Wed 12/8/10: all about John

unlike AL, the Drive is into "death sets" 

All you need is loove, loove.

John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over 
Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever 
John Lennon - Mind Games 
Beatles - I Am the Walrus 
John Lennon - Instant Karma 
Beatles - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away 
Beatles - Revolution 
John Lennon - Watching the Wheels 
Beatles - All You Need is Love 
John Lennon - Imagine 

[Gazoo]

Glad for the idea, but a really predictable set.

Thur 12/9/10: 1969!

Mick 'n' da boyz, lettin' it bleed -- all OVAH! BOS1

all ovah BB King, apparently -- no wonder his thrill is gone.

BOS2 CCR, "Fortunate"ly.

Mr Cummings & Co have no time for the killing floor. VHM, and you need not wonder why.

Bob's substitute places S&G's Bridge... LP in '69 (incorrect) but plays their 45 "The Boxer" (correct).

VHM the J-5. But it's getting to the point where "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is no fun anymore. Zombies coin the phrase "Who's Your Daddy?" Or, if you're from Indiana, "Hoosier daddy".

BOS3 the Mighty Zep, "WI&WSNB"

Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed 
BB King - The Thrill is Gone 
CCR - Fortunate Son 
Guess Who - No Time 
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer 
The Who - I'm Free 
Jackson 5 - I Want You Back 
CSN - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes 
Zombies - Time of the Season 
Led Zeppelin - What Is and What Should Never Be

Fri 12/10/10: 1978

if Jay Ferguson shows up I'm going postal.

Styx to start, Petty follows and BOS1 Al Stewart. "It was late in December, the sky turned to snow" -- appropriate for Chicago, I'm guessing. But if yer "Hot-Blooded" the snow shouldn't be a problem...

BOS2 Broooce, still racin' out at the trestle. From racing to the (inevitable) Cars, heh heh.

BOS3 "Forever Autumn", sounding especially full-of-portent today. Darker days are drawing near, indeed.

VHM VH; WOS Blooz Bruddahs; final destination: Lee Ho Fook's.



Styx - Renegade 
Tom Petty - Listen To Her Heart 
Al Stewart - Time Passages 
Foreigner - Hot Blooded 
Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town 
Cars - You're All I've Got Tonight 
Justin Hayward - Forever Autumn 
Van Halen - Running With the Devil 
Blues Brothers - Soul Man 
Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London
