WTF? I'm listening to the replay and some of the songs are different: so far it's been Blind Faith, Stones, Santana... and now Sly's "Everyday People" followed by Zep's "Whole Lotta Love". Er...?

ETA: "Proud Mary" followed by the Chicago song (replete with the rarely-heard piano intro!) and then "Cinnamon Girl". And -- finally! -- here's Merle! Sounds like a re-recording, however, not the original hit version. And we close with Tull, "Living in the Past" in it's orig year of release. And "because the songs were so short" we get the Byrds as song #11. So we lost the Band and BS&T... assuming they really were played this morning. Odd.
