Some other friends of mine expressed this opinion, also.  We have a classic 
rock club where stuff like you are referring to are played 3 days a week.  
This is our first shot at music in the yard (a weekly tradition).  We wanted 
to stick to stuff people know our first time out.  remember, these are high 
school kids who need a classic rock education.  Start with the basics before 
delving into more advanced topics.  They need a foundation.  If this goes 
well we can start broadening horizons the next time.  Thanks for the 
feedback, though.  I hope Baba O is an acceptable choice.  I thought about 
pinball wiz- but i wanted the who to get at least 5 minutes since Zepp was 
gettin like 11 minutes.  Oh, and the Nissan "Bargain" commercial just played. 
  cha-ching! (pete's bank account gettin larger)
