It occurred to me last night he might do something like this today. Excellent choice!

Indeed, I was wondering how he could top yesterday's set since he did '68 last week & I didn't think he can go any further back in time.

I'm postponing a drive up to SF to be here hearing witnessing the fine set coming our way.

technically, he's not Motown.  I suspect "H&H" will be Dave's last (pre-10@10) song tomorrow.

True dat. He's often professed an undying love for that one as the "best song ever."

ETA: His wikipedia bio says he was born in Detroit though, so it'll depend on whether Dave is limiting this set to just Motown artists, or any from Detroit.

What Are You Gonna Do When I'm Gone? Another message in the song....

Never noticed how similar that song is to "Ain't That Peculiar."

One of my very favorite intros: the chords preceding "More Love."
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
