Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band- Live Bullet 50th Anniversary

"It took me twelve years to make that album Live Bullet ," Bob Seger  solemnly emphasizes to me in this classic rock interview from Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in April 1976.

Moody Blues- Long Distance Voyager 45th Anniversary- Justin Hayward, the late John Lodge

After scoring a worldwide #1 seller with "Seventh Sojourn" in 1972, then spending the next two years mounting the largest concert tour in history at the time, the Moody Blues as a collective baffled everyone by taking practically the rest of the Seventies off. To fill in the missing piece of the puzzle, as well as mark the forty-fifth anniversary of their #1 selling album "Long Distance Voyager", Moody Blues lifers Justin Hayward and the late John Lodge are my guests here In the Studio.

Rush- 2112- 50th Anniversary- Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson

"2112"  by Rush was an amalgam of hard rock, progressive rock, science-fiction and Ayn Rand socio-economics right about the same time that The Ramones, The Dead Boys, and Ian Dury and the Blockheads were singing "Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll". So things were about to get interesting in 1976. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush join me here In the Studio on "2112" golden anniversary.

Rush- 2112- Dallas 2012

U2's "Until the End of the World", it is imperative that the listener understand that the singers' (plural) perspectives change every time the stanzas do. The singer in the first stanza is Jesus Christ; the singer in the second stanza is Judas; and in the final stanza, it's you and me.

Pink Floyd- Division Bell World Premiere- Miami 3-30-94

One thing is incontrovertible about Pink Floyd: their collective creative imagination has always innovated, and usually in a very big way. Such was Pink Floyd's decision to debut their Division Bell album, seven years in the making, live on…

Procol Harum- Best- Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher, Robin Trower

“Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" from the eclectic British band Procol Harum, which has the distinction of placing two of the most unlikely songs at the top of the singles chart five years apart with "Whiter Shade of Pale" in 1967 and "Conquistador" in 1972. My ultra-rare interview features organist Matthew Fisher, lyricist the late Keith Reid, guitarist on the first three studio albums, Robin Trower, and the late singer/pianist Gary Brooker.

Led Zeppelin- Presence 50th Anniversary- Jimmy Page

The recorded performances of "Achilles' Last Stand", "Nobody's Fault but Mine", and "For Your Life" from Led Zeppelin "Presence" were so realistic as to be almost palpable, about which the sonic slam startles even now half a century later. Jimmy Page is my guest In the Studio.
