Queen are in a belladonnic haze.  Will have to catch the replay tonite.

Dead "Eyes of the World". And we close, beautifully, with "Time in a Bottle"

ETA: "Band on the Run", a fairly obvious starter. But Greg Allman's cover of "These Days"  gets a VHM. And here's an uber-rarity from Dave Mason, "The Lonely One"

Serpico trailer.

Rick Derringer does the hootchie-koo.

Sleeper trailer.

EJ, "GYBR". "I'm not a present for your friends to open" -- quite possibly the gayest line ever in a song that got to #2.

Billy Preston enters the Space Race. Rob wonders if it was the inspiration for Mike Post when he wrote "Rockford Files". Heh.

Holee crap: The Band's cover of "I Ain't Got No Home"  -- uber-BOSFRA.

Big Bore Todd and the Snoozesters "Bittersweet".  I think I'll pass on this one.

But credit where credit is due: a Blind Melon rarity "Tones of Home" is at least... not "No Rain".

'twas the set before Xmas and I missed it: Fleshtones, Clash, Police, Foreigner, and (of course) "Christmas Wrapping"
