The occasional Sound 10@10 thread
« on: July 16, 2012, 11:45:14 AM »
I'm no longer posting their twice-a-day setlists, but this thread is for the occasional interesting set that they may do. Last Thurs nite they did a "mystery theme" set -- damned if I can figure out the connection:


7/12 - Mystery

Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Back on the Chain Gang - Pretenders
And We Danced - Hooters
Livin After Midnight - Judas Priest
Rocket Man - Elton John
Refugee - Tom Petty
Helpless - Neil Young
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
Heroes - David Bowie
Message in a Bottle - Sting

Is there an answer to this? I'm probably thinking way too hard, but the best I can do is this somehow describes one's "coming of age".

I think I know the answer now. Bear in mind that the Bryan Adams and Hooters songs were very close in release dates.

Thank jeebus, because my other answer would have been "Ten songs that suck?"

Actually, it seems to be one of the deeper things the Sound as done. I suppose in 2017 AL could do a ten year anniversary of Earth Aid (what was the event that happened on 7/7/07 called?).

Their "year" sets tend to be on a par with the Drive's (pretty pedestrian; same database of songs, it would appear) but occasionally they do a theme set that is praiseworthy (see: the Tony Awards set they did in June)
