I notice they've been playing these songs on the local classic rock radio, 
too.  I dunno if it's because people are requesting them, or if the radio 
DJs are excited about it.  I've heard Bowie and Clapton on, too.

Definitely in tune with the audience--it's one of the things they've always 
been good at.  I'm wondering where the video came from, too.  A Who Films 
production?  It was really effective during WGFA, but surely it wasn't shot 
for the occasion.  Maybe the City of NY provided existing footage?  
Whatever, it was perfect.
