Music: F&G vs F&W

But… smash mouth!

You're not wrong there. We watched Little River Band and it was basically three 20-minute concerts - two or three big hits and they were pushing one new song.
Now, this last fall we were at F&W and saw Postmodern Jukebox. Basically they took their hour-plus live touring show and cut into into three sections and that's what you saw at Epcot, and they acted as though they were performing to the same group, but with intermissions. Saw all three and it was a blast.

O.M.G I might actually get to see Rick Springfield again!.Only got to see 2 concerts growing up, and he was one of them!!! We might be there then, if we go ahead with our plans for then, well, and we get park tickets. I agree that the last few years at least, FG has had WAY more acts that I'd like to see.
from this line up, would love to see: Berlin, Journey, even w the other guy, Flock/Seagulls, maybe Fedler from the Eagles, wonder what Eagles songs they'd do, AJ Croce, would love to hear his take on the Croce songs, Commodores, and Wang Chung. I am a child of the 70s, 80s, so almost anything from those decades gets me excited!!!
Usually our dates never match up with the acts I want to see. These Epcot concerts are going in the "Pro" column for retiring to Orlando

Also, check out the lineups for the SeaWorld Seven Seas festival:

Univeral always has a LOT more acts I don't recognize at all, but at least they got Patti Labelle,and I've heard of Goo Goo Dolls

MTE.  I have a strong dislike for "edited for time" songs, and that's what you get at these shows.  I've never paid attention to the schedule/lineups.  If we happen to be in Epcot and it's a performer I know of, then we'll stop and watch.  The only band I recall stopping for then leaving kind of quickly for was Simple Plan.  The music was fine, but the overuse of strobes and flashing lights was annoying.

I saw Don Felder a few years ago in Epcot (maybe 2019?) and it was cool seeing him play the Hotel California solo up close and personal.  

I cannot speak for this group...but I think it may be Jeff Lynne.

I say this because going back a few years the First Time I met TomandRobin in person was at Epcot (We may have shared a few margaritas in the Tequila bar...) and as I left I just happened by the American Paviliion where none other than he was playing with "The Orchestra".  And yes, I was stunned.  Made me go buy thier Essentials on Itunes.  I am going to guess this was around 2013???  They were a one off, pop up show.  I do not think it was even announced.  

And I was only on property 1 day after a conference.  That is why it was so memorable to me.  And I am pretty sure I saw them a few years ago as well and it was same lead singer.  

I will admit, I could be fooled and my memory sucks so I can stand corrected but that is my memory.

the other one I saw was the Allen Parsons PRoject.  Another great find,

On the radio! Where did you find a radio station that still plays those kinds of oldies. Around here, what I grew up with as "the oldies channel" are now playing the '80s.

I knew a guy who is probably 75 now, who told me of the time he was a kid of probably early-teens, walked into a guitar lessons place and told the guy he wanted to learn to play that new song, "Mrs Brown you've got a Lovely Daughter"...the guy had him come back next week because he had to learn it himself.
