Despite the many 'unsurprising' familiar tunes, on the whole the set IS what 1979 rock radio sounded like

For better or worse, that's certainly true.

The Gary Numan is a rarity but not a bustout.

"Prime Time" was the Tubes?!  Wow - it was NTM, and I almost thought it could have been Donna Summer and Brooklyn Dreams.

the female vocalist, whom I just found out is a woman named Re Styles (born Shirley Marie MacLeod), sounds a lot like Deb Harry to me.

oh, OK -- I thought Gaz's implication was that this was a diff woman. Re Styles is the chick on "Don't Touch Me There" too, yes?

Yes, same one. She was Fee's onstage female foil--she would ride in with him on a Harley for DTMT, then tie him to the drum riser and flog him during "Mondo Bondage."   I'm sure there were other bits, but those two stick with me. I think she was involved with Prairie Prince, the band's drummer, at the time.
Let's get right to it.

I spaced on the set. Thought about it when I was driving about 11:30. Looking at the recap, Pink Floyd is all that pleases me. Rappers Delight still gets plenty of play on KISS. Ah said a hip hop a hippie hippie to the hip hip hop ya don't stop.....I'm gonna freak ya here, I'm gonna freak ya there...
