This is the first time in my long lurkdom (1997 or so) that I rememeber so much
sharing of SOTT set lists. Verdict: Larry likes it. Thanks one and all.

I've seen that, along with the Tommy Tutone twofer. As much as I like "Turning
Japanese," "News at Ten" simply shreds it.

Saw John Miles open for a Jefferson Starship/Fleetwood Mac double bill at Colt
Park in Hartford in 1976. Saw the records a year or so later. Wasn't moved to
grab them then. Seeing the words "Andrew Gold" makes me wish I had. In fact
nothing in this description puts me off.
