226 Saga

A prolific Canadian rock band, mostly progressive, we chose to give you the Chapters of their science fiction saga, originally issued, out of order, over their albums from 1978 to 2003.  In the natural break between the first and second books (so to speak) we had four of their concert favourites.

There’s lots more of their work, so let us know if you want us to cover it.

094R Todd Rundgren

The first of Hugh’s shows that we have remastered, and he was with us on the stream.  Unfortunately, the stream was afflicted with some strange voice distortions on our announcements, but the music was clear, so we carried on while searching for a solution.  Some testing to be done.

Show featured Todd Rundgren solo and with his band Utopia.  Preshow was stuff produced by Todd ans postshow was covers of Rundgren songs.

Off the Beatles Track

This week’s show will concern itself with the bits one rarely hears by that band one constantly hears, the Beatles. For the historically inclined, there will be bits that contain the absolute Best drumming, er Peter Best’s drumming on record, before he was replaced with Ringo Starr.

094R Steely Dan II

The second and final part of our Steely Dan history, covering Goucho, the breakup and the solo activities that followed, and the final reunion.  A more varied selection than part 1, but more interesting for that.

Steely Dan, part 2

Since we did the first part of our history of Steely Dan week before the last, we thought it might be a good idea to also broadcast the second part, which we will do this Sunday.

224 Gordon Lightfoot

A show prompted by my hearing of his passing, and being a long time fan of his music.  Something a little different to our usual fare. and mostly short tracks, so a lot of different things.  I didn’t try to avoid the big hits this time, they are too much a part of his music.  We covered most of the hits anyway, some in the pre and postshow sets, and some of his less well known stuff.  Covering a sixty year career and twenty-one albums, we went through the highs and lows and hit the highlights too.

The Rick Beato podcast I mentioned is linked below

Gordon Lightfoot

Well, Mr. Lightfoot passed away a few weeks ago, and we looked back and found to our surprise that we had so far not made a show about him, so this week we will correct this severe oversight and present the work of Gordon Lightfoot.
