Here's your fic with the names "Joey" changed to "Bob" and "Danny" changed to "Bradley":

Y/n smiled as she drove, the upbeat tunes of ABBA filling the car with joyous energy. DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle chattered excitedly in the backseat, their voices blending together in a chorus of anticipation.

"Are you excited to marry Jake, Aunt Y/n?" DJ asked eagerly, her eyes shining with curiosity.

Y/n glanced at her reflection in the rearview mirror, a soft smile playing on her lips. "I am, DJ," she replied, her voice tinged with warmth. "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him."

Stephanie piped up from the backseat, her enthusiasm contagious. "What's he like as a fiancé, Aunt Y/n? Is he romantic?"

Y/n chuckled, her heart swelling with affection for Jake. "He's incredibly romantic, Steph," she admitted, her thoughts drifting to all the sweet gestures and loving moments they had shared together. "He always knows how to make me feel loved and cherished."

Michelle, ever the inquisitive three-year-old, chimed in with her own question. "Will Jake wear a fancy suit at the wedding, Aunt Y/n?"

Y/n nodded, smiling at her youngest niece's curiosity. "Yes, Michelle," she replied, her voice filled with excitement. "He'll look very handsome in his suit."

As they arrived at the boutique, Y/n's heart fluttered with anticipation. She couldn't wait to find the perfect wedding dress and accessories for her special day, surrounded by the love and support of her beloved nieces.

Together, they stepped into the boutique, ready to embark on the next chapter of Y/n's journey to happily ever after. And as they browsed through racks of beautiful dresses and sparkling accessories, Y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for the love and companionship she had found in Jake, and for the cherished moments she shared with her adoring nieces.

The boutique was a whirlwind of lace, silk, and tulle, with racks of wedding dresses in every style imaginable. Y/n's heart raced with excitement as she and her nieces began their search for the perfect gown.

DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle eagerly pulled dresses off the racks, their eyes sparkling with excitement as they imagined Y/n wearing each one. "How about this one, Aunt Y/n?" DJ exclaimed, holding up a classic ballgown with intricate lace detailing.

Y/n smiled as she examined the dress, running her fingers over the delicate fabric. "It's beautiful, DJ," she replied, her heart swelling with gratitude for her nieces' enthusiasm.

Stephanie held up a sleek, modern gown with a plunging neckline and beaded embellishments. "Or maybe something like this, Aunt Y/n?" she suggested, her eyes alight with excitement.

Y/n nodded, impressed by Stephanie's eye for fashion. "That's stunning, Steph," she agreed, envisioning herself walking down the aisle in the elegant gown.

Meanwhile, Michelle toddled around the boutique, her eyes wide with wonder as she explored the array of accessories on display. "Look, Aunt Y/n!" she exclaimed, holding up a shimmering tiara adorned with sparkling crystals. "You could wear this on your wedding day!"

Y/n laughed, her heart melting at Michelle's innocence and enthusiasm. "That's lovely, Michelle," she replied, her eyes brimming with love for her youngest niece.

As they continued their search, trying on dresses and experimenting with different accessories, Y/n felt overwhelmed with gratitude for the precious moments she shared with her nieces. With their love and support, she knew that no matter which dress she chose, her wedding day would be a celebration of love, family, and the beautiful journey she was about to embark on with Jake by her side.

Amidst all the excitement and suggestions from her nieces, Y/n's heart remained set on her dream wedding dress—a classic tulle A-line gown adorned with delicate beaded lace. As she browsed through the racks of dresses, her eyes lit up when she spotted it, hanging gracefully among the other gowns.

With a smile of anticipation, Y/n reached out to touch the soft tulle fabric, feeling the intricate lace appliqués beneath her fingertips. The dress was everything she had ever dreamed of—timeless, elegant, and utterly breathtaking.

"Girls, look!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement as she held up the dress for her nieces to see. "This is the one."

DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle gathered around her, their eyes wide with awe as they admired the gown. "It's perfect, Aunt Y/n!" DJ exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration.

Stephanie nodded in agreement, her face lighting up with a smile. "You're going to look like a princess, Aunt Y/n," she remarked, her voice tinged with excitement.

Michelle clapped her hands in delight, her eyes sparkling with joy. "I love it, Aunt Y/n!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm contagious.

With her nieces' seal of approval, Y/n knew that she had found the dress of her dreams. As she slipped into the gown and looked at her reflection in the mirror, she felt a surge of emotion wash over her. This dress wasn't just a piece of fabric—it was a symbol of love, hope, and the beautiful future she was about to embark on with Jake.

With her nieces by her side, Y/n knew that her wedding day would be a celebration of love, family, and the incredible journey that had led her to this moment. And as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the precious moments she shared with her adoring nieces, who had made this day even more special with their love and support.

Y/n stepped out of the changing room, the soft tulle of her dream wedding dress billowing around her as she emerged into the boutique. Her heart raced with anticipation as she turned to face her nieces, eager to see their reactions.

DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle stood in awe, their eyes wide with wonder as they took in the sight of their aunt in her exquisite gown. Their faces lit up with delight, their smiles stretching from ear to ear as they admired Y/n's radiant beauty.

"Wow, Aunt Y/n, you look like a real-life princess!" DJ exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration.

Stephanie nodded enthusiastically, her eyes shining with excitement. "You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen, Aunt Y/n," she declared, her words sincere and heartfelt.

Michelle clapped her hands in delight, her face aglow with joy. "Aunt Y/n, you're so pretty!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm contagious.

Tears welled up in Y/n's eyes as she gazed at her nieces, feeling overwhelmed with love and gratitude. Their genuine excitement and adoration filled her heart with warmth, reminding her of the incredible bond they shared as a family.

With her nieces by her side, Y/n knew that her wedding day would be a day to remember—a celebration of love, joy, and the precious moments she shared with her beloved family. And as she stood before them in her beautiful gown, she couldn't help but feel blessed to have such wonderful nieces who had made this day even more special with their love and support.

Overwhel

med by the love and affection of her nieces, Y/n's emotions spilled over, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks as she stood before them in her stunning wedding gown. Without hesitation, DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle rushed forward, their arms open wide as they enveloped their aunt in a warm, heartfelt embrace.

Y/n wrapped her arms around her nieces, holding them close as she savored the sweet embrace of their love. Their hugs were filled with warmth and tenderness, a comforting reminder of the unbreakable bond they shared as a family.

"Thank you, my darlings," Y/n whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "Thank you for being here with me, for sharing in this special moment."

DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle squeezed her tightly, their own tears mingling with Y/n's as they held each other close. In that moment, surrounded by the love of her precious nieces, Y/n felt a profound sense of gratitude and happiness wash over her.

With her nieces by her side, Y/n knew that she was ready to embark on the next chapter of her life—a journey filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments shared with her beloved family. And as they stood there together, wrapped in each other's arms, she couldn't help but feel immensely blessed to have such wonderful nieces who had brought so much joy and happiness into her life.

After sharing a heartfelt moment with her nieces, Y/n wiped away her tears of joy and composed herself. She returned to the changing room to slip out of her wedding gown and back into her everyday clothes, a smile still lingering on her lips as she thought about the special bond she shared with her nieces.

Once she was dressed, Y/n made her way over to the assistant, her heart still fluttering with excitement. With determination in her eyes, she approached the assistant and spoke with unwavering confidence.

"I've made my decision," Y/n announced, her voice filled with certainty. "The dress I tried on earlier—the classic tulle A-line with beaded lace—it's the one I'm taking home."

The assistant smiled warmly, understanding the significance of Y/n's choice. "Excellent choice," she replied, her tone filled with approval. "That dress is absolutely stunning on you."

With a sense of satisfaction and anticipation, Y/n made arrangements to purchase the dress, knowing that it would be the perfect gown for her special day. As she left the boutique, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement for the future, knowing that she had found the dress of her dreams and that her wedding day would be a celebration filled with love, happiness, and cherished memories.

As Jake sat with Bradley and Bob in the living room, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness about marrying Y/n soon. Bradley and Bob, sensing his apprehension, exchanged knowing glances before Bradley spoke up.

"So, Jake," Bradley began, his voice gentle but curious. "How are you feeling about marrying Y/n soon?"

Jake took a moment to collect his thoughts, feeling a surge of emotions wash over him. "Honestly, I'm feeling a bit nervous," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "But mostly, I'm just excited to start this new chapter of our lives together."

Bob nodded in understanding, a supportive smile on his face. "It's completely normal to feel nervous," he reassured Jake. "But trust me, once you see Y/n walking down that aisle, all your worries will melt away."

Jake smiled gratefully at his friends, feeling reassured by their words of wisdom. "Thanks, guys," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "I can't wait to marry Y/n and start our life together."

With Bradley and Bob by his side, Jake knew that he had the love and support of his friends as he prepared to embark on this exciting journey with Y/n.

Bradley and Bob listened attentively, nodding in understanding as they offered words of encouragement. "You're going to make a wonderful husband, Jake," Bradley reassured him, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "And Y/n is lucky to have someone as caring and devoted as you."

Bob chimed in, his trademark grin spreading across his face. "Yeah, Jake, you've got this," he said, his voice filled with confidence. "Just remember to stay true to yourself and to Y/n, and everything will fall into place."

Feeling uplifted by his friends' support, Jake felt a renewed sense of determination. "Thanks, guys," he said, a grateful smile on his face. "I know I have a lot to learn, but I'm ready to take on whatever challenges come our way."

"It's not always going to be easy," Bradley admitted, his voice filled with wisdom. "But as long as you and Y/n are committed to each other and willing to work through any obstacles together, you'll come out stronger on the other side."

Bob nodded in agreement, his expression thoughtful. "And don't forget to keep the romance alive," he added with a wink. "Surprise her with flowers, plan spontaneous date nights, and never stop telling her how much you love her."

Jake listened intently to their advice, feeling grateful for their guidance. He knew that he had a lot to learn about being a husband, but with Bradley and Bob's support, he felt more confident in his ability to navigate this new chapter of his life.

Bob nodded, his eyes reflecting fond memories. "Yeah, and she's always been there for us, through thick and thin," he added, his voice filled with appreciation.

Jake's heart swelled with love as he thought about Y/n, his soon-to-be wife. "She's truly one of a kind," he said softly, a smile spreading across his face. "And I can't wait

to spend the rest of my life making her happy."

In that moment, surrounded by cherished memories and the unwavering support of his friends, Jake felt a deep sense of gratitude for the incredible woman he was about to marry.

The Gang and Their Kids' Names. The Headcanons.

Jackie and Hyde:

Jackie hates unisex names for girls. Like Riley, Alexis, etc. Well, minus Ashley, which she secretly likes. And she tends to dislike girl names with boy nicknames, too, unless they're royal in origin (like Christina and Alexandra).

Jackie hates girl names ending in -son. She's having a daughter, damn it!

Jackie's favorite girl name is Sarah, because it means princess. She also loves Olivia, Jessica, Grace, Audrey, Diana, Gabrielle, Mariah...

Jackie has a long, long list of potential girl names, but a very, very short list of boy names.

Hyde doesn't have as many preferences, but the name Crystal reminds him of crystal meth. And he hates Gone With The Wind, so any name from that. Scarlett, Ashley, etc.

If they don't go the William (after WB), James/Jacob, John (after Jack), or Steven Jr route, Jackie and Hyde may name their son Dominic, after Eric and Donna. Reginald is often a potential middle name, too.

General:

Hyde, Eric, Donna, and Jackie are more likely to pick names after relatives and/or close friends.

Jackie and Donna (platonic):

Donna loves the name Amanda. Jackie hates it, because it has the word "man" in it.

Donna and Jackie both dislike misspelled names. Donna thinks it looks uneducated, and Jackie thinks it looks tacky.

Eric and Donna:

Eric and Donna like boring, "Mom and Dad" names. Not necessarily the most popular, for the most part, but the names that stand the test of time. Think Charlotte, Katherine, Alexandra, Emma, Lucy, etc. for girls. And Luke, Alexander, Robert, Owen, etc. for boys.

Donna likes Celtic boy names. Gavin, Colin, Connor, Kevin, Ian, Aidan, Owen, etc. And often, she likes some Celtic girl names, too. Like Megan, Caitlin, Cara, Erin, and Bridget.

Donna jokingly suggests the name Leia, to see Eric freak out/squirm, followed by the far more palatable name Leah. After Return of the Jedi, she also jokes that if they ever have twins, they should be named Luke and Leia. Eric is horrified and offended.

Donna hates most trendy names of the 80s and 90s. Especially Brittany, Whitney, Courtney, Ashley, Tiffany, etc.

Fez and Kelso (platonic):

Kelso wants to name his kid after himself, or any name that means "handsome" or "pretty."

Kelso likes trendy names of the 80s and 90s. Think Cody, Garrett, Austin, or Tyler for boys. And Amber and Mackenzie for girls.

But usually, Kelso will go with whatever name his wife suggests (*cough* Brooke *cough*).

Fez and Kelso think misspelled names are "creative."

Fez is drawn to Latin names, because of his "Latin pride." And to the name Jasmine, because of the nickname Jazz.

Who let the dog out? This incarnation of the 80s Grue Crew did, for their 100th episode together and for this year’s Halloween episode. For the occasions, they dip back into the Stephen King well for one of the trio of his films released in 1983: Cujo. Unleash the terror! Despite the puns, this film has a lot going for it. Director Lewis Teague gets powerful performances from Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro that make Cujo a truly terrifying and heartwrenching movie. And then, there’s that rabid giant of a dog! The 80s bunch loves it! Even so, they go oft astray. 

At the time of this writing, Cujo is available for streaming from MAX, as well as PPV from multiple sources. It is also available on physical media as Cujo (40th Anniversary Edition) in standard Blu-ray or 4K UHD formats from KL Studio Classics.

It’s a King doubleheader and a double tap for the latter. Who doesn’t love a Green Goblin-adorned semi-truck?

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].

A Few Words About 1978 As a Whole

1978 is a year that I find really underrated when looking back at the late seventies, especially when looking back at disco's heyday. 1977 was when the genre had its big mainstream explosion and took the world by storm. 1979 only seems to become interesting to people when they want to talk about the backlash and Disco Demolition Night. Nobody really seems to want to explore that sweet spot in the middle, which is 1978. It's a fun year and it might as well be called the disco year, mostly because that's pretty much the only music getting really big and the only music record companies wanted to go all in on. If you're asking yourself why there's so much disco on this one, it's because that's what most of this year end list is! We're gonna talk about it a little more in-depth below because, much like the playlist made to explore 1981, this one also follows the idea of organizing songs into specific segments. I think it makes it more interesting than just me throwing forty songs out there and it's fun to pick the best songs and figure out what they all have in common with each other (if anything). Also, it's forty songs this time instead of thirty because a) It was honestly kinda hard to make cuts because I really enjoy a lot of this year and b) I think it would be funnier if I'm never consistent with the number of songs included in these.

So, without further ado, let's talk about some of the segments you'll find here!

Segment #1: The Reign of the Brothers Gibb

You guys ever see the movie Saturday Night Fever? If you haven't, you've definitely heard the music from it. That movie not only skyrocketed the career of the Bee Gees (who were only somewhat successful before becoming disco kings) but the soundtrack to that movie did NUMBERS (it was the best selling album in history before Thriller came along in '82) and suddenly, everybody wanted a piece of that pie. Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb were enjoying a chart run and a level of success that was unseen in America since the Beatles landed in '64. They were so successful and so powerful, their baby brother Andy Gibb basically scored a successful solo career simply by being related to them.

Of the one-hundred songs on the year end list, eight of them were a hit that one of the Bee Gees or Andy Gibb were responsible for. I normally don't want to include numerous songs from one artist because I think it making the playlist stale, but if you're gonna explore what's going on in 1978, it's required to know that these dudes were everywhere. They're not called "The Disco Kings" for nothing. Every single one of these songs was written by them and features them as performers in some way (except "If I Can't Have You." That was written by the Gibbs, but none of them are on it). So if you're not a Bee Gees fan at all, 1978 would've been a nightmare for you!

Tracks in This Segment:

Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

Shadow Dancin' - Andy Gibb

Night Fever - Bee Gees

If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman

How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees

Emotion - Samantha Sang

Grease - Frankie Valli

Segment #2: You're the One That I Want (to Duet With)

After that first segment, we're leaving the disco behind (but don't get too comfy, it'll be back with a vengeance) and we're gonna enjoy some nice duets that got big during the year. Like Saturday Night Fever, Grease was a movie soundtrack that did super well (John Travolta had a knack for attaching himself to movie soundtracks that sell really well) so that's represented here. "Summer Nights" was on the list, but I chose "You're the One That I Want" because it's more well known, more beloved, and it just feels like a song that works better as something you could listen to divorced from the movie it's from.

After John Travolta gets done ogling at Olivia Newton-John's skin-tight leather pants, Roberta Flack teams up with Donny Hathaway to deliver one of the most beautiful love songs of the entire decade with "The Closer I Get To You." Flack and Hathaway were always a fantastic duet duo with perfect chemistry, but this is hands-down the best song that partnership ever birthed. There's admittedly a bit of sadness knowing that Donny would sadly take his own life less than a year after this became a hit, but what he left behind with this is another example of how fantastic he was and how he could make Roberta even better than she already was.

On a cheerier note, Johnny Mathis finally scored a #1 hit on Billboard (which hadn't happened since "Chances Are" hit it big in 1957) and his friend Deniece Williams joined him on that ride. They offer a breakup song as a duet, but it's a really cute and mature one and much like Flack and Hathaway, they make a good team.

Tracks in This Segment:

You're the One That I Want - John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John

The Closer I Get to You - Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway

Too Much, Too Little, Too Late - Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams

Segment #3: I Can't Believe It's NOT Disco: The Pop and Rock Outliers of 1978

This is one grouping where the common thread became made up entirely of the pop artists and rock bands that were living in their own worlds and making music that was going against a lot of what was happening during the year. Wings and Electric Light Orchestra offer Beatlesque pop (fitting, because Wings is led by former Beatle Paul McCartney and ELO is led by Beatles fanboy Jeff Lynne). We've got some neat and obscure one-hit-wonders with Chris Rea and Toby Beau, who both offer songs that feel like they'd make great additions to a Star-Lord/Guardians of the Galaxy fan's mixtape cassette someday. Robert Palmer is giving us his best white man soul singer cool guy vibes with "Every Kinda People" and the Little River Band (the other Australians that invaded the U.S. after the Bee Gees took up residence) goes walking through the park, dancing in the dark, and "Reminiscing" about the era of the big bands with Glenn Miller references.

But it wouldn't truly be the seventies if the dad rock wasn't represented in some way and luckily for us, some of the dad rock that got big was pretty damn good. Jackson Browne (or, The Thinking Man's Bob Seger) had his best song get big in 1978, Lynyrd Skynyrd scored a hit with "What's Your Name" in the wake of the terrible tragedy of the plane crash that took the lives of three members (off an album that was, unfortunately, called Street Survivors). Foreigner got Hot Blooded and scored big, and Styx took us to the sky with the rock masterpiece "Come Sail Away."

As we've talked about before, disco and the Brothers Gibb had the charts in a chokehold, but that doesn't mean that was all that was getting big. There's some good stuff in this segment. Rock on, dudes.

Tracks in This Segment:

With a Little Luck - Wings

Sweet Talkin' Woman - Electric Light Orchestra

Fool (If You Think It's Over) - Chris Rea

My Angel Baby - Toby Beau

Every Kinda People - Robert Palmer

Reminiscining - Little River Band

Running on Empty - Jackson Browne

What's Your Name - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hot Blooded - Foreigner

Come Sail Away - Styx

Segment #4: Where in the Hell is Fleetwood Mac???

This segment is a short one, only two songs, but it still reveals something: Fleetwood Mac isn't here. But... it's the late seventies! Where the hell are they on this list!?!

The answer is that for most of the year, they're in a studio in California burning Warner Bros. Records' cash because Lindsey Buckingham keeps coming up with wacky experiments and the interpersonal drama between the band is causing their follow-up to Rumours to take way longer than Warner Bros. would like (and expected).

However, that doesn't mean the members all completely disappeared. These two songs are representatives of where Fleetwood Mac were spending some of their time during the drought between albums. Lindsey and Christine McVie lend their services to former Mac singer/guitarist Bob Welch, who records a new version of an old FM tune from 1972 that didn't get big the first time. Lindsey plays guitar on it and Christine is on backing vocals (you'll hear them, don't worry). Meanwhile, Walter Egan would like some background vocalists for a song he's doing that's gonna be a decent hit and employs the help of Lindsey and Stevie Nicks to make it happen (they're easy to pick out). The only other place where Stevie shows up during 1978 is on Kenny Loggins' hit "Whenever I Call You 'Friend'" (which was cut because I find that song boring and those two are a bad pairing. I think she should do something with that Tom Petty guy instead). These two are pretty good cuts and I think they deserve their place here.

Tracks in This Segment:

Sentimental Lady - Bob Welch

Magnet and Steel - Walter Egan

Segment #5: Melancholy Girls and Country-Pop Crossovers

We gave the dad rock its moment in the sun, but now it's time to turn the lights down... this one's for the ladies.

Every now and again, country musicians burst through the Nashville bubble and cross over into the mainstream chart waters. 1978 saw Dolly Parton's big pop move with the title track from her album Here You Come Again and country singer Crystal Gayle crossed over with "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." Neither hit betrays the strengths of either of these women and in the case of Dolly, Here You Come Again is basically the seventies version of what Kacey Musgraves pulled off with Golden Hour (a country singer dabbling in the pop music world and finding she's good at it).

When I was making choices for this list, I was surprised to see how much country-pop was present on the list. A song from Grease appears again with "Hopelessly Devoted to You," a song John Farrar wrote exclusively for Olivia Newton-John for the movie and you can tell because it's a hell of a lot more country-tinged than any other song in Grease. Even Linda Ronstadt played with country elements when she scored a hit by turning Roy Orbison's 1963 hit "Blue Bayou," which is such an incredible version of the song, borderline definitive. Linda's so fucking good and this song is one of many examples of what she could do with a song.

The only one of these songs not playing with any country elements is "You Belong to Me," a good hit from one of Carly Simon's best albums as well as the second time she nailed her own version of a Michael McDonald-penned Doobie Brothers song (the other one was "It Keeps You Runnin'" from 1976). You can hear the disco elements creep in with the beat, the strings near the end of the song, and the saxophone solo. It's incorporating disco elements into things but without losing what makes Carly a great singer-songwriter. This is a fun segment.

Tracks in This Segment:

Here You Come Again - Dolly Parton

Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton-John

Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt

You Belong to Me - Carly Simon

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle

Segment #6: New York, New York

One thread I found in my picks as well as in general is that most of the really big California bands disappeared for 1978. The Doobie Brothers don't release the Minute by Minute album until December, so '79 is their year. The Eagles are taking a million years to make The Long Run because they can't fucking stand each other and we already covered where Fleetwood Mac is. So, 1978 is a year where the east coast is thriving, particularly in New York. This segment features either native New Yorkers (Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Chuck Mangione, Barry Manilow, the ladies of Odyssey) or by Broadway performers (applies only to Meat Loaf).

George Benson (who is from Pittsburgh, PA, not New York) breathes new life into "On Broadway," Steely Dan score a strange hit about the losers in the world with "Deacon Blues," Piano Man Billy Joel serenades us with "Just the Way You Are," and Meat Loaf delivers a moving ballad that only a theatre kid on Earth could deliver with "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."

Chuck Mangione and Barry Manilow deserve special mention as the hits they're providing here still ooze their style, but, once again, you can hear disco creeping in like a disease on top of capturing tropical sounds. "Feels So Good" has shades of it throughout. It lays the ground work for what Herb Alpert would see success with a year later in "Rise." The disco elements are more obvious with Barry, who found success with the greatest song of his career. There's a lot of jokes about "Copacabana" and about Barry's status as a cheeseball lounge lizard, but I love it so so much. "Copacabana" is one of the best songs of the decade and I'm not accepting questions at this time. I always love when the song goes full disco for a few seconds when Barry sings the line, "Now it's a disco, but not for Lola." These two songs are really fun.

This segment ends with a really great underrated soul song called "Native New Yorker" by a trio called Odyssey. I was unaware of this song before making this list and I'm glad I found it. It really helps sell the magic and myth of NYC and I really fucking adore this. This rules and it brings the segment to a really good close.

Tracks in This Segment:

On Broadway - George Benson

Deacon Blues - Steely Dan

Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - Meat Loaf

Feels So Good - Chuck Mangione

Copacabana - Barry Manilow

Native New Yorker - Odyssey

Segment #7: It's Got Soul AND You Can Dance To It

This second-to-last segment doesn't need a lot of explanation. While disco was owning 1978, there were genres adjacent to disco, such as funk, soul, and R&B that were getting big and seeing success. These three songs are representatives of that from three really good groups. My favorite of the three is "Serpentine Fire," one of Earth, Wind & Fire's more underrated hits.

Tracks in This Segment:

The Groove Line - Heatwave

Serpentine Fire - Earth, Wind & Fire

Use Ta Be My Girl - The O'Jays

Segment #8/Finale: An Ode to Black Divas

This playlist began with exploring the Bee Gees and their overwhelming success, but where there are Disco Kings, there must be Disco Queens. Black women are incredibly important to disco holding the fuck up as a genre and this final segment is here as a means to honor a few of the black women that laid down some magic that year. Our three representatives include the wonderfully underrated Evelyn "Champagne" King with "Shame," the incredible Precious Wilson and Eruption doing Ann Peebles justice with their version of "I Can't Stand the Rain," and of course, the queen of disco herself, Donna Summer to close it out and bring us home with one "Last Dance" (if you were afraid she wasn't going to be here, your fears are now gone).

These women each bring something great to the table and they're worth your time. I can't think of a better note to end on.

I've rambled for way too long, so if you've read up to this point, I thank you and I'm appreciative. I hope you enjoy exploring 1978 and I hope you take a look at the full one-hundred song list. There might be more gems out there that I didn't include that you'll fall in love with. <3

Open for bootleg trading~

Hello all! I am posting my bootleg list here for now as a temporary list until I get my website up and running- I am open to trading! I’m mainly looking for any Cats production- preferably English or Dutch but any musical would be nice to have and expand my collection. 

Addams Family - Broadway - March 12, 2010

FORMAT: .VOB w/o smalls

CAST:Nathan Lane (Gomez Addams), Bebe Neuwirth (Morticia Addams), Terrence Mann (Mal Beineke), Carolee Carmello (Alice Beineke), Kevin Chamberlin (Uncle Fester), Jackie Hoffman (Grandma), Zachary James (Lurch), Wesley Taylor (Lucas Beineke), Krysta Rodriguez (Wednesday Addams), Adam Riegler (Pugsley Addams)

NOTES: Video quality isn't the best, and audio is sometimes on the softer side. Still a very entertaining show.

Anastasia - Broadway - September 6, 2017

FORMAT: (VOBs w/ smalls)

CAST: Christy Altomare (Anastasia), Derek Klena (Dmitry), John Bolton (Vlad), Ramin Karimloo (Gleb), Caroline O'Connor (Lily), Mary Beth Peil (Maria Feodorovna), Zach Adkins, Sissy Bell, Lauren Blackman, Kyle Brown, Janet Dickinson, Constantine Germanacos, Wes Hart, Ken Krugman, Shina Ann Morris, James A. Pierce III, Molly Rushing, Nicole Scimerca, Johnny Stellard, Allison Walsh (Ensemble)

Aladdin - Broadway, 2014-Nov-05 (SunsetBlvd79‘s master)

Format: VOB + smalls (7.58 GB)

CAST: Adam Jacobs (Aladdin), Courtney Reed (Jasmine), Merwin Foard (s/b Jafar), Michael James Scott (s/b Genie)

NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of latest Disney Broadway offering. Great to see the changes from the Toronto tryout. Michael and Merwin do terrific jobs as Genie and Jafar.

Beauty and the Beast New Zealand April 2006 - Proshot

Format: .VOB w/ smalls

Cast: Jade Steele, Russell Dixon, Glen Drake, Rob Ormsby, Gladys Hope

NOTES: Only the first act & first part of act two! 

Beauty and the Beast (Disney) - Broadway - July 27, 2007 (Unknown's video master)

CAST: Anneliese van der Pol (Belle), Steve Blanchard (Beast/Prince), Jamie Ross (Maurice), Chris Hoch (Gaston), David DeVries (Lumière), Jeanne Lehman (Mrs. Potts), Glenn Rainey (Cogsworth), Ann Mandrella (Babette), Trevor Braun (Chip), Aldrin Gonzalez (Le Fou)

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me! Like I said I would love any cats bootleg- especially the older ones in English and Dutch from like the 80′s till the 00′s. I am also looking for more diversity in my list- and I’m also looking for the classics- Dear Evan Hansen, Falsetto’s, some more Phantom Of the Opera, Mean Girls, Legally Blond, etc...
