The slightly later than planned start meant a slight re-schduling of the programme for the evening, but the regular themes were up first, as usual:
- OBITUARIES. The tracks we played were:
| David Axelrod (Producer) | The Edge |
| Brian Matthew | 2 intros + final show |
| Chuck Berry | Back in the USA/Memphis Tennessee/Nadine |
| Clem Curtis (Foundations original singer) | Back on my feet again |
| Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) | Black hole sun |
| J. Geils | Centerfold |
| David Peel | Hippie from New York City |
| Chester Bennington (Linkin Park singer) | In the end |
| Gregg Allmann | Melissa |
| Lonnie Brooks | Mojo Hand |
| Saxa (Saxophonist - The Beat) | Too nice to talk to |
| Bruce Langhorne | Tribute |
| Allan Holdsworth (guitarist/compsoer) | Tribute |
| Joni Sledge (Sister Sledge) | Tribute/medley |
| Glen Campbell | Wichita Lineman/Galveston |
| Anita Pallenberg | You got the silver |
In addition to the above, the following notables had also passed since the last get-together:
| Pete Shotton | John Lennon's bestie; his wife was the "pretty nurse selling poppies from a tray"; "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye" from a school nursery rhyme that John couldn't remember the lyrics of |
| Toby Grafftey-Smith (Jamiroquai keyboards) | Artisan cider maker and member of the hunting set |
| Sylvia Moy (songwriter/producer) | Uptight/My Cherie Amour/I was made to love her/This old heart of mine |
| John F Muir (Producer) | John Peel show |
| Vin Garbutt ("Teeside Troubador") | Best live act - Radio 2 Folk Awards 2001 |
| Paul Hollingdale (DJ) | Opened Radio 2 in 1967 |
| Ray Phiri (S.A. guitarist) | Played on Paul Simon's Graceland |
I proposed a shortlist of 4 from the above for the "most missed" vote:
- Chuck Berry
- Glen Campbell
- Gregg Allman
- Brian Matthew
There were 3 votes each for Chuck and Glen, while Steve opted for Gregg, which gave him the casting vote and he went for Chuck as the Most Missed.
The next session was the traditional second theme - and it was by far the largest ever:
- SEPTUAGENARIANS. This was the first - and only - paper vote of the evening and 22 of the 33 tracks played received votes, with the results as follows:
1 Ronnie Wood (I Know I'm) Losing You 57 2 Iggy Pop The Passenger 54 3 Carlos Santana Black magic woman 50 4 Brian May Killer Queen 43 5 Mick Fleetwood The Chain 39 6 Wilko Johnson She does it right 28 7 Julie Driscoll This wheel's on fire 25 8 Leland Sklar Country Road (James Taylor) 16 9 Don Henley Witchy Woman 14 10 Steve Howe I've seen all good people 9 11 Emmylou Harris You never can tell 8 12 Albert Bouchard Don't fear the reaper 6 13 Joey Molland Without You 5 14= Laurie Anderson O Superman 5 14= Mike de Albuquerque Ma-Ma-Ma Belle 5 16 Kiki Dee Amoureuse 4 17 Ry Cooder Little Sister 4 18= Burke Shelley Breadfan 3 18= Junior Campbell Hallelujah Freedom 3 18= David Essex Rock on 3 21 Bernie Leadon Six days on the road 2 22 Patricia Bennett One Fine Day 1 1 - The other 11 tracks played were:
