can be turned to "11" but the ones the audience wants to turn to 11 are the ones they're comfy with.  "Oh, I love this song!  Turn it up!"

I didn't need to hear DC's imitation of Nigel Tufnel!

I heard some guy doing voices, but I didn't know it was him.  Did AL say it was him?
