Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms- Mark Knopfler

Few albums from the Eighties have been so popular or aged as well as "Brothers in Arms", the fifth studio album from London's Dire Straits. Released in May 1985, Brothers in Arms contained the songs of Mark Knopfler performed expertly and produced impeccably, which proved irresistible to an international buying audience estimated at over thirty million. Dire Straits bandleader Mark Knopfler tries to explain the phenomenon of "Brothers in Arms"  and modern super-celebrity here In the Studio in this classic rock interview. "I recommend success to anybody. I can't think of anything good about fame. If you can, let me know."

James Taylor- Mud Slide Slim @55

James Taylor is still recording wonderfully satisfying albums like "American Standard", and being chosen to open brand new live music venues, fifty-five years after the album "Sweet Baby James" captured the country's attention. Now that’s finding the keys to a real time machine. James Taylor joins me In the Studio.

Pink Floyd- The Wall- Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason

Roger Waters admitted to me that, in 1980, Pink Floyd had been guaranteed one million dollars per night to perform "The Wall" on a stadium tour. "And I refused to do it outdoors," Waters tells me in this classic rock interview. "But how can you do a show, that's about the alienation you feel about doing stadium shows, in a stadium?"

Van Halen II- Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony, the late Eddie Van Halen

Van Halen's  1978 debut probably guaranteed their election to the Rock 'n'Roll Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Six years later they even topped that with "1984". Every one of the four Van Halen albums in between, "II" released in March 1979, " Women and Children First", "Fair Warning",  and "Diver Down"  would all sell a million-plus and chart Top 6 on Billboard  album sales. The late Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, & original bass player/background singer Michael Anthony join me In the Studio.
