That was good, but it seems to me that maybe MT wmight have been a better venue for Carlin. Just a suggestion though.

Some questions:

Is there any particular reason the EM was in a different posision for the oppening number?
Is the oppening number the one by Three Dog Night?
Is the closing number the one by Chicago?

You do a great job on these outlines! I would personally like to see another MT or JHH one, but it's up to you.

The closing number isn't by Chicago. It's older than Chicago.

Is there any particular reason the EM was in a different posision for the oppening number?

It's just how I pictured it in my head. I was picturing this as an actual number, and I pictured Dr. Teeth playing keyboards in front of Animals drums. The positioning of the other members was just a random decision.

Is the oppening number the one by Three Dog Night?
Is the closing number the one by Chicago?

I don't know who wrote or performed those songs. I've just heard them on the radio.
