Looks like this set is another from the pre-Shraytabase era. I don't find any occurrance of Fields of Fire in the TOTHK position.

And hearing this particular ZZTop tune is leaving me a little nonplussed.
"Legs" is the worst ZZTop hit.  I don't like it.

And I could never get into Joe Jackson's ode to...errr...well...never mind.

LOL! on the JJ inference.
and I agree on the ZZTop, not my fave.



And speaking of not-faves: Leave It. Not quite as bad as the Groaner of a Lonely Heart, but close. Nice Reagan-Mondale clip between sets though.

Ooooh!  Big BOS #2 for the Thompson Twins before I run.

OK, this is a bit of an improvement: VHM Thompson Twins, Doctor Doctor. (Proxy of Geoff, too.)

I like the smattering of pop gems on 90125 (or what that Yes zip code is).  

I say Leave It (Alone)!

Finally a song I can get behind: Morris Day and the Time's "Jungle Love".  Would rather hear The Bird, but you can't have everything.  I wondered if the Time was created for Purple Rain, so I checked.  Turns out they were a real band long before the movie.  So there you go.

OMFG! BOS3 The Time, "Jungle Love", a nice alternative to the obligatory Prince Purple Rain selection.

Continuing to get betta: BOS2 The Time Jungle Love.

(And this one seems to be a bustout, although I'd swear we heard it recently.)

Not quite a BOS, but nice to near nonetheless: Roger Waters looking for the Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. OK song, but the chorus just seems out of place with the rest of it.

BOS3, U2 A Sort of Homecoming?

"did you understand the music, Yoko? Or was it all in vain?"

As I've said before, this is a total Narada to me; I'd never heard it until Dave played it. I'm guessing prog radio in NY avoided it for fear of offending you-know-who with the above lyric.

Renee was going on about "It's My Life" the other day -- she loves it so much she even liked the No Doubt cover version.
