Some of this is hilarious.

Bermuda was tearing it up on some of these songs
That was great, like an extended polka party almost. Whom ever spliced all those tunes together did a spectacular job. It was fairly seamless.
So I gotta know, did y'all just pick a song between shows and just learn it, or already have it in your repetoir? Some are pretty simple, like the Ramones tunes, but others like Elton John are pretty intricate.
Thanks, Al put that together partly for fun, but mostly as a sampler to promote the live show streaming at Stitcher (they wouldn't have been quite as creative if left with the task.)
Most of the songs were chosen last summer, and were even assigned dates. The list was finalized by November, well in advance of the start of the tour, with only one song being added after that.
Here's the list:

I had a hand in suggesting/nixing certain songs, 18-20 on this list are mine.
Bermuda
Is there video anywhere of you playing Wipeout?
There are audience vids of most of the songs, with varying (typically poor) quality.

It actually doesn't sound as bad as intended, the real mix should be more revealing though!
