The Pretenders

some others off the top of my head:
Ella Fitzgerald
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
The Count Basie Orchestra
Pete Seeger
Arlo Guthrie
Elvis Costello
Robert "Escalator of Life" Hazard (on the bill with Elvis)
U2 (just before they hit it big in the U.S.)

k.d. lang
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra & guests there like Hilary Hahn, Radu Lupu, Evgeny Kissin

Alison Krauss
Mark O'Connor
Bobby McFerrin
Tito Puente
Natalie McMaster
Etta James
the line-up at that March on Washington stadium show, including k.d., Melissa Etheridge, George Michael, Chaka Khan, the Pet Shop Boys, and Tipper Gore herself

embarrassing, unsatisfying, and/or "eh":

David Bowie
Melissa Ferrick
Flock of Seagulls (with Elvis & the Escalator guy)

To my recollection there was not a WORD of talk at this production. Not even "hello Cleveland!" or wherever the hell we were. That would've been way too customized.

I love "Space Oddity" too. Hey, do you like "Kooks"? One of the few songs about parenting I can stand. ("I'm not much cop at punching other people's dads..." --- love that)

I'm not sure that I know "Kooks." I can't remember whether I even own Hunky Dory... It's been too long since I've given my Bowie collection a workout, actually. Maybe that'll be my project for the next week or two.
