checking this out on the replay. DUUUUDE! PRIIIIIEEEST!  "Green Manalishi" -- Rob Halford knows his way around multi-pronged things, I'll wager. Not terrible, actually.

I've heard the JCM waaay too many times, but VHM DLR.

WOS1 Heart's "MLs&MHs" Why? Why? Why?  Oh yeah -- her husband directed Almost Famous.

VHM Neil's take on "Imagine", and kudos Bob for playing one of manfred Mann's *other* Broooce covers.

Well, ya don't hear Frampton's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" cover very often -- VHMFRA for a Comes Alive track that's an ATBB. And really really long.

WOS2, naturally, to Rush covering Eddie Cochran by way of Blue Cheer and the Who. Jeezus effin' kee-ryst!

The Heart and the Rush were so depressing I can't bring myself to WOS Shatner, esp the day after his birthday.  SUDDENLY! SOMEONE! IS THERE! BY THE TURNSTILE!

BOS the Prunes; BOS2 the 'oo. VHM poor closeted Lou Christie -- he knows all about "the makin's of a man", alright.

serious ATBB: the Shadows of Knight (misspelled on the Drive website), "Oh Yeah".
