When he’s an opener, he plays a shorter “greatest hits” set (about 35–45 minutes). Expect something very close to:
April 191942 – Alan Price — AliveKeyboardist and founding member of The Animals, known for shaping the British Invasion organ-driven rock sound. April 211947 – Iggy Pop — AliveFrontman of The Stooges, a foundational figure in punk and proto-punk. 1959 – Robert Smith — AliveFrontman of The Cure, highly influential in post-punk and alternative rock. April 221950 – Peter Frampton — AliveGuitarist and singer known for his breakout live classic […]
Loverboy came out of Canada like a leather-jacket-wearing punch to the face in the early 1980s. Big hair, bigger hooks and a whole lot of synthesizer-fueled attitude. Led by Mike Reno and Paul Dean, they weren’t here to change the world, they were here to make sure your mall had a soundtrack and frankly, they […]
7. Indelibly Stamped — the rough early stumble from Supertramp. A record still figuring itself out. Loud, uneven, more curiosity than classic and with fans defending it mainly for history. Collectors still debate its value and though most agree, it shows the band learning their craft. 6. Famous Last Words — the farewell from Supertramp, where energy fades […]
Pink Floyd fans, listen up—this is the kind of release that makes you feel 25 again. Live From The Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975 is coming back in style and not some cheap knockoff either. Sony Music is rolling out a gorgeous four-LP clear vinyl edition exclusively for Record Store Day on April […]
5. Fly Like an EagleYeah, yeah, I know, you thought this would be number one. Relax. It’s great, it’s smooth, it’s got that spacey groove that made every guy in the ‘70s think he was deep because he owned a lava lamp. “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Take the Money and Run”, fantastic. But let’s be […]
I’m gonna tell you about this Aerosmith rerelease and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. So, here we got Aerosmith, a bunch of guys who’ve been around longer than your uncle’s bad cholesterol, putting their classic material back out into the world. You might say, “Hey, what’s the big deal? We already heard this stuff!” Yeah, […]
That’s a great riff on a genuinely pivotal moment in alternative rock and yeah, it still feels a little wild that a mandolin-led track cracked the mainstream the way it did. When R.E.M. released Out of Time in 1991, Losing My Religion really did sound like it came from a different universe than what dominated […]
After being booted from the Eagles, Don Felder rebuilt his music career, proving resilience in the face of industry challenges.
Alright, alright, look who’s back from the “we swear we’re done this time” department. Deep Purple just announced a full North American tour, and yeah, they’re dragging along Kansas and Jefferson Starship like it’s a classic rock family reunion nobody had the heart to cancel. Now didn’t these guys say they were retiring? Please. In […]
