Fri 1/9/15: Jan 1971!

so of course the Peak's new website bells-and-whistles means the player won't open and the "just played" feature is incompatible with my ancient work PC.  Their FB page indicates Derek/Dominoes, CCR, Dave Edmunds and the Kinks will appear.

ETA: listened on the replay. Wow -- the Kinks and Dominoes tunes are both unexpected rarities; "Strangers" and "Tell the Truth". uber-BOSes there.

More BOSes: EJ "Take Me to the Pilot"; George "Isn't it a Pity?"; Zep "Since I've Been Lovin' You"; Emmit Rhodes "Lullabye/Fresh as a Daisy"

VHMs CCR "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"; NGDB "Mr Bojangles". Closest to an LN: Dave Edmunds "I Hear You Knockin" and Stills' "Love the One You're With"
