        Does anyone remember 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty?

        I keep thinking that Dan Lebowitz could do a solo where the trumpet/sax solo is......the band doesn't know this song. i just noticed that the Foo Fighters did a cover of Baker Street. This is a song where you know the sound of it, you just don't know the name of the artist who wrote it.


        i also enjoy the Huey Lewis 'Back in Time' tune when it is sandwiched in between Time is of the Essence. ALO has played this before and it sounds great.

          Huey Lewis and The News was my first concert....scarey, but I was thrilled. My favorite movie was Back to the Future at the time...

          ahh the memories.

            Huey Lewis and the News was the last concert Bil Graham ever saw. His helicopter crashed after leaving the show. I wonder if the finished the show with Back in Time that night...eerily ironic, no?

                "I Cant Go For That" .. I can feel for that....about a 2 minute's worth.. then segue into a crazy funky polka back breakbeat number with some bagpipes in the background... anyone feel that ?

                  Man I just can hear that cheesy keyboard part and Zach just belting it out

                  maybe with a Sexo y Drogas thrown in too...the keys at the beginning are the EXACT same

                      There are some 80s covers I've always wanted to hear.

                      Butter is currently doing a tune that I consider an anthem for our generation: I Want A New Drug. That tune really rings true and has a timeless message: There is no perfect drug - except for love. (And surfing, but that's another story)

                      I Want A New Drug is almost the exact same song as Ghostbusters. Those two would make a great medley.

                      I've also long wanted to hear a band cover My Angel Is The Centerfold by J Giles Band. It's just really campy. Though of all the J Giles Band tunes out there, ALO would probably do a rockin' version of Musta Got Lost.

                      I ain't afraid o' no ghost,

                        > I Want A New Drug is almost the exact same song as Ghostbusters.

                        Hence, Huey's lawsuit that forced them to change the Ghostbusters theme.

                        > a timeless message: There is no perfect drug - except for love

                        Love is bad, m'kay. You shouldn't fall in love. Because it's bad. M'kay.

                        > (And surfing, but that's another story)

                        Surfing's bad, m'kay. You shouldn't surf. Because it's bad. M'kay.

                        ;-)
