I don't know what the deal is with that, but that has been a thing for the past few years that I've noticed and it seems to be with shows like What's Happening, The Jefferson's and other 70's shows. Not sure if the intent is to make it less desirable to download because you get that odd frame job and more incentive to buy the DVD Sets instead.

How old were you when you watched this?

I remember it so well. I was torn. So glad to see the Doob's make a television appearance, because I wanted more people to know who and what they do, but at the same time, it was the Michael McDonald years.

Y a know, I always thought of all shows, why this combination. It just now hit me. Michaels soulful sound was surrounding the group. I still think it's a weird combo, but yet I get it.

Thanks for posting. Have not seen that for a very long time.

Good thread too. I scan The classic rock site every day.

Man, there has been a lot of death annoucements. Too many to post.

My Del Shannon story is somewhat bittersweet. I had gone to Disneyland on a lark with some friends (we always could get in for free as we had connections) and on this one particular night that we went, they had some sort of 'Oldies but Goodies' concert at Videoplolis which was a huge dance "club" for dancing. On the bill itself, the headliner was Del Shannon. Anyway, there were a few singers on the bill and it was getting late. The other guys wanted to leave and I said I'm not going anywhere until he comes out and performs. I WANT to hear Runway!! They didn't have a choice. They couldn't leave me there and were stuck.

Del came out did his set and finished it with Runaway and it was electric! There was so much energy in that venue from the band to the crowd and my friends that wanted to leave were into it and I could tell they were grateful they stayed, even if they never told me personally. Well, it was about a month (maybe 2) when I heard that he killed himself and whenever talk comes up about Del or I hear one of his songs, I always think about that night. My word to you is NEVER take for granted something that's right in front of you. Never assume that you will get another chance later. I'm glad I put my foot down that night because I even told them this might be my only time to see him and unfortunately, I was right. Just thought I'd share that story with you peeps.

That would be a great song for any list. Curious to know what your Set List contains. By that I mean what are the songs that you would hope could be included in your sets with whatever band you end up with.
