Oh man, and we kick off with a good one! Britny Fox's "Save the Weak", a power ballad about taking care of folks less fortunate than yourself

And we have Britny Fox's signature hip swaying, which they do at different paces depending on the song (faster for Girlschool, etc)

From Britny Fox to Iron Maiden! 2 Minutes to Midnight is played at their concerts more time than not, and here you get the fun soundstage / cinematic mix of a video, which Maiden did better than most at this time.

First cover of the evening, and it's a classic! Well, to me it is. to my wife it's "Imagine if you took a song people loved and smeared poop on it.

Anyway, it's Faster Pussycat's cover of "You're So Vain".

I unironically love this cover. My wife? Not so much.

Another Ratt concert video? Another Ratt concert video.

Like, I'm not complaining, but here we are. I THINK the actress in this is the same one from Kiss's "Turn On The Night", but I'm not 100% sure.

Also, there's Juan doing some bass dance moves. Never disappoints.

John Bush Anthrax is best Anthrax.

"Only" is probably the most popular Bush-era song, but The Sound of White Noise has a bunch of bangers on it.

John's in top form here, still sounds like he did in his first run with Armored Saint. Still has the hair at this point too

Foolin' comes from Pyromania, the first album with Phil Collen on it. Mutt Lange had invited Phil to come in and play a couple backing parts, which turned to a couple solos, which turned to Pete Willis no longer being in the band.

There's a dude with a harp in this video.

Circa 1990-91, I played the bejesus out of this compilation album containing that track. I loved that album! (I’m now going to try to find it in a closet.)

The only thing I can think of whenever I see the Cello mentioned is when rapper Fetty Wap thought it was a woodwind instrument and made a lyric as if it was.

And nobody around him stopped him or corrected him.
