Elton John- Philadelphia Freedom- Foxborough Stadium 9-6-93

Elton John himself confirms here that indeed he and lyricist Bernie Taupin did compose “Philadelphia Freedom” not in 1975 for the US bicentennial the following year, as has been erroneously mythologized for decades, but in fact 1973, twenty years before this spectacular live performance outside Boston during the Walden Woods Benefit at Foxborough Stadium Labor […]

Lynyrd Skynyrd- One More from the Road 50th- the late Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson 9-6

A product less of inspiration and more of desperation, nevertheless Lynyrd Skynyrd’s stop-gap double live album fifty years ago One More from the Road served as a career lifeboat for the road-weary Southern Rock rowdies, while selling surprisingly three million copies in the US.

Steve Winwood- Back in the High Life 40th Anniversary

“Higher Love”, the #1 seller and winner of both the “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year” Grammys for 1986, isn’t about doing it in the top bunk.

Here In the Studio is the story in their own words of progressive rock’s first supergroup.
