The Drive, week of 4/4/11

[RGMike]

Mon 4/4/11: 1986

Yikes -- what a way to start the week. Expect Collins, Gabriel, VH and Graceland.

... and Journey: "Girl Can't Help it". Would that it were the Little Richard tune of the same name.  PG looks into your eyes; Greg Allman wants to show you his tattoo; and Winwood has a semen overspill. Er, eww.

Bon Jersey, workin' on the docks -- it's the rest of us who may go on strike.

VH get a VHM just because "Best of Both Worlds" is relatively underplayed. Rare, even.

WOS Moodies, past their sell-by date. In your dreams, indeed.

WOS2 Boston, past their "nobody cares if you ever make another LP" date.

WOS3 Mr Collins.  BOS Sigourney Weaver, kickin' Aliens butt.

VHM "Graceland" -- I'd've preferred "Boy in the Bubble" but beggars can't be choosers.

Journey - Girl Can't Help It 
Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes 
Gregg Allman - I'm No Angel 
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer 
Steve Winwood - Freedom Overspill 
Van Halen - Best of Both Worlds   
Moody Blues - Your Wildest Dreams 
Boston - We're Ready 
Phil Collins - Take Me Home 
Paul Simon - Graceland

Wed 4/6/11: 1979

here come the 'trinas... 1, 2, 3...

aaack: WOS1 Triumph, eh?  WOS2 Janeyjaneyjaneyjaneyjane.

"Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and-a house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know
What I'm talking about..."

Actually, Mickey, I don't have a f---ing CLUE what you're on about.

I feel like I never need to hear anything from The Wall ever again.

BOS Off-Broadway, "Stay in Time", one I only ever hear on the Drive.

"I want you... to hear... a Katrina!"

There are actually songs on The Long Run I'd like to hear. "Heartache Tonight" ain't one of 'em.

BOS2 "Tusk", still an astoundingly ballsy choice for a single.

Rox-trina, please turn out the red light and go to sleep already.

Proxy of GazWOS: AC/DC, tho' "Girl's Got Rhythm" is a rarity and maybe even a bustout.

BadCo - Rock & Roll Fantasy 
Triumph - Hold On 
Jefferson Starship - Jane 
Pink Floyd - Hey You 
Off Broadway - Stay in Time 
Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me 
Eagles - Heartache Tonight 
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk 
The Police - Roxanne 
AC/DC - Girl's Got Rhythm

Are they playing the entire albums?

Nope. In some cases they seem to be playing sides (Rumours, for one example, presumably because everybody knows every song on it); for others they're playing 3 or 4 tracks.
