U2, "40" (Live at Red Rocks)

As @LinerNotes pointed out, today is the 30th anniversary of U2's third album, War. Take a few minutes to enjoy the closing song from the album, performed live at Red Rocks Amphitheater. If you've been to one of the band's concerts, this will undoubtedly present a familiar scene... and you might even find yourself singing along with the crowd. How long?

A CAPPELLA WEEK: Perpetuum Jazzile, "Africa" (Toto)

This has to be the best vocal approximation of rain and thunder I've ever heard. The singing's great, too. Thank you, Slovenia!

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Huey Lewis & The News, "The Power of Love"

Rockford Pete writes in with this special request:
This is my request for next open Sunday slot. Preferably with clips of Michael J. Fox on skateboard and in Toyota 4x4. (I thought/think skateboarding is stupid, but loved/love that truck.)

Mr. Lewis may be the absolutely destitute man's Bruce Springsteen, but Power of Love is a rockin' good time. Listen to it and try not to sing along. Can't be done! If you try too hard, you'll hurt yourself. Let it out!
Peter, your wish is granted. In full.

Suzanne Vega, "Tom's Diner"

From the "Mother of the MP3," the song that spawned the moniker... I'm looking for the funnies...

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Crosby, Stills and Nash, "Southern Cross" (Live)

Retep Nadroj, of the Greater Milwaukee metro area writes:

"I want a "Southern Cross" cover. Not the CSNY version (I like that version, but think others have done it better). And NOT Jimmy Buffet. He's basically the Gauguin of music... a sponging, derivative leech. Here's why I like the song: Musically it's probably ho-hum. But the lyrics put you in another world. I imagine sailing some old trading scow in the South Pacific. I think it's what I was born to do..."
Well, unfortunately, I couldn't track down a good cover, so here it goes with a  live version.  Enjoy!
