Man, there are some Connected frequent flier bands/acts: Elvis C., Bruce, U2, and, most of all, one of tonight's selections, the Rolling Stones (lesser FF's include Kinks and REM).  Granted these are all brilliant acts and the tracks chosen are excellent and almost never the obvious ones, but give some other bands a chance, man.

BTW, excellent request for Tim Buckley, ggould.

As with the 10@10 sets of the last few months, there's an easily discernible pattern that applies to most (but not all) of these sets. Essentially he's obligated to play one song from a current kfog artist (David Gray, U2, etc) and the rest can be whatever Dred chooses.
Let's get right to it.

Stones again tonight, Little Red Rooster (which is also done by other artists, including the first version by Howlin' Wolf). Rockwell is the DJ tonight, so even the sub always calls on the teacher's pet.

At least it wasn't the same song... I wonder if that will ever happen.
