As for the classic Jukes tunes, there were many including: I Played The Fool, Talk To Me, This Time It's For Real, Fever, Trapped Again and, of course, I Don't Want To Go Home (during which we totally embarassed the wife's son#1 by partaking in much dancing, shimmying and arm-raising.)
There were a couple of surprises too. The first was that they ended the set with "Hearts of Stone". I guess if I had played "Having A Party" as many times as these guys surely have, I'd want to switch things up too. The second (and bigger) surprise was the appearance of "I Remember Last Night". This is a tune from the eponymous Jukes record and was a favorite of my crowd back during college. There's something about that line "The Door Flew Open" that made us want to fling our young selves high in the air (especially after a few beverages.)
