Well, it wasn't intended to be a covers show, it just turned out to be a lot of them! I don't normally bother including the album titles in the playlists, but since there are a lot of obscure and worthwhile covers in this show, I thought I'd at least make it easier for you to track them down and buy them! Yes, as much as I hate the RIAA and SoundExchange, you SHOULD be buying your music to support the artists that produce it, if not the lawyers that actually keep most of the money...
Anyway, we found a lot of good stuff this time out, tapping tributes to Warren Zevon, Bruce Springsteen, Lowell George (Little Feat in case you don't know, which would be sad), The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and The Beatles. Check 'em out:

Now there are some non-covers in the show since we didn't set out to do a covers show, or, quite frankly, prepare much... We can't help but play Swamp Cabbage because they're great and we need other people to know that. If you haven't heard the Byrds version of Rock n' Roll Star that they did at Monterey Pop, you need to. It's running about 3,000 miles an hour and seems like everyone must have collapsed at the end of it. The drummer is playing in 12/4 time or something! One might suspect he was more than just 'excited' to be there...
