    What Would You Pick?

    in Go All The Way

    We have a bunch of Christmas CDs, and to be honest, I only like a handful of songs. Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Bryan Adams' Run Run Rudolph, and the Ramones' Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight). One CD I love is called something like a Live Christmas Extravaganza. It was a benefit show at the Stone Pony from maybe 10 or 15 years ago, headed up by Glenn Burtnick. It's got Marshall Crenshaw, Willie Nile, Lenny Kaye, and a bunch of other people that I can't remember. That gets played a lot every year.

    Regarding Raspberries doing a holiday song, how about covering Big Star's "Jesus Christ"?

    Searchers, Beatles rocked 12 string world

    This has nothing to do with 12 string guitars, but I saw the Searchers in 1983 at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philly and it was one of the absolute best shows ever. There couldn't have been more than 75 people there and you would have thought they were playing in front of 10,000. They played two completely different hour + long sets with lots of good stories in between. And they played a lot of songs from their two outstanding Sire albums from 1980 and 1981. I just thought I'd throw that in.

    Surrender - Cheap Trick

    Glory Bound - The Grass Roots

    GATW - Raspberries

    I Need to Know - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

    I saw another post about a new 20 song power pop compilation containing Overnight Sensation. I thought I'd put together my own 20 song Power Pop CD. I tried not to pick the obvious, but in some cases there was no choice. So here you go:

    20/20 – Remember the Lightning

    Knack – Oh Tara or Can I Borrow a Kiss

    Shoes – I Don’t Wanna Hear It (Live)

    John Eddie – Please Jodi

    Tommy Keene – High Wire Days

    Posies – Dream All Day

    Gin Blossoms – Follow You Down

    Bram Tchaikovsky – Girl of my Dreams

    Smithereens – Behind a Wall of Sleep

    Smash Palace – Sooner or Later

    Pezband – Love Goes Underground

    All By Myself

    in Go All The Way

    It was great to hear "All By Myself" at the show Saturday night. I'm curious about the dynamic behind the decision to add solo material to the show. Is there any consideration of any additional solo material being added to the setlist - either Wally's, Dave's or yours? (I guess "It's Cold Outside" could be considered a solo song as well). Thanks.

    Oh, more importantly, I would really hate to see this series go back to Boston. Let's hope they end before midnight.

    Venues where YOU have attended a concert?

    I prefer a small club to any of the bigger places. I thought the HOB in Cleveland was great. It had great sound, and plenty of room for standing in front of the stage. I really didn't like the tables in front of the stage at BB Kings. What a waste of space.

    Favorites:

    TLA - Philly (old theater with no seats)

    Troc - Philly (old burlesque house - Marshall Crenshaw called it "a swell dump."

    The Art Museum - DC (it was a great place)

    9:30 Club - DC (just feels like rock n roll)

    Big Mans - Red Bank (I know it closed years ago, but it was a great place to see a show)

    and finally... The Empire Rock Room in N.E. Philly. Another sweaty rock and roll bar.
