Luciano Pavarotti, may God rest his merry soul, is featured prominently in today's show. For your enjoyment, Dr. Paul has selected four lovely Italian folk songs and a Mozart aria song by this legendary, unforgettable tenor, shown here at a performance in Russia in 2004. Also featured are playful sonatas by Scarlatti, and lovely music by composers working in the bel canto (beautiful song) era of the 19th century, including Chopin, Paganini, and Crusell.

September 14, 1999 was the date, and this was a total sleeper show. Nobody expected the band to lay down such a thick and musically rich second set, comprised of only five songs. Zappa's Peaches En Regalia opened, followed by one of the longest AC/DC bags to date. AC/DC slides into Gumbo, followed by Down With Disease into Frankenstein. The first set (which opens the show) was also spectacularly fun and easy to listen to, perfect for a new phan just warming up her listening skills... Enjoy!
