BOS Diamond Dave
Is this the tune AL alluded to at opening of set??

it's certainly not a One Hit Wonder.

ah -- HERE it is!  BOS3 Baltimora!
In the era of Reagan-rock, I don't think I've even heard this.  Club favorite?  Billboard charted?  I don't remember it on KFOG.

a top 20 single and huge MTV fave. And turned into a Listerine commercial in the '90s.

It's not surprising that in my old fogey deadhead insularness I missed this, but according to the link, it didn't chart big in the US until '86, does that jive with your memory?

yeah, it charted here in October of '85 and peaked in early '86, tho' it was a UK hit in the summer of '85 and I recall our local "New Wave" station played it as an import.

Well, we've got DM in our archives!  I taped some KFOG in the '90s, so have a bit of M Dung, Rosalie, Dusty Rhodes, Bill Evans ("Hi Hello Howareya"), John Grappone, Beth Holland.

A pretty typical AL new-wave centric mid 80s set that just barely stayed within the limits of playing it safe.  Still pretty rockin', though.

BOS's: Simple Minds, Dire Straits, John Mellonhead, Level 42, The Cure, and, of course, Baltimora.
"Silent Running" would have been better than "All I Need is a Miracle."

Not awful, but not terribly good either. My opinion might have been better, but I tuned in during Mike and the Mechanicals and bailed during Level 42, thereby missing most of what might have improved things. Given what I did hear, this set just continued the wave of mediocrity that we've been hearing all week. Really hoping things turn around tomorrow. Has any clue been dropped yet?
