Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- Into the Great Wide Open 35th

July 1991's "Into the Great Wide Open", Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' first post-Traveling Wilburys/"Full Moon Fever" effort with his own band. First, Tom turned forty. "I'll probably look back at this as some kind of mid-life crisis album," Petty chuckled, "and go,'God, I should've just lightened up ! Should've had a drink and forgot about it!' ,,.It's very hard living your life as we have in tour buses and airplanes for all of this time... And you do kind of realize that ,' Gee, twenty more and I'm outta here!' So you do take stock of that, you do."

Dave Matthews Band- Crash 30th Anniversary

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer- Tarkus @55

Listening now to the epic title song to "Tarkus", the second studio album in June1971 which followed quickly after their stunning 1970 debut, with Greg Lake's voice delicately yet nimbly bounding along to Keith Emerson's piano runs, it's clear that Emerson Lake and Palmer were much  less "Be Bop a Lula" in their melodic grandeur and much more "Andrew Lloyd Weber". Here In the Studio is the story in their own words of progressive rock's first supergroup.
