Crowded House (of Blues) was the scene in Dallas back in August 2010 for this impeccable performance and live recording of "Four Seasons in One Day" by the terrific New Zealand quartet.

John Mellencamp- Get a Leg Up- garage 12-91

Before arenas and stadiums, even the most popular bands in history started in someone's garage, carport, or basement. Some of today's biggest Hall of Famers, such as John Mellencamp and his excellent band, still rehearse there, as I found out one snowy Christmas season in 1991. "Get a Leg Up" comes straight off the garage floor, no overdubs.

David Gilmour- Sorrow- Rome 2024

When David Gilmour staged a performance in the ancient Circus Maximus of Rome in 2024, this rendition of "Sorrow" originally on 1987's Pink Floyd comeback "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" certainly met the moment.

Boston- To Be a Man- Worcester 8-87

It had been such a "long time", almost seven years, since the band Boston had released a new album and toured, that when Tom Scholz, Brad Delp and Boston (band) returned to the concert stage in Summer 1987, t was international news. It also was a terrifying re-entry to live performance for the shy, soft-spoken lead singer Delp...

Bryan Adams- Hey Honey I’m Packin’ You In- Vancouver 3-92

This is Bryan Adams and band live straight off the floor on "Hey Honey, I'm Packin' You In", no overdubs, during the In the Studio live North American broadcast from Vancouver's Little Mountain Studio in March 1992.

Huey Lewis and the News- Working for a Living- Hartford 8-25-84

In late August 1984 Huey Lewis and the News thrilled an appreciative Hartford CT audience, accompanied by a Southern New England favorite, the Tower of Power horn section. As the concert was just before Labor Day weekend, Huey and boys were "workin' it" overtime on this tight performance of "Working for a Living".

In the Studio  for the 55th anniversary of The Who's magnificent masterpiece "Who's Next" this weekend, we share an ultra-rare performance of one of the more under-exposed chestnuts from it, "Love Ain't for Keeping".

The Pretenders- The Adultress/Message of Love- Santa Monica 9-4-81

Apparently sitting in a tape vault for forty-five years, this performance of "The Adultress" into "Message of Love" from the original Pretenders lineup at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium was worth the wait.
