@derek Ha, usually I have meticulous time details, but this time I haven't had time to add the times in time.

But that live remixing was my spontaneous Jim Steinman tribute section. He died just a few days earlier. He wrote & produced those hit songs performed by Air Supply, Bonnie Tyler, Barry Manilow, Meat Loaf, Sisters of Mercy, and two big songs from Streets of Fire.
