230 Santana 1969-76

The first in what is likely to be three shows looking at guitarist Carlos Santana, in this show from his beginnings fronting a latin/jazz/rock group to the beginnings of his jazz phase.  Some really memorable tracks, including two from the Woodstock set that predated their first album release by a couple of weeks or so.

100R Number One Hits

A Remastered version of our 100th show, which we decided would be out of character, in that we usually explore the less well known tracks.   Well attended too, especially for a summer holiday show.

Radio Free D’ni at 100

This week, we’ll look back at our 100th show, where we did what we normally avoid: a show full of #1 hits. Back when first aired, we kept our microphones open throughout the show so our listeners could get an idea of what goes on in the back channel during a show. This time around, we’ll let you enjoy the music on its own.

229 Summer Dance Set 2

Reviving an idea from a few years ago, a set of dance tracks for simple entertainment.  Spiced up with a theme, which this time was Funk, and we had a set of six funk tracks to represent that.  Otherwise, a varied combination of music, but all very much danceable stuff.    Peak listeners 22, maintained 18 or more for nearly the whole show, and a lot of dancing in the City 🙂

Summer Dance Party II

This week, we’ll have our second Summer Dance Party, so bring your dancing shoes, invite a Funky Bahro, and boogie along to a varied, but invariably danceable selection of tracks. You want the Funk? Dig it!

026R Rarities and What-ifs 4

An early show, remastered at last, with Malaclypse unavailable to engineer or comment so you were subject to my poor German accent.  Twenty listeners max, which is an excellent number for a holiday season show.

Preshow and most of the postshow taken from the R section of my stash…

Rarities and What-Ifs, part 4

This weekend, we will have our fourth collection of bits that are rarely, if ever, heard on FM radio, and those that have a bit of an interesting history to them: Rarities, and What-Ifs, as in “What would you do if you were a famous Heavy Metal band and wanted to do a song based on a novel, only to have the author tell you through his agents that he ‘dislikes Rock music in general and [your band] in particular?'”

We’ll find out during the show.

228 The Mamas and The Papas

A show reminding us of just how good those four-part harmonies were back then, as well as giving us some background on what the various group members did after they broke up.

Preshow included their first recorded work, as backing group for Barry McGuire, and the p;ostshow was taken from their live set from the Monterey Pop Festival.
