18 Sept 2012: Dave Morey in... 1990

[RGMike]

Dunno if they're bothering to produce daily promos for these Morey classics.

ETA: sorry, I love dave but I've no desire to hear a 1990 set.

World Party leads off folllowed by the Oils. Feh.

[Here'sToYa!]

1990

I recall sets from late 80's and early 90's from Dave being kind of samey and not featuring a wide variety of genres. Did he also admit he didn't particularly care for this era of music?

yeah, dave's '90s sets were not the best -- lot's of katrinas and we used to joke that whenever he had a day off they'd play a '90s "classic" because it saved him the indignity of having to do one.

[Big Fingers McGee]

I'd say that for 1986 through about 1994, AL>>>DM. DM>>AL for the 60's and 70's and both didn't seem to care much for 1995 and on (save for perhaps the Foos).

[Here'sToYa!]

Did Dave ever go beyond 1994?

Did Dave ever go beyond 1994?

I believe the latest from Dave was 1997.

[RGMike]

Did Dave ever go beyond 1994?

as I recall Dave did some '95, '96 and '97 sets. But his last few years there was not the emphasis on doing a '90s set each week that AL had imposed on her by DC -- Dave would do '90s every other week, and '95-'97 were pretty infrequent.

[RGMike]

I *think* this is the setlist -- aired in April 2009 as a classic (after Dave left but before AL took over in June). Not sure when it originally aired.

The Jellyfish song was the only one even faintly interesting in this set. Of course, I loves me some Jellyfish, and I didn't even recognize that one.

[Davefish]

Dang, Dave has got a good voice.

Yeah, I don't mean to irritate.  I just thought we always posted the official repost, and I find it somewhat interesting that they are so asleep at the wheel.
