This show began with tunes set in the Great White North by Carolyn Mark & NQ Arbuckle and Gordon Lightfoot, which were followed by one located just south of the Canadian border from Rosanne Cash covering an early Bob Dylan tune (one that her dad shared a duet with Dylan on for Nashville Skyline). Then we heard Neil Young with a couple of tunes from Harvest combined into one from a tour he did prior to that album's being recorded. The eternal search for romance described in those songs flowed nicely into the Giant Sand tune that followed, and from there it was a sideways step to Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood with one of their classic duets into an instrumental from the Postmarks that brought this set to a low-key, swaggering close.

A change of pace kicked off with one of Brian Eno's signature flowing tunes leading to a Yo La Tengo track with similar atmospherics but a slower tempo. The rhythmic pace picked up again with Rachel Sweet seguing quite smoothly into Jenifer Jackson, which introduced a solar system theme that lasted through Federico Aubele, Exene Cervenka and Wreckless Eric. The synthesizer bit at the end of that one conjured up the beginning of 13-year-old Angie's 1978 single, which was followed by a new one from Boat that contains a similar child-like innocence.

A prime chunk of early '70s glam from T. Rex opened this set, and it was followed by a couple of tunes that remember those days—one from Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3 off of their 2009 disc and the other by David Bowie through a song set in the future that looks back to the time it was released. From there we returned to the present with a tune from Girls that has a certain '50s feel, which brought on the King of France and Rilo Kiley using similar building blocks. The Jarvis Cocker track that followed seems to have a bit of that as well, and it's title played nicely off the Rilo Kiley song that preceded it. From Cocker's "profoundly shallow" we moved to the profoundly silly/smart Bonzo Dog Band doing their best Elvis Presley interpretation, which is how we finished up with the King.

Bob Dylan once denied in an interview that he'd ever met Elvis, but he did write a song that seemed to be about an encounter he once had with him; considering it's Dylan, who has been building his personal mythology since he first arrived in New York as teenager, who's to really know. After hearing Bob sing of this supposed meeting, we moved on to John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox from the very enjoyable film of a few years back. Dewey is in his Dylan phase and singing a funny song that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever; it was written by Dan Bern, who apparently was given a free pass to indulge his Dylanistic proclivities to their maximum extent. From there we heard Mouse and the Traps, a Texas group from the '60s who had a regional hit with a tune that had many folks thinking they were hearing a new Dylan song when they first encountered it. An early one from the Modern Lovers brought on a new track from Spiral Stairs, aka Scott Kannberg of Pavement, and that one reminded me of some early Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. The title of that one clicked into the Black Keys tune that followed, and that led to the remastered Beatles to bring down the curtain.

Here's another one from Nancy Sinatra
