Set List for the Inaugural Ball -- Predictions

As widely reported in various venues, the boys, or some of them at least, will be playing the Obama inaugural ball tomorrow night.

By suggestion: what should they play? what WILL they play?

the ball

Gradually, the ballroom filled up throughout the night to a capacity crowd of about 7,000. Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean was a surprise addition to the musical lineup kicking off a short musical set. The Dead, former members of the Grateful Dead who reunited partly because of Obama's campaign, also performed.

A jam band might have been an unusual choice for a ball, but the group had its fans, including Abby Penskey of Kensington. "I really thought about wearing my Birkenstocks under this dress," she said with a smile.

Early in the evening, attendees staked out positions around the stage to get a good look of the president and first lady. The area became so crowded that a second dance floor had to be opened to give those who wanted to dance the chance.This from the Baltimore Sun...

dressed up

I think they got dressed up like this before for induction into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and maybe the Bammies. So it isn't the first time.
