A very strange night for the return of Friday Night Rock for the first time in nearly a month, since the CD players were not working. That meant I didn’t play anything I had planned to do (that show exists in an unseen parallel universe). Instead, I played something on the fly from what was on my computer, which I just happened to bring.
There was something new from Iris DeMent, some alternate cuts from the deluxe version of The Rolling Stones’ “Sticky Fingers,” some unexpected things Conway Twitty and Glen Campbell, a bunch of dancer things, and ended with some rock, particularly with one very long Neil Young cut. Here’s what I played on the radio tonight:
