Proving to the whole world that day to be anything other than “Helpless”, Neil Young and a cast of a hundred thousand in Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium joined a similar group in London’s Wembley Stadium via satellite, and an estimated 1.4 billion viewing and listening worldwide, to raise money and awareness for starving residents of Ethiopia, Sudan, and sub-Saharan Africa on July 13, 1985 for Live Aid 35th anniversary.
Keyboardist Gary Wright, who chose a bold pioneering effort which had never been attempted before then, with spectacular results and the million-selling hit “Dream Weaver”. Join the late Gary Wright here in a very rare In the Studio classic rock interview on the 50th anniversary of “The Dream Weaver”.
with 100,000 people for Live Aid US, I stood back of center stage about ten feet behind Phil Collins who was seated at a black grand piano. Beside me looking over his 3″x 5″ recipe cards with notes for stage announcements stood Jack Nicholson. Collins, fresh off the Concorde supersonic jet which had conveyed him from his earlier performance at the London Live Aid concert, sang his surprise movie hit “Against All Odds” and then “the other song I know on piano”…In the Air Tonight.
Fleetwood Mac “Fleetwood Mac” in July 1975 sold over twenty times more than any previous Fleetwood Mac album. Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and Mick Fleetwood are In the Studio for their “White Album” golden anniversary.
Queen always was one of those top-tier bands who could really sing and play their highly arranged material live, and here is ample proof of that fact in a rare live-in-studio performance of “Spread Your Wings” from Autumn 1977, broadcast on BBC Radio from London’s Maida Vale Studio.
Free “Fire and Water” 55th anniversary In the Studio with Paul Rodgers.
David Bowie chalked up the enthusiastic reception to “Earthling”, a #6 seller in the UK, to his chemistry with his live band. Bowie went on to share a delightful, enthusiastic conversation about Bowie’s twenty-first (!!!) album, “Earthling”, a worldwide million seller for the former “Starchild” and Man Who Fell to Earth.
Two of my all-time faves remain the cinderella story beginnings of Heart in 1976 with “Dreamboat Annie” and the “comeback” album almost a decade later, “Heart”. This hit machine in 1985 reinvented Heart for the MTV Eighties with “If Looks Could Kill”,”What About Love”,”Never”,”These Dreams”, and “Nothing at All”. Wow. Nancy Wilson and singing sistuh Ann Wilson join me here In the Studio on the fortieth anniversary of “Heart” (’85).
In an alternate universe where being boring and predictable is the Original Sin, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue would be sanctified saints, because they have been waging jihad against the tyranny of the mainstream for a full four decades. Peaking at #2 on Billboard Album Sales chart, “Girls, Girls, Girls” would eventually equal their preceding mega-seller “Theatre of Pain” with another four million copies sold. The always eyebrow-raising Nikki Sixx and hilarious Vince Neil are my guests In the Studio.
“I think that Talking Heads were one of the first groups who tried not to be about a fantasy that was bigger than life, but tried to be about being strong within a life that was ultimately real.”- Jerry Harrison, In the Studio with Mr “American Utopia”, David Byrne, for Talking Heads “Little Creatures” 40th anniversary.
