Early BOS to Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate."
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

I'd forgotten how high Elton's voice often went circa "Pinball Wizard."  Doubt he'll ever sing that one live again.

New to me, and rather great: Nils Lofgren, "Keith Don't Go (Ode to the Glimmer Twin)."

HM to "Young Americans," and BOS2 to onetime Dave Fave "Bad Time."

VHM, even though it's a downer, Joni and "Harry's House/Centerpiece."

Dug the restrained but lengthy ELO, which helped make this one of the longest 10@10s I've ever heard (it's 10:55 as he recaps, though he started a couple minutes late).
