VHM "Purple Rain" -- preferable to "When Doves Cry" or "Let's Go Crazy" at this point

WTF is up with the early fade-out??

(ETA: RR apologized for playing the "radio edit")

BOS UB40, "If It Happens Again" -- closest to a rarity we'll get, probably.

Holy crap: Stevie's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" -- a HFH for many, but It's certainly a rarity here.

(ETA: indeed, just one appearance in the Morey era -- in a HFH set)

WTF is this computer-synth coda?  Does RR ever preview tracks before she plays them? Sheesh.

Brooooooooooooce! "he's bigger than the Jacksons". LOL!

But "Dancing in the Dark" is LN4 nonetheless.

More of a hit-laden set than yesterday (only UB40's effort did not hit the Top 40).

Good/necessary:

1. A/B
2. B/B
3. C/B
4. F/B
5. A/C
6. A-/B
7. B/B
8. B+/B
9. B/C
10. B/C

No real "haaaay" moments, but not too shabby either.
