Which way will The Whale go tonight?  Will they play Peter Gabriel/Bryan Adams/Heart/REO Speedwagon/Boston/Yes, or go the route of Whitesnake/Ratt/Cinderella/Poison/Great White, or mix and match?

ETA: So far, mixing and matching...

ETA2: Leaning more toward the rock vets than the metal bands now -- have to give props for playing a U2 album cut rather than one of the singles from The Joshua Tree.

ETA3: Okay, they went back to metal (Whitesnake)...

ETA4: Would you listen to a 10@10 set that consisted of the following...

      1. Ratt - Dance
      2. The System - Don't Disturb This Groove
      3. Tesla - Little Suzi
      4. Jody Watley - Looking For A New Love
      5. Poison - I Won't Forget You
      6. Lionel Richie - Ballerina Girl
      7. Great White - Rock Me
      8. The Force M.D.'s - Love Is A House
      9. The Dead Milkmen - Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance To Anything)
    10. Roger - I Want To Be Your Man

ETA5: Back to the rock vets (Grateful Dead, R.E.M., Bon Jovi, Genesis)...  Surprised they didn't play more of the hair metal bands.
