3 Oct 2012: it's... 1978
« on: October 03, 2012, 09:31:46 AM »
didn't see any "inside info" on FB. I'm predicting '70s, with '90s tomorrow and '80s again Friday. I have a feeling "theme sets" will be at a premium for a while.

well, it seems the sets have been starting closer to 10:00 than they had been recently.

'78 starts with WOS1: Disco Dead. "Shakedown Street"

Sgt Pepper: one of the worst movies ever.  EWF: the most-played song from that sndtk.

Funny news item about Keef, especially the part about having to do a concert for the blind. I guess that's a good idea since they wouldn't be frightened by his alarming countenance.

Suspect that is our token rarity for the day. Still, it shows *someone* is making an effort.

I too noted that they've returned to the convention of selecting years for the week's sets based on the numeral that they end with. This was common when AL was more directly under DC's thumb, but let up in recent months. Now that AL is gone and DC is calling the shots (we assume) that custom has been reinstituted.

The Peak, which did a STELLAR 1978 set today, also played "DH" -- my only carp about that set. And The Drive plays it in every third '78 set they do for some reason (when they're not playing "Thunder Island").

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?

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.
