My guess - and fervent HOPE - is that they'll take this opportunity to do some of the songs from the 1980s that they don't get to do too often (plus a couple that they do perform). So I'd be thrilled to see some of these:

Angst In My Pants
Moustache
Wacky Women
I Predict
Tips for Teens
Funny Face
I Married a Martian
Change
Shopping Mall of Love - why not??
With All My Might
Pulling Rabbits
So Important
Cool Places -- WITH JANE!!!!!

Ahh, Cool Places w/ Jane would be great! Did she ever perform with them in the '80s?

I would absolutely be down with most of that list, but Shopping Mall of Love...there are just sooooooo many much better songs they could play.

down...but I'd even fly halfway around the world to hear Sparks play that song...........oh(!) ..I DID fly halfway around the world to hear Sparks play 'DON'T SHOOT ME' .

As long as they play BIG BOY.....!

ok - those are great lists.

but all I want to hear is:

BRENDA IS ALWAYS IN THE WAY!!!

(i've also had a dream that the encore will be 21 songs - one from each album. eh?)

I think we all agree - American 80s catalog is the way to go! If there was one show I could have seen from the Spectacular that I didn't, it probably would have been Angst!!!!

In fact, wouldn't it have been cool if they did Angst and ECOTD in LA? Wow...but of course, you can never hear Kimono enough...
oh who cares, it's going to be one of the greatest nights ever.

So hard to choose, but I'd love to hear "Girl From Germany" (mydaughter's favorite) and most anything from "Indiscreet" and "Propaganda." In an interview in LAist (http://laist.com/2009/02/10/laist_interview_russell_mael_of_spa.php), Russell mentioned how much fun they had doing "Introducing Sparks" during 21X21, so I hope they perform "Goofing Off" on Saturday. Some of the 80s stuff would be appropriate, given the venue. And I love the suggestion of "Brenda Is Always in the Way."

Really, I'm just thrilled to be going -- they can sing anything and I'll be delighted!!
