Hmmm.. not as bad as I thought it would be, but the Cars kind of made the set sag in the middle.

is the debate over at 7? if so we need to get CC to crank up the Peak's '78 set on the replay.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I was interrupted during "Rock Lobster" -- kudos on the Chris Rea. Was it the orig version or one of those remakes he did over the years?

Listening to the replay -- was also curious about the B-52s tune -- the indie single came out in '78; the (longer and different) LP version on Warner Bros came a year later. This appears to be the '79 version. ooops.

But wow, she played the orig version of the Chris Rea song -- impressive!

Grateful Dead - "Shakedown Street"
Earth Wind and Fire - "Got to Get You Into My Life"
B-52's - "Rock Lobster"
Rolling Stones - "Shattered"
Peter Tosh (wtih Mick Jagger) - "(You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back" 
Cars - "Just What I Needed" 
Chris Rea - "Fool (If You Think It's Over) 
10 cc - "Dreadlock Holiday" 
ABBA - "Take A Chance on Me" 
Who - "Who Are You?"

I was interrupted during the B-52s and had to do actual WORK at work (how dare they?) but that looks like a decent set on paper.

Good/Necessary:
1 B/B
2 B+/C
3 A-/D-
4 B/D
5 B/B
6 D/F
7 B+/A-
8 B/B
9 B/B
10 C/C

Hmmm.. not as bad as I thought it would be, but the Cars kind of made the set sag in the middle.

Ooh...thanks for bringing back Good/Necessary!  ;D

My ratings:
1 D/C
2 B/B+
3 B/F (Would be a D, but playing the wrong version in the wrong year bumps it down a grade.)
4 A-/C- (Maybe a little more LN than I give it credit for, but it did sound pretty good on 10@10.)
5 F/C
6 B/F
7 B-/A (DC LOVES Chris Rea.  I'm sure this was his doing...and probably most of the others.)
8 F/F
9 B/B
10 D/C

If DC loves Rea, maybe we'll finally hear "On The Beach" for a 1989 set. Which would obviously be good.
