He intended to give the ring to his girlfriend Betty. When a police officer showed up, Dupree shot him dead. He then fled to Chicago where he killed another officer and wounded others.Authorities eventually apprehended Dupree while he was getting his mail. They shipped him back to Atlanta where he was executed on September 1, 1922.The song is the second track on the Grateful Dead's third album, Aoxomoxoa (1969). As with most of the songs on the album, Dead lyricist Robert Hunter wrote the words and Dead frontman Jerry Garcia wrote the music.Well when I get those jelly roll bluesThe term "jelly roll" was once common African American slang for a woman's genitalia. The great ragtime pianist Jelly Roll Morton took his name from that very meaning. In 1924, Morton recorded an influential jazz song titled "Jelly Roll Blues," which is most likely what Hunter is referencing here. Debuted in January, 1969 and played a total of 17 times that year. Then dropped until Oct 2, 1977 at the Paramount Theater in Portland, OR, played 4 times that year, this version being the last one of the year. Played twice in 1978, then put back on the shelf until Aug. 28, 1982 at the Oregon County Fair in Veneta, OR (home to the famous show from August 27, 1972 to support the Creamery). From '82 to '90 played at least once a year, '85 was the outlier with 16 performances Only played two more times, both in 1994. This is a great version with Jerry's lyrics and playing both very strong. The 8th song of the first set following:  GO TO ARCHIVE LINK A beautiful Bertha opening but I have featured that song so much, and it is such a common opener, that I needed to go with something else today.  I love it from the 1969 Fillmore West shows where two of the nights the second set would start with DuPree's into Mountains of the Moon before jumping into the fabulous Dark Star/St. Stephen/11/Lovelight suite (in my humble opinion, the best suite of songs ever played by the Dead and certainly the one that best defines the band and the basic foundation that supports so much of their music. Played:         82 timesFirst:              January 24, 1969 at Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, USALast:              October 13, 1994 at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA   SHOW No. 1:         Tuning (start of second set, stage banter re Jones Gang)                                    Track #10                                    :15 – End Why did Phil do this?  To kill time, he was dosed, adding a bit of levity to the evening's proceedings.  Or there is this:Two nights before the Dead played in Toronto at Seneca College's Field House.  The night before was at Cobo Hall in Detroit.  So they took the 3d off while traveling from Toronto to Hamilton, NY to play this show.  Apparently, the band could not or did not want to try to take their stash into Canada.  Keith Richards of the Stones had just been busted in Canada for possession and no one wanted to take any chances.  SO . . . . it seems they were “jonesing” from something, weed, acid, or whatever. Many of the Deadhead reports of the show in Archive and at the Dead Setlist Program note that the guys seemed very stoned or, more likely, dosed.  They were wearing sunglasses indoors in the evening. Good friend Henry was a student at Colgate in 1977 and attended the show.  In telling me about it, he basically began with the Jones Gang episode.  So it was cool to finally hear the show and hear Phil do his thing.  A great way to keep everybody entertained while waiting for some technical issues to be resolved.  And something that was sadly missing in their later years when basically none of them said anything while on stage, Bobby sporadically with a comment and Jerry I saw speak from the stage maybe 5 times out of 110 shows.  This is the kind of stuff that normalized them and separated them from the button down rock acts that showed up, played the same set list that they had played all tour and would keep playing  When they spoke it was all pre planned, “Thank you (insert name of city where they are playing). And then launched into a killer Samson (even though it was a Friday).  Just part of another great Dead experience and the kind of thing that makes it easy to remember the show even years later.  Everyone talks about the Jones Gang show, maybe more than they think of it as a Colgate show or Hamilton, NY show.  Sure took Henry back.  MUSIC NEWS:      Music Intro:                                    Cold Rain & Snow                                    Goose                                    10.25.2024                                    LJVM Coliseum                                    Winston-Salem, N.C.                                    Goose - “Cold Rain and Snow” (10/25/24 - LJVM Coliseum - Winston-Salem, NC) (youtube.com)                                    0:10 – 1:05 Another Phil tribute by one of the most promising Gen3 (Gen1 = Dead; Gen2=Phish) jam bands on the scene.  Not the first time they have covered the Dead, but it's a damn good cover of a tune that traces its Dead roots to their very first album and even before that.  Jerry loved it.  Phil made it happen and restarted his singing career on the closing chorus in 1982 at MSG.  And Goose nails it here.  They really bring it every time they play.  The jam band that I figure will outlast me! Mickey and Mike Gordon statements on Phil's passing: Quincy Jones dies: Quincy Delight Jones Jr. (March 14, 1933 – November 3, 2024 at 91) was an American record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer.[1] Over his course of his career he received several accolades including 28 Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Tony Award as well as nominations for seven Academy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards.[2] Jones came to prominence in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor before producing pop hit records for Lesley Gore in the early 1960s (including "It's My Party") and serving as an arranger and conductor for several collaborations between the jazz artists Frank Sinatra and Count Basie. Jones produced three of the most successful albums by pop star Michael Jackson: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), and Bad (1987). In 1985, Jones produced and conducted the charity song "We Are the World", which raised funds for victims of famine in Ethiopia.[3] Jones composed numerous films scores including for The Pawnbroker (1965), In the Heat of the Night (1967), In Cold Blood (1967), The Italian Job (1969), The Wiz (1978), and The Color Purple (1985). He won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series for the miniseries Roots (1977). He received a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical as a producer for the revival of The Color Purple (2016). Throughout career he was the recipient of numerous honorary awards including the Grammy Legend Award in 1992, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1995, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2001, the National Medal of the Arts in 2011, the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2014, and the Academy Honorary Award in 2024. He was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time.[1] "I woke up today to the Terrible news that we lost Quincy Jones.. Genius is a description loosely used but Rarely deserved. Point blank, Quincy was the MAN. I won my 1st Grammy with Quincy and I live with his Wisdom daily," Ice-T on X. Dave's Picks, Volume 52 (The Downs At Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM • 9/11/83)Time to order Dave's Picks 2025 subscription.  I say it every year.  SHOW No. 2:         Eyes of the World                                    Track #15                                    11:10 – END                                     INTO                                     Estimated Prophet                                    Track #16                                    Start - :20 The unique thing in this segment is that it is the first, and one of the only times, that the band played Eyes into Estimated as it was almost always played as Estimated>Eyes.  This is the end of Eyes jam and segue into Estimated.  Very cool to hear it played “backwards”.  This entire Eyes (all 13 minutes of it), is magnificent and a must hear if you are looking for some great Dead jamming to rock to.  On this night, the boys were apparently in a state of mind that let them do a bit of exploring away from the norm for them, if there even is a “Dead norm”.  It sure worked out well for the rest of us.  SHOW No. 3:         The Other One                                    Track #17                                    :52 – 3:00             We've featured this song so many times, discussed the whole That's It For The Other One suite and all of its subparts. This one is the opposite, a 4 minutes 20 seconds version, with the first 3+ minutes just a hard jam.  They only sing the first verse of the standard Other One and then head straight into Drums.  This clip just features the jam with Jerry leading the way.  So clean and powerful, if 1977 is the best year ever for the band, then this has to be one of its peaks.  Maybe not the best of '77 because Barton Hall, but still way up there for nights when the band was truly smoking hot and holding nothing back.  Some of the best post-1970 psychedelic Dead that you will ever hear.  Everyone in sync and making the magic that kept us all coming back for more until there was no more to come back to.  Just buckle in and enjoy the ride. Played:         550 timesFirst:  October 31, 1967 at Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA, USALast:  July 9, 1995 at Soldier Field, Chicago MJ NEWS:    SHOW No. 4:         Playin Reprise                                    Track #21                                    3:00 – 6:34 "Playing in the Band" is a song by the Grateful Dead. The lyrics were written by Robert Hunter and rhythm guitaristBob Weir composed the music, with some assistance from percussionist Mickey Hart.[1] The song first emerged in embryonic form on the self-titled 1971 live albumGrateful Dead. It then appeared in a more polished form on Ace, Bob Weir's first solo album (which included every Grateful Dead member except Ron "Pigpen" McKernan). During a Bob Weir and Wolf Bros concert livestream on February 12, 2021, Weir credited David Crosby with the composition of the main riff. Weir stated, "David Crosby came up with the seminal lick... and then he left. We were out at Mickey's barn. So Mickey said, 'Make a song out of that'. Next day, I had it".[ It has since become one of the best-known Grateful Dead numbers and a standard part of their repertoire. According to Deadbase X, it ranks fourth on the list of songs played most often in concert by the band with 581 performances. In the Grateful Dead's live repertoire, all songs featured musical improvisation and many featured extended instrumental solos; but certain key songs were used as starting points for serious collective musical improvisation—the entire band creating spontaneously all at once. In this regard "Playing in the Band" was of major importance, second only to "Dark Star". During "Playing in the Band" the Grateful Dead would play the planned verses and choruses of the song itself; then they would improvise and explore brand new musical territory, sometimes for twenty minutes or more; and then the chorus would usually be reprised, to bring the song to its end. Sometimes during these extended "jams", the band would even perform other entire songs, before at last coming back around to the final chorus aka the “Reprise”. On some occasions, more early on than later, the band would play the main song, jam for some amount of time and slide back in for the reprise.  Its performance in this style on 21 May 1974 at the Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle has been cited as the longest uninterrupted performance of a single song in the Grateful Dead's history, clocking in at 46 minutes and 32 seconds.[3][4] It was released in 2018 on the boxset Pacific Northwest '73–'74: The Complete Recordings and as its own LP.  Very cool – an entire album just for one song.  Like Phish' Ruby Waves at Alpine Valley in 2019 got its own album. Then later they might add a song or two in between the main portion and the reprise. Then later they might hold it for the encore the same night the main song had been performed. Then later, they might hold it until the night after the main song had been performed and then two nights later and sometimes 3.  Not uncommon for play the main song the first night of a multi-night run and then the reprise the last night.  Usually during the show, but as stated, sometimes in the encore. Then they might forget to ever get back to it, play the main song again and the whole process would repeat as everyone would wait to see if and when they would finally play the reprise. David Dodd:  To me, the unpredictability of a “Playin” jam was always a highlight of a show. It could get incredibly far out there—completely away from anything—and then, just like that, snap back in, quietly and cautiously or slam-bang, or later, after they'd played most of another song, or a whole set, into the “Playin Reprise.” Sometimes the reprise would never occur. While it usually ran 3 or 4 minutes, this show's reprise went almost 7 minutes with an extended jam before they every got to the reprise lyrics. For Phish fans, think Twe-pri.  For non Phish fans that's the song Tweezer and its “reprise” and that band takes all sorts of liberties with it.  Not so unlike the Dead's style as previously discussed but most famously, at least as far as I know as a still neophyte Phish head, during their 13 show Baker's Dozen run at MSG, Phish played Tweezer the very first night on July 21st to open the second set and then the Twi-Pri finally showed up on August 6th as the second song of the encore after On The Road Again to close out the entire 13 night run. Reprises are great! Played:  648 times (no separate breakdown for how may Reprises were played but I'm sure there were times they never got back to a reprise although one year April Fools 1985 at Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland MA – actually March 31st but called it their April Fools joke even though they did play again the next night, April 1, at the same venue - they played the reprise first and then the main song)First:  February 18, 1971 at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, USALast:  July 5, 1995 at the Riverport Amphitheater in Maryland Heights (St. Louis), MO  OUTRO                     Johnny B. Goode (Bob – “Happy Homecoming”)                                    Track #22                                    0:12 – 2:08 We've also featured this song quite a bit, a Chuck Berry classic covered by almost every rock n roll band that ever played a set of music and even some that never did.  Its guitar intro is as famous a song opening as any in the genre.  I love this version because of Bobby's greetings to the students wishing them a happy homecoming!  Imagine going to your high school or college homecoming dance and the band is the Grateful Dead.  Now that's a story to tell.  Not sure and I don't think it really matters whether that weekend was or was not Colgate's homecoming.  It just showed that stoned and all, Bobby knew he was on a college campus. Almost always played as an encore or show closer if no encore.  Unlike another Chuck Berry classic covered by the Dead, The Promised Land, which could be played as a show opener, set closer, second set opener, encore, it would pop up just about anywhere. Great way to end a great show.  The boys just blow the walls down on this one.  Or, as commenter RFKROX posted back in 2008 about this version, “Oh, and the Johnny B. Goode is the most incredible rockin' version I've ever heard this band play!! It's the fucking SHIT!!”  I couldn't have said it any better myself! Played:   283 timesFirst:  September 7, 1969 at Family Dog on the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA, USALast:  April 5, 1995 at Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum, Birmingham, AL, USA  - very interesting, not played at all on the final summer tour.  .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

Candyman and Cultural Contradictions: Grateful Dead's Egypt AdventureIn this episode of the Deadhead Cannabis Show, host Larry Mishkin highlights two key topics: a favorite Grateful Dead show and his recent experiences at Goose concerts. First, Larry talks about an iconic Grateful Dead concert that took place on September 16, 1978, at the Sun et Lumiere Theater in Giza, Egypt, near the pyramids and the Sphinx. This event is special not just for its unique location but also for featuring collaborations with Egyptian musician Hamza El Din, who joined the Dead for a jam session. The Egypt shows are remembered for their blend of American rock and ancient Egyptian culture, marking a historic moment in music history.Larry also reflects on the song "Candyman" by the Grateful Dead, exploring its themes of melancholy and contradiction within the counterculture of the 1960s. He discusses how the song portrays a sympathetic yet flawed character, and how it resonates with the complex dynamics of that era, blending elements of peace, revolution, and criminality.Switching gears, Larry shares his recent experiences attending two Goose concerts in Chicago. He highlights Goose's cover of Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights" and talks about the band's growing popularity. Larry attended the concerts with family and friends and praises the outdoor venue in Chicago, noting its impressive atmosphere and the city's skyline as a backdrop. He fondly recalls his connections to Bob Seger's music from his youth and marvels at how younger bands like Goose continue to bring classic rock into their performances.   Grateful DeadSeptember 16, 1978  (46 years ago)Son Et Lumiere Theater (aka Sphinx Theatre)Giza, EgyptGrateful Dead Live at Sphinx Theatre on 1978-09-16 : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive Giza (/ˈɡiːzə/; sometimes spelled Gizah, Gizeh, Geeza, Jiza; Arabic: الجيزة, romanized: al-Jīzah, pronounced [ald͡ʒiːzah], Egyptian Arabic: الجيزةel-Gīza[elˈgiːzæ])[3] is the third-largest city in Egypt by area after Cairo and Alexandria; and fourth-largest city in Africa by population after Kinshasa, Lagos, and Cairo. It is the capital of Giza Governorate with a total population of 4,872,448 in the 2017 census.[4] It is located on the west bank of the Nile opposite central Cairo, and is a part of the Greater Cairo metropolis. Giza lies less than 30 km (18.64 mi) north of Memphis (Men-nefer, today the village of Mit Rahina), which was the capital city of the unified Egyptian state during the reign of pharaoh Narmer, roughly 3100 BC. Giza is most famous as the location of the Giza Plateau, the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including a complex of ancient Egyptian royal mortuary and sacred structures, among which are the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples. Giza has always been a focal point in Egypt's history due to its location close to Memphis, the ancient pharaonic capital of the Old Kingdom. Son et lumière (French pronunciation: [sɔ̃n e lymjɛʁ] (French, lit. "sound and light")), or a sound and light show, is a form of nighttime entertainment that is usually presented in an outdoor venue of historic significance.[1] Special lighting effects are projected onto the façade of a building or ruin and synchronized with recorded or live narration and music to dramatize the history of the place.[1] The invention of the concept is credited to Paul Robert-Houdin, who was the curator of the Château de Chambord in France, which hosted the world's first son et lumière in 1952.[1] Another was established in the early 1960s at the site of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a star attraction in Egypt, the pyramids of Giza offer a completely different experience at night, when lasers, lights, and visual projections bring their history to life. Here's how to visit the pyramids after dark. The sound and light show at Giza takes place every night for 55 minutes by the Great Sphinx of king Kephren, it is a laser show with history narration of your own language.  Kyle FitzgeraldThe National Standing under a total lunar eclipse at the foot of ancient power by the Great Pyramid, the Grateful Dead were concluding the final show of their three-night run at the Sound and Light Theatre in Giza in 1978.His hair in pigtails, guitarist Jerry Garcia wove the outro of the percussive Nubian composition Olin Arageed into an extended opening of Fire on the Mountain. “There were Bedouins out on the desert dancing … It was amazing, it really was amazing,” Garcia said in a 1979 radio interview. The September 14-16 shows in Giza were the ultimate experiment for the American band – the first to play at the pyramids – known for pushing music beyond the realms of imagination. And just as the Grateful Dead were playing in the centre of ancient Egypt, a landmark peace treaty was being brokered in the US that would reshape geopolitics in the Middle East. For as the Grateful Dead arrived in Egypt as cultural ambassadors, on the other side of the world US president Jimmy Carter had gathered his Egyptian counterpart Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin to broker the Camp David Accords that led to an Egyptian-Israeli peace settlement. “No show that they have ever done has the international significance of their three performances in Egypt,” said Richard Loren, the Grateful Dead's manager from 1974-1981. “When we left the stage on the last show, everybody was high on acid, and the first news that came on: They signed the Camp David agreement. Sadat, Begin and Carter signed the agreement in Camp David. This happened during those three days.” Loren, who produced the shows, credited his friendship with Jefferson Airplane vocalist Marty Balin, who had a keen interest in Egypt, for developing his own fascination with the country. “The lead singer for Jefferson Airplane is the seed that resulted in the Grateful Dead playing in Egypt,” he said. Loren recalled riding a camel around the pyramid site during a three-week visit in 1975. To his right were the pyramids. In front of him, the Sphinx. “And I look down and I see a stage, and a light bulb went off in my head immediately. The Grateful Dead ought to play in Egypt,” he said. Loren, associate Alan Trist and Grateful Dead bass player Phil Lesh formed a scouting committee that would be responsible for liaising with American and Egyptian officials, Secret Service members and Egyptian first lady Jehan Sadat to allow the Grateful Dead to play in front of the pyramids. After the mission to the proposed site, meetings in Washington and Egypt, discussions with government officials and a party for the consulate, the band still needed to convince officials the purpose of the show was to make music – not money. And so the Dead paid their own expenses and offered to donate all the proceeds.Half would be donated to the Faith and Hope Society – the Sadats' favourite charity – and the other to Egypt's Department of Antiquities. “It was a sales pitch by the three of us – Alan, Richard and Phil,” Loren said. A telegram was sent on March 21, 1978, confirming the Grateful Dead would perform two open-air shows at the Sound and Light in front of the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. They would go on to play three shows. Describing the planning, bassist Phil Lesh said, "It sort of became my project because I was one of the first people in the band who was on the trip of playing at places of power. You know, power that's been preserved from the ancient world. The pyramids are like the obvious number one choice because no matter what anyone thinks they might be, there is definitely some kind of mojo about the pyramids."[11]Rather than ship all of the required sound reinforcement equipment from the United States, the PA and a 24-track, mobile studio recording truck were borrowed from the Who, in the UK. The Dead crew set up their gear at the open-air theater on the east side of the Great Sphinx, for three nights of concerts. The final two, September 15 & 16, 1978, are excerpted for the album. The band referred to their stage set-up as "The Gizah Sound and Light Theater". The final night's performance coincided with a total lunar eclipse. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann played with a cast, having broken his wrist while horseback riding. The King's Chamber of the nearby Great Pyramid of Giza was rigged with a speaker and microphone in a failed attempt to live-mix acoustical echo.[12] Lesh recalled that through the shows he observed "an increasing number of shadowy figures gathering just at the edge of the illuminated area surrounding the stage and audience – not locals, as they all seem to be wearing the same garment, a dark, hooded robe. These, it turns out, are the Bedouin, the nomadic horsemen of the desert: drawn in by the music and lights... each night they have remained to dance and sway rhythmically for the duration of the show."[13] Kreutzmann recalls "Egypt instantly became the biggest, baddest, and most legendary field trip that we took during our entire thirty years as a band... It was priceless and perfect and, at half a million dollars, a bargain in the end. Albeit, a very expensive bargain."[14] The concerts weren't expected to be profitable (proceeds were donated to the Department of Antiquities and a charity chosen by Jehan Sadat). Costs were to be offset by the production of a triple-live album; however, performances did not turn out as proficient as planned, musically, and technical problems plagued the recordings.[10] The results were shelved as the band focused instead on a new studio album, Shakedown Street.   INTRO:                     Candyman                                    Track #3                                    2:54 – 4:50 From Songfacts:  the American Beauty album is infused with sadness. Jerry Garcia's mother was still seriously injured and her still fate uncertain following an automotive accident, while Phil Lesh was still grieving his father's passing. The melancholic aura comes through in "Candyman" as much as any other song on the album.The effect of the melodic sadness on the song's context is interesting, to say the least. It makes everything about the candyman character in the song seem sympathetic, when the lyrics suggest that he is anything but. Dead lyricist Robert Hunter said he certainly didn't resonate with the character's penchant for violence (more on that below).The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang defines the term "candyman" primarily as a drug dealer and secondarily as a man who is lucky in general and lucky with women in particular. The latter version seems to fit better with the song, as the character announces his arrival to all the women in town and tells them they ought to open their windows (presumably to let him in). While there's no evidence to suggest that Hunter was getting at anything too deep with the song, "Candyman" does provide an interesting perspective on the contradictions of the 1960s counterculture. Mixed in with all the peaceniks and flowers were hard-drug pushers, violent revolutionaries, and common criminals. By 1970, this stew had long since become so mixed-up that its attendant parts could no longer be cleanly extracted from each other. The fact that American Beauty came out in the midst of the Manson Family "hippie cult killings" trial says just about all that needs to be said about the complicated reality that had arisen out of the 1960s counterculture.Beyond all that, though, the outlaw song that romanticizes criminality is a long-held and cherished tradition in American music. With American Beauty, Jerry Garcia wanted the Dead to do something like "California country western," where they focused more on the singing than on the instrumentation.  So the sang Hunter's lyrics: Good mornin', Mr. BensonI see you're doin' wellIf I had me a shotgunI'd blow you straight to HellThis is an oddly violent line for a song by the Grateful Dead, who sought to embody the '60s peace-and-love ethos about as sincerely and stubbornly as any act to come out of the era. It always got a raucous applause from the audience, too, which seems equally incongruous with the Deadhead culture.Hunter was bothered by the cheers. In an interview published in Goin' Down the Road by Blair Jackson (p. 119), he brings this phenomenon up when asked if any of his songs has been widely misinterpreted. He mentions that he had first witnessed an audience's enthusiastic response to violence while watching the 1975 dystopian film Rollerball and "couldn't believe" the cheers.Hunter tells Jackson that he hopes fans know that the perspective in "Candyman" is from a character and not from himself. He stresses the same separation between himself and the womanizer in "Jack Straw." As far as the Mr. Benson in "Candyman," David Dodd in the Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics makes a great case for that being Sheriff Benson from Leadbelly's "Midnight Special" (who may very well have been based on a real sheriff). If true, this might place "Candyman" in Houston, Texas (though Hunter might not have had anything so specific in mind). Almost always a first set song.  Often featured in acoustic sets, back in the day. This version features this awesome Garcia solo that we were listing to.  Maybe he was inspired by the pyramids or whatever magical spirits might have come out from within to see this American band the Grateful Dead.  Hopefully, it made those spirits grateful themselves. Played:  273First:  April 3, 1970 at Armory Fieldhouse, Cincinnati, OH, USALast:  June 30, 1995 at Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA, USA  SHOW No. 1:         Hamza El Din                                    Track #10                                    7:30 – 9:00 Hamza El Din (Arabicحمزة علاء الدين) (July 10, 1929 – May 22, 2006) was an Egyptian Nubian composer, oudplayer, tar player, and vocalist. He was born in southern Egypt and was an internationally known musician of his native region Nubia, situated on both sides of the Egypt–Sudan border. After musical studies in Cairo, he lived and studied in Italy, Japan and the United States. El Din collaborated with a wide variety of musical performers, including Sandy Bull, the Kronos Quartet and the Grateful Dead. His performances attracted the attention of the Grateful Dead, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan in the 1960s, which led to a recording contract and to his eventual emigration to the United States. In 1963, El Din shared an apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area with folk musician Sandy Bull. Following his appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964, he recorded two albums for Vanguard Records, released 1964–65. His 1971 recording Escalay: The Water Wheel, published by Nonesuch Records and produced by Mickey Hart, has been recognized as one of the first world music recordings to gain wide release in the West, and was claimed as an influence by some American minimalist composers, such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley, as well as by Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart.[1] He also performed with the Grateful Dead, most famously during their Egypt concerts of 1978. During these three shows, Hamza El Din, performed as a guest and played his composition "Ollin Arageed" He was backed by the students of his Abu Simbel school and accompanied by the Grateful Dead.  After Egypt, hamza el din played with the dead in the U.S. On October 21st, back in 1978, the Grateful Dead were in the midst of wrapping up a fiery five-night run at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. This string of shows was particularly special for the band, as they marked the first shows played by the Dead following their now-legendary performances near the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt a month prior. n an effort to bring their experiences in Northern Africa home with them to share with their fans, the Dead's '78 Winterland run saw sit-ins by Egyptian percussionist, singer, and oud player Hamza El Din. On October 21st, El Din opened the show solo, offering his divine percussion before the Grateful Dead slowly emerged to join him for an ecstatic rendition of “Ollin Arageed”, a number based off a Nubian wedding tune, before embarking on a soaring half-acoustic, half-electric jam, that we will get to on the other side of Music News: MUSIC NEWS: Lead in music:                  Goose — "Hollywood Nights" (Bob Seger) — Fiddler's Green — 6/8/24 (youtube.com)                  0:00 – 1:10             Goose covering Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band's Hollywood Nights, this version from earlier this year but Goose did play it Friday night in Chicago at the Salt Shed's Festival stage outside along the Chicago river with the Skyline in the background. Very impressive. "Hollywood Nights" is a song written and recorded by American rock artist Bob Seger. It was released in 1978 as the second single from his album, Stranger in Town. Seger said "The chorus just came into my head; I was driving around in the Hollywood Hills, and I started singing 'Hollywood nights/Hollywood hills/Above all the lights/Hollywood nights.' I went back to my rented house, and there was a Time with Cheryl Tiegs on the cover...I said 'Let's write a song about a guy from the Midwest who runs into someone like this and gets caught up in the whole bizarro thing.'" [1] Seger also said that "Hollywood Nights" was the closest he has had to a song coming to him in a dream, similar to how Keith Richards described the riff to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" coming to him in a dream. Robert Clark Seger (/ˈsiːɡər/SEE-gər; born May 6, 1945) is a retired American singer, songwriter, and musician. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded with the groups Bob Seger and the Last Heard and the Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s, In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet (1976), recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger's best-selling singles and albums. A roots rock musician with a classic raspy, powerful voice, Seger is known for his songs concerning love, women, and blue-collar themes, and is one of the best-known artists of the heartland rock genre. He has recorded many hits, including "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "Mainstreet", "Still the Same", "Hollywood Nights", "Against the Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame on the Moon", "Roll Me Away", "Like a Rock", and "Shakedown", the last of which was written for the 1987 film Beverly Hills Cop II and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also co-wrote the Eagles' number-one hit "Heartache Tonight", and his recording of "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. Which leads us to: Goose plays three nights in Chicago: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night at the Salt Shed.  I caught the Thursday and Friday show.  Went with my wife on Thursday and hung out with good friends John and Marnie, her brothers Rick and Joel, Stephan and others.  Friday with my son Daniel and good buddy Kevin who got us rock star parking and even more impressively killer seats dead center at the bottom of the grandstands in the back of the floor, a few feet off the floor and dead center so we could see everything, hear everything and have a place to sit and rest for a few minutes when needed. I have to say, I've now seen Goose five times and enjoy them more and more.  Great musical jams, great light show, lots of good energy from the band and the fans.  Rick Mitoratando is a first class guitartist and singer, Peter Anspach on keyboard and guitar and vocals, Jeff Arevalo, percussionist, Trevor Weekz on bass and newcomer, Cotter Ellis on drums, replacing original drummer, Ben Askind. Began playing in 2014 in Wilton Connecticut so this is their 10 year and they are just getting stronger.  They really love what they do and its shows in their live performances. Great set lists in Chicago: Thursday night they were joined on stage by Julian Lage, a jazz composer and guitarist for the last two songs of the first set, A Western Sun and Turned Clouds. If you have not yet seen Goose you need to see Goose.  Soon.  Jane's Addiction Concert Ends Abruptly After Perry Farrell Punches Dave Navarro Onstage 3.     Jane's Addiction Offer ‘Heartfelt Apology' for Fight, Cancel Sunday's Show Phish announce 3 night run in Albany Oct. 25 – 27 to benefit Divided Sky Foundation A residential program for people recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. The Divided Sky Foundation, a 46-bed nonprofit recovery center spearheaded by Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, will be an abstinence-based, nonmedical residence, one of the first ofits kind in Vermont. The Divided Sky Foundation is a charitable nonprofit founded by Anastasio; it purchased the Ludlow location to create a substance-use disorder treatment center back in 2021.  Anastasio, Phish's lead guitarist and vocalist, has dealt publicly with his own drug and alcohol use and later sobriety, a journey that brought him under the supervision of drug court in Washington County, New York, in the mid-2000s. There, he met Gulde, who worked in the court system at the time, and the two have stayed friends since.  Together, Gulde and Anastasio used their personal experiences with treatment facilities to implement a vision for the Ludlow space, she said.   Very cool organization, deserves everyone's support.  Trey turned it around which is why he is now 5 years older than Jerry was when he died in 1995 and Trey and Phish are just getting stronger and stronger. SHOW No. 2:         Ollin Arageed                                    Track #11                                    13:10 – 14:42 Musical composition written by Hamza El-Din.  He and members of the Abu Simbel School of Luxor choir opened the shows with his composition Olin Arageed on nights one and two, and opened set two of night three with the song as well.  Joined on stage by the band.  Fun, different and a shout out to the locals. The Dead played it a few more times with Hamza and then retired it for good.  SHOW No. 3:         Fire On The Mountain                                    Track #12                                    13:00 – end                                     INTO                                     Iko Iko                                    Track #13                                    0:00 – 1:37 This transition is one of my all time Dead favorites.  Out of a stand alone Fire (no Scarlet lead in) into a sublime and spacey Iko Iko.  Another perfect combination for the pyramids, sphinx and full lunar eclipse.A great reason to listen to this show and these two tunes. MJ NEWS: MJ Lead in Song            Still Blazin by Wiz Khalifa:  Still Blazin (feat.

One is that it is about Rolling Thunder, the Indian Shaman, conducting a ceremony (which certainly fits with many of the lyrics). The other is that it was written by Donna in memory of Rex Jackson, one of the Grateful Dead's crew (after whom the Rex Foundation is named). The song is about a Native American medicine man named Rolling Thunder, who spent a lot of time with the Dead."'Sunrise' is about sunrise services we attended and what Rolling Thunder would do," Godchaux said on the Songfacts Podcast. "It's very literal actually. Rolling Thunder would conduct a sunrise service, so that's how that came about."Donna Jean Godchaux wrote this song on piano after Jerry Garcia asked her to write a song for the Terrapin Station album. She said it just flowed out of her - music and lyrics - and was one of the easiest songs she ever wrote.The drumming at the end of the song was played by a real medicine man. "We cut it in Los Angeles, and he came and brought the medicine drum, so what you hear on the end is the real deal," Godchaux told Songfacts. "It was like a sanctuary in that studio when he was playing that. It was very heavy." It was played regularly by the Grateful Dead in 1977 and 1978 (Donna left the band in early 1979).This version is the last time the band ever played it. Played:  30 timesFirst:  May 1, 1977 at The Palladium, New York, NY, USALast:  September 16, 1978 at the Pyramids, Giza Egypt                                   OUTRO:                   Shakedown Street                                    Track #17                                    3:07 – 4:35                                   Title track from Shakedown Street album November 8, 1978 One of Jerry's best numbers.  A great tune that can open a show, open the second set, occasionally played as an encore, but not here.  It is dropped into the middle of the second set as the lead in to Drums.  This is only the second time the song is played by the band. Played:  164 timesFirst:  August 31, 1978 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO, USALast:  July 9, 1995 at Soldier Field, Chicago, IL – opened the second set, the final set of music ever performed by the band.  Shout outs:             Karen Shmerling's birthday                       This week my beautiful granddaughter, Ruby, is coming to town to visit.  Can't wait to see her and her parents.  .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

Armored Saint singer John Bush and bass player Joey Vera, who are currently out on tour with Queensryche. They'll be coming through Detroit to play the Majestic Theater on April 14th. Joey said of touring with the QR guys, "It's always fun touring with friends, people you get along with." We talked about their experience on the Monsters Of Rock Cruise. "Yeah, they're fun. You always see a lot of people you know." Joey said. The guys told me about going to Anthrax's Scott Ian's 60th birthday in Las Angeles at the end of 2023. John said there were some really talented people there celebrating the milestone. The band recently recorded a cover of "One Chain Don't Make No Prison" which they're going to release as a stand-alone single. That being said, the guys are all about making full albums. They talked about album reissues, as well as vinyl copies of all their albums. I had to ask them about the new Armored Saint music they're working on. As far as writing on the road, Joey said they don't do it. "We just write at our own pace." He went on to say they have six or seven songs demoed. They'll be touring and then returning to the studio to finish it up by the end of the year. Something I didn't know about Armored Saint was that their first show outside of hometown shows was at Harpos. They said they played a radio station show way back in 1984. "That was our first show ever outside of California," Joey said. John talked of that show being added last minute, as they were supposed to play Chicago first. They also played Cobo Hall on that first tour. "We just couldn't believe what was happening," Joey said of playing some of these classic venues. Joey told the story of crashing a car with Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. We also talked about their tour with W.A.S.P. and Metallica, where they were snowed-in, in Buffalo, New York. Joey also told a funny story from early in their career about a comment he made about Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. on the radio. Great to talk to the guys!

Slaughter comes to Smugglers Run in Wyandotte, Michigan this coming Saturday, but first, Mark Slaughter talked to me. It's been a while since Mark's been on Talkin' Rock, so it was great to get him on to talk about everything they have going on.  He told me about the band, along with Dana Strum and Jeff "Blando" they're bringing drummer, Jordon Cannata. He's the young gun in he band as Mark explained. "What a great player! Young kid, he was born....on the day that our first record was put out." He talked about the many times Slaughter has played the Detroit area, including his first time through the Motor City with the Vinnie Vincent Invasion. "We did two nights with Alice Cooper, this is in 1986, where we opened up and played Hell Night and Halloween, opening for Alice Cooper." Those shows were at the legendary Cobo Hall.  He mentioned some possible new music coming down the pike. "It doesn't take us long to write the songs, it's just about getting us in the same room." We talked about drummer Blas Elias "Blas is and always will be a big part of the band." We talked about a possible upcoming bio-pic and what he's discovered that will be a part of that.  He talks about his life in Tennessee and why he's there. He told a crazy story about a trip to Lima, Peru earlier this year. That story is nuts! Oh, and bodyguards ripping seats out of rental cars...yeah, you read that right.  See you guys at the show this Saturday! -Meltdown https://www.slaughterusa.com/ https://wrif.com/podcasts/talkin-rock-with-meltdown/

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Journey es una banda de rock creada en 1973 en San Francisco, Estados Unidos, por el teclista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon, integrantes originales de Santana. De estilo rock progresivo en sus inicios, fue cambiando a un estilo más melódico con la incorporación del vocalista Steve Perry en 1978, quien con su voz convirtió a la banda en una de las más destacadas de los años 1980, con ventas de más de 75 millones de discos en todo el mundo convirtiéndolos en uno de los artistas más exitosos de todos los tiempos​ Journey alcanzó la cima del éxito en 1981 con el álbum Escape, que contenía canciones como «Open Arms», «Who's Crying Now» y «Don't Stop Believin'». Durante ese período, la banda lanzó una serie de canciones de éxito, incluyendo «Don't Stop Believin'» de 1981, el más vendido en la historia de iTunes​​​ Las raíces de Journey se encuentran en San Francisco, donde en 1971 el representante de Carlos Santana, Walter Herbie Herbert, decidió organizar una banda de músicos, originalmente llamada The Golden Gate Rhythm Section. Insatisfecho con la dirección musical que buscaba Santana, el teclista/vocalista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon dejaron la banda en 1972. Prairie Prince de The Tubes, el bajista Ross Valory de Frumious Bandersnatch, y el guitarrista rítmico George Tickner fueron añadidos al nuevo proyecto. Tras un infructuoso concurso radial que buscaba un nombre para el grupo, Jack Villanueva​ sugirió el nombre "Journey.".​ La primera aparición pública del grupo fue en Winterland en la víspera de año nuevo en 1973. Al día siguiente volaron a Hawái a tocar en el Crater Festival. A comienzos de 1973, Prairie Prince se reunió con su antiguo grupo, The Tubes, así que Herbert trajo a Aynsley Dunbar, un baterista que había tocado con John Lennon, Frank Zappa, John Mayall, Jeff Beck, Bonzo Dog Band, Mothers of Invention, Lou Reed, y David Bowie. El 5 de febrero de 1974, la nueva conformación del grupo debutó en el Great American Music Hall, asegurando un contrato con Columbia Records. Journey lanzó su álbum homónimo en 1975. Ese mismo año Journey invitó a Albert King a uno de sus conciertos. El disco mostraba el considerable talento de la banda para la música jazz-fusión y el rock progresivo. El guitarrista rítmico Tickner dejó la banda poco antes de la grabación del segundo álbum del grupo, Look into the Future (1976), el cual le bajó el tono al sonido progresivo del primer disco, pero retuvo su base de jazz-fusión. El siguiente disco, Next, intentó reducir la duración de sus canciones para apelar a una mayor audiencia, e incluyó a Neal Schon cantando varias de las canciones, pero aun así, el éxito comercial seguía eludiéndoles. Con las ventas mediocres de Next el grupo fue presionado por el estudio para cambiar de dirección y buscar un nuevo cantante. Como resultado, Journey trajo a Robert Fleischman. Nativo del sur de California, Fleischman había estado tocando con un grupo de Chicago cuando su representante, Barry Fey, lo trajo a Denver en 1977 para una entrevista con ejecutivos de un estudio. "Estaba nevando mucho y no sabíamos si los ejecutivos iban a lograr llegar a la reunión, pero luego aparecieron muchas personas de la Costa Oeste y de la Costa Este" recuerda Fleischman.​​ Él fue "descubierto" por un ejecutivo de la CBS en dicha reunión, y un par de semanas después, fue enviado a San Francisco para una audición con Journey. A Fleischman le fue notificado que la banda buscaba un estilo más popular, similar al de Foreigner o Boston, por lo que Fleischman supo que su vocalización inspirada por Robert Plant de Led Zeppelin sería un extra. Sin embargo, la potencia de la banda a la que él se intentaba unir, lo impresionó. En su primera sesión de estudio juntos, Fleishman señala, "Era como... tener fuegos artificiales en la bolsa de atrás. Ellos llevaban tanto tiempo tocando juntos, y lo hacían tan bien, que era grandioso tocar con gente así".​ Dichas sesiones produjeron el tema "For You," que luego aparecería en Time, y "Wheel in the Sky," que luego fue re-editada sin Fleischman para el disco Infinity. Fleischman salió de gira con la banda a inicios del año siguiente, pero su lugar en el grupo tenía las horas contadas. Mantuvo a su propio representante, Barry Fey, lo cual demostró ser una constante confrontación con el representante de Journey, Herbie Herbert. Adicionalmente, Herbert parecía no estar dispuesto a dejar que la nueva dirección de la banda saliera a relucir de inmediato, lo cual terminó en situaciones como que Fleischman tenía que agitar una pandereta mientras el resto del grupo seguía tocando sus canciones antiguas para su grupo de seguidores jazz-fusión. Fleischman también chocó con otros miembros del grupo debido a que, aparentemente, no era un escritor de canciones muy productivo.​ El representante Herbie Herbert había oído mencionar al cantante Steve Perry, quien había pasado recientemente por la ruptura de su grupo Alien Project. Tras oír una demo de Perry (que Jack Villanueva le había hecho llegar), Herbie supo que había que hacer un cambio. Tras un interesante entretiempo durante el que Perry fue presentado a la banda (se le dijo a Fleischman que Perry era el primo portugués de Villanueva), Fleischman fue despedido. Perry hizo su debut público con Journey en el Old Waldorf en San Francisco, el 28 de octubre de 1977. Perry conoció a Schon, y la pareja rápidamente escribió su primera canción, "Patiently", que aparecería en el disco Infinity de 1978. Perry aportó su voz de contratenor, limpia y poderosa, a canciones como "Lights," "Wheel in the Sky," y "Anytime." Además, el productor de Queen, Roy Thomas Baker (originalmente traído por Fleischman) ayudó a darle más capas al sonido de la banda. Los cambios funcionaron, y Journey saltó al estrellato. Infinity llegó al puesto Nº 21 en ventas de discos y le dio a Journey su primer disco de platino. Sin embargo, no todos los miembros del grupo estaban felices con la nueva dirección musical. En septiembre de 1978, el baterista Aynsley Dunbar fue despedido y reemplazado por Steve Smith,​​ quien había estudiado jazz en la prestigiosa escuela Berklee en Boston, Massachusetts. El siguiente álbum de la banda, Evolution produjo el primer sencillo Top 20 de Journey, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin.'" El álbum Departure (1980) extendió el ascenso del grupo, llegando al n.º 8 en ventas de discos. «Any Way You Want It» fue un éxito Top 25 con amplia difusión en la radio. Luego, Journey fue a Japón a grabar la banda sonora de la película Dream After Dream, a petición del director de dicho filme. En este punto, los conciertos en vivo eran llenados por fanáticos que favorecían la nueva dirección musical del grupo, con algunos celebrando a Perry como alguna vez se hizo con Elvis Presley (sin embargo, el grupo tocaba sus viejas canciones durante los descansos de Perry tras bambalinas). Journey estaba destinado al éxito en gran escala, y a inicios de 1981 lanzó un disco en vivo llamado Captured, grabado durante los conciertos de la gira Departure en 1980. Las primeras 5 canciones del disco fueron del concierto del 8 de agosto en el Fórum de Montreal (Quebec). Otras 2 fueron de conciertos en Tokio y el resto del Cobo Hall en Detroit. Exhausto de tanto salir de gira, Rolie dejó el grupo, siendo esta la segunda vez que abandonaba una banda exitosa en su carrera.​ Recomendó a Jonathan Cain de The Babys para que lo reemplazara.​ Como si pudiera predecir el ambiente musical de los 1980s, Cain favoreció el uso del sintetizador por encima del órgano Hammond de Rolie. El grupo sabía que se les estaba uniendo un gran teclista, pero ignoraban lo poderoso de las habilidades de Cain para escribir canciones. En 1981, el séptimo disco de estudio de Journey, Escape llegó al n.º 1 de las listas, y finalmente se convirtió en su disco más vendido y popular, siendo 9 veces disco de platino. Los sencillos «Who's Crying Now», «Don't Stop Believin'» y «Open Arms» llegaron al Top 10. El trabajado sonido de la banda, encabezada por el distintivo sonido (y pronto, ampliamente imitado) de Steve Perry, se convirtió en una presencia popular en la radio. El canal MTV grabó uno de sus dos conciertos a sala llena en Houston, Texas, el 6 de noviembre de 1981 en frente de más de 20.000 aficionados.​ En particular, «Don't Stop Believin'» mostraba lo bien logrado del rango de contratenor de Perry en conjunto con el piano de Cain y la dinámica guitarra de Schon. «Open Arms», que estuvo 6 semanas en el n.º 2 en las listas de popularidad, ayudaron a establecer a Journey como el estándar del rock de los años ochenta. Tal éxito le valió poco a Journey con los críticos de música. La Rolling Stone Record Guide de 1983 le dio a cada uno de sus discos solo una estrella, y el crítico Dave Marsh escribió que «Journey era un callejón sin salida para el rock de San Francisco... excesiva trivialidad... banalidad... una explotación de un acto cínico». Marsh luego añadió Escape como uno de los peores discos en llegar al n.º 1 en la historia. Con justicia o no, los críticos a menudo categorizaban a Journey con otros actos de rock corporativo como Foreigner, Asia y Survivor. Journey también fue uno de los primeros grupos en ser patrocinado por una empresa grande, Budweiser, al cual mencionaban en las portadas de sus discos. Esto contribuyó a su imagen negativa de rock corporativo, o más precisamente, rock patrocinado por empresas. El representante Herbie Herbert, sin embargo, comentó al respecto que «se debe sembrar mientras dure la primavera»[11] La banda claramente había cortado con sus raíces hippies de Haight-Ashbury. En 1982, la banda aportó la canción «Only Solutions» a la película Tron de Disney. Casualmente, ese mismo año Journey se volvió el primer grupo en inspirar un videojuego: el arcade Journey por Bally/Midway, y Journey Escape de Data Age, para el Atari 2600. El próximo disco de Journey, Frontiers (1983), continuó su éxito comercial. Llegó al n.º 2 de ventas, y produjo 4 sencillos exitosos, de los cuales «Faithfully» y «Separate Ways» llegaron a n.º 12 y 8, respectivamente. La presencia de Cain continuó siendo fuerte en este disco, tanto por ser cantautor (él solo escribió «Faithfully») como por su uso de sintetizadores. Había llegado la era de MTV, y la popularidad de Journey se incrementó por un vídeo musical de corte documental acerca de «Faithfully», que mostraba a varios miembros del grupo con sus familias de gira, y que ayudó a que la canción se ganara un lugar, junto con «Turn the Page» de Bob Seger y «The Load's Out» de Jackson Browne, como una canción favorita para conciertos. Las escenas del documental fueron rodadas en Estadio JFK en Filadelfia, Pensilvania, con más de 80.000 aficionados presentes.​ Poco tiempo después, la banda recibió una petición de un joven moribundo de 16 años llamado Kenny Sykaluk, quien luchaba contra la fibrosis quística. Kenny quería conocer a la banda. Journey honró el deseo de Kenny, y no sólo lo visitaron en su cama, sino que le obsequiaron un walkman con su último sencillo, «Only the Young». Kenny murió en menos de un día después. En el episodio de Behind the Music de Journey, Jonathan Cain lloró al recordar la visita a Kenny, mientras que Neal Schon dijo que dicha visita «cambió mi forma de ver la vida». El cantante Steve Perry recibió mucho del crédito por el éxito de Journey. En 1984, lanzó un disco como solista, Street Talk, el cual tuvo éxito y lanzó un sencillo popular, cuyo vídeo fue emitido en MTV, llamado «Oh Sherrie». Perry también grabó Don't Fight It (1982), con Kenny Loggins. El guitarrista Neal Schon produjo dos discos con Jan Hammer en 1981 y 1983, y en 1985 fue parte del proyecto Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve (junto a Sammy Hagar, Kenny Aaronson y Michael Shrieve). Tras el lanzamiento de su disco en solitario, Perry tomó el control de la dirección musical en estudio de la banda. Para decepción del representante Herbie Herbert, el bajista Ross Valory y el baterista Steve Smith fueron despedidos de la banda por diferencias musicales y profesionales, y en 1986 Journey lanzó su álbum Raised on Radio como un trío Perry, Schon, y Cain. Varios músicos de estudio llenaron las dos vacantes, entre ellos el ahora jurado de American Idol, Randy Jackson y el establecido músico de estudio Larrie Londin. La producción se detuvo constantemente, debido a la decadente salud de la madre de Perry, Mary Pereira. Al final, el álbum vendió dos millones de copias. Una truncada gira le siguió, presentando a Jackson en el bajo y a Mike Baird en la batería. Luego, Perry, exhausto de tantas giras, sufriendo por la reciente muerte de su madre (con quien tuvo una relación muy cercana) y el colapso de su relación de 6 años con Sherrie Swafford, dejó Journey en 1987, terminando el recorrido de la banda en la cima. A pesar de trabajar en un proyecto en solitario en 1989 titulado Against The Wall, el cual finalmente fue desechado, Steve Perry abandonó la industria musical por varios años antes de grabar «For the Love of Strange Medicine» en 1994 y lanzar un compilado de grandes éxitos en 1998. Neal Schon y Jonathan Cain hicieron equipo con los ex-Babys (la antigua banda de Cain), John Waite y Ricky Phillips, formando Bad English con el baterista Deen Castronovo en 1988. Además, cada uno grabó discos en solitario. Luego, Schon y Castronovo se unieron al grupo del cuñado de Schon, Hardline. Steve Smith se metió de lleno en su proyecto de jazz, Vital Information, el cual eventualmente llegó a desarrollar un grupo de fanáticos de tamaño respetable. En 1991, Ross Valory, Steve Smith, y Greg Rolie se unieron a The Storm con el cantante Kevin Chalfant y el guitarrista Josh Ramos. De 1987 a 1995, Journey observó cómo crecía la venta de sus discos. Lanzaron tres recopilatorios, los cuales lograron excelentes ventas. En 1993, Kevin Chalfant (de The Storm) tocó con los miembros de Journey en algunos conciertos, y Schon, Cain, Valory, Smith y Rolie consideraron brevemente una reunión bajo el nombre de Journey con Chalfant como cantante, pero al final tal proyecto no fructificó. Ese año, Steve Perry propuso volver a la banda bajo la condición de que se cambiara de representante. Herbie Herbert fue despedido y se eligió a Irving Azoff, y en 1995 Perry volvió una vez más a Journey. En 1995, la formación que tenía Journey en 1981 volvió a juntarse. Perry, Schon, Smith, Cain, y Valory volvieron al estudio y produjeron el famoso disco Trial by Fire en 1996, que incluye los éxitos «When You Love a Woman» y «Message of Love», nominado a un Grammy. Tras el éxito de Trial by Fire, los miembros de Journey se prepararon para una gira prometedora. La sensación causada en los medios y la emoción alrededor de volver a ver a la banda de gira fueron intensas, pero todo esto llegó a un abrupto final cuando Perry se lastimó la cadera en una caminata en Háwai. Perry probablemente iba a necesitar un reemplazo de cadera. A pesar de esto, le fue difícil tomar una decisión respecto a su estado de salud (pues le era imposible presentarse en el escenario sin someterse a dicha cirugía), pero en 1998 la banda lo presionó para que tomara una decisión. Cuando Perry rehusó a operarse, Cain y Schon decidieron continuar la banda sin él. El baterista Steve Smith decidió dejar la banda en esa misma época, para volver a Vital Information. En febrero de 2001, la banda participó en un episodio de Behind the Music en VH1, pero algunos comentarios hechos durante la grabación del programa contribuyeron a calentar los ánimos entre Perry y el resto de la banda. Ese mismo año, Herbie Herbert ofreció una entrevista en la que él daba su propia opinión acerca de la historia del grupo.[12] Luego, en 2003, Robert Fleischman comentó su propia participación en el grupo.[13] En 1998 Journey se vio buscando baterista y cantante. La plaza de baterista fue llenada por Deen Castronovo, compañero de Schon y Cain en Bad English, y que entonces tocaba con Hardline. El nuevo cantante fue Steve Augeri, anteriormente de Tyketto y Tall Stories. Augeri había abandonado el negocio de la música y trabajaba como gerente en una tienda de The Gap en Nueva York. Augeri recibió una llamada telefónica de Schon, quien había escuchado su demo. Schon lo invitó a audicionar para la banda y, a pesar de no haber cantado mucho en tiempos recientes, impresionó a los miembros de Journey lo suficiente como para obtener el trabajo. El parecido de Augeri con Perry, tanto visual, vocal, y hasta en su nombre, causó cierto revuelo entre los fanáticos más antiguos, ayudado por la popularidad de internet y sus foros. Algunos fanes rechazaron a un Journey sin Steve Perry. Otros se volvieron verdaderos fanes de Steve Augeri, culpando a Perry por la decaída popularidad de la banda. Pero la mayoría de los fanáticos dudaron del cambio y (tras oírlo en vivo o en disco) aceptaron a Steve Augeri. Además de su talento, esto tenía mucho que ver con la personalidad del nuevo cantante: era extremadamente amable y simpático con cada nuevo fanático que conocía. La nueva formación de Journey rápidamente volvió a trabajar, grabando una canción para la película Armageddon llamada «Remember Me». En 2001, lanzaron su siguiente disco de estudio, Arrival. El disco originalmente fue publicado en Japón a finales de 2000, pero debido a que algunas de las canciones del disco se filtraron y terminaron en internet con comentarios mayormente negativos de los fanes por su sonido de balada, Journey decidió demorar un poco el lanzamiento de dicho disco en Estados Unidos y añadir dos canciones más pesadas para la versión estadounidense. «All the Way», de dicho disco, se convirtió en un éxito menor. En 2003, la banda lanzó un CD con cuatro canciones titulado Red 13, cuyo diseño de portada fue escogido en un concurso de fanes. En 2005, la banda se embarcó en su gira de 30 aniversario, regalando copias promocionales de su último lanzamiento de estudio, Generations para ganadores seleccionados en cada concierto. Tales conciertos, que duraban tres horas, eran divididos en dos partes: la primera con material de la época de su mayor fama (algunas de esas canciones, tocadas en vivo por primera vez en décadas), mientras que la segunda parte comprendía Escape y otros. La reputación de Journey ante la crítica no mejoró al cabo del tiempo: la edición de 2004 del Rolling Stone Album Guide llama a Journey el «acto de karaoke perfecto», y no le da más de dos estrellas y media (de cinco posibles) a ninguno de sus discos. Varias bandas tributo de Journey se han formado por todo Estados Unidos, con distintos grados de éxito (usualmente en escala local), y el cantante Kevin Chalfant de The Storm ocasionalmente se juntaba con The Gregg Rolie Band para tocar algunos éxitos de Journey de la época 1978-1980. Aunque ha sido criticado como un grupo de orden corporativo, Journey ha retenido una masa de fanes fiel a lo largo de su carrera; su música aparece en programas de TV y películas. La radio a menudo toca sus éxitos, exponiendo su música a nuevas generaciones de oyentes. Journey ganó nuevas atenciones en la década del 2000, debido a que Randy Jackson, tras su participación con Journey, se convirtió en un ejecutivo musical muy exitoso, y luego en juez de American Idol. Vídeos de Jackson con la banda se han mostrado en el programa, y varios de los participantes han intentado cantar canciones de Journey. Los más recordados han sido Clay Aiken cantando «Open Arms» en una semifinal (y luego a dúo con Kelly Clarkson en una gira de conciertos), y Elliott Yamin, también con dicha canción, en la semifinal de 2006. Judy Torres lanzó una versión del sencillo «Faithfully» en 2005. La canción «Don't Stop Believin'» se convirtió en un himno de batalla de la Serie Mundial de 2004, donde los campeones Medias Rojas de Boston ganaron la serie tras ir abajo 3 juegos a 0 contra los Yankees en la serie de división de la Liga Americana y también en 2005, donde en el desfile de la victoria de los Chicago White Sox, Steve Perry fue invitado para que cantara con miembros del equipo. El 6 de febrero de 2005 «Don't Stop Believin'» salió en un anuncio de FedEx, en el que salía Burt Reynolds y que fue programado durante el Super Bowl XXXIX. En diciembre de 2005, «Don't Stop Believin'» llegó al n.º 13 en la lista Hot Digital Songs, y fue nominada para dos categorías en unos premios de VH1. En julio de 2007, la canción apareció en la escena final de la serie de HBO The Sopranos. Petra Haden lanzó un cover de la canción en septiembre de 2007. En 2003, Journey fue admitido al Salón de la Fama de la Música de San Francisco. A la ceremonia asistieron Gregg Rolie, Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith, Ross Valory, Neal Schon, Aynsley Dunbar, Deen Castronovo, y Steve Augeri. Dos años más tarde, el 21 de enero de 2005, Journey recibió una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood, y Steve Perry apareció de sorpresa en la ceremonia. Las relaciones con el resto del grupo mejoraron, pero Perry dijo que no había posibilidad de una reunión con su antigua banda en el futuro cercano. Diez miembros de Journey se juntaron ese día: Perry, Augeri, Cain, Castronovo, Dunbar, Fleischman, Schon, Smith, George Tickner, y Valory. En 2009, la serie Glee, del canal Fox, hace varias referencias a Journey en diferentes capítulos de la primera temporada, siendo Don't Stop Believin' la canción principal del primer capítulo de la serie. En la temporada final, se realiza un «Journey Medley». En julio de 2006, Steve Augeri comenzó a experimentar problemas con su voz y fue obligado a renunciar. Anunció que dejaría la banda por un tiempo debido a una infección en la garganta que requería que dejara descansar a sus cuerdas vocales.  La banda trajo a Jeff Scott Soto para sustituirlo. Además, Deen Castronovo, quien llevaba tiempo cantando los coros e incluso sustituyendo a Augeri como cantante, cantó en power ballads como «Faithfully» y «Open Arms». El 19 de diciembre de 2006 la banda emitió un comunicado en su página oficial, donde nombraban a Soto como vocalista permanente.​ Sin embargo, el 12 de junio de 2007, Journey anunció la salida de Soto.​ El breve periodo de Jeff Scott Soto como vocalista se parece al igualmente breve periodo de Robert Fleischman en la misma posición en 1977, de la cual salió la decisión de contratar a Steve Perry. Los fanes especulan​ que la banda persigue la misma cadena de sucesos que hace 30 años les dio resultado. En septiembre de 2007, empezaron a circular fotos del poco conocido cantante Arnel Pineda con Journey. En el sitio oficial de Journey se da el comunicado oficial que Arnel Pineda será el nuevo vocalista oficial. Pineda tocaba con el grupo The Zoo​ el cual se dedicaba a tocar versiones de varias bandas. Neal Schon lo encontró por YouTube. Se contactó con él y luego de una soberbia audición fue incorporado a la banda. Su primera presentación oficial con Journey se realizó el 21 de febrero del 2008 en el Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar en Chile con una transmisión televisiva en conjunto para 80 países y en vivo por señales locales, de cable y el afamado canal A&E. Pineda derrochó energía y logró cautivar a todo el público con su voz muy parecida a la de Steve Perry y su gran presencia escénica, rejuveneciendo a la banda y dejando en segundo plano su carácter de absoluto novato. Los periódicos y sitios de Internet de foros audiovisuales tipo YouTube se plagaron a los pocos minutos de sendos elogios para el nuevo vocalista y a su vez la prensa especializada nacional como extranjera alabó la presentación del grupo.​ Journey dio luego un concierto en el Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo de Santiago, Chile, el 23 de febrero del 2008 junto a Peter Frampton y Earth, Wind & Fire, constituyéndose Chile en la única parada que se realizaría en Sudamérica con un gran éxito. Su siguiente álbum, Revelation, debutó en el n.º 5 en las listas de Billboard, vendiendo más de 196.000 unidades en sus dos primeras semanas y manteniéndose en el top 20 durante 6 semanas.​Journey también encontró el éxito en las listas contemporáneas, donde el sencillo «After All These Years» pasó más de 23 semanas alcanzando el número 9.​ Los ingresos procedentes de la gira del 2008 la convirtieron en una de las más taquilleras del año, recaudando más de 35 millones de dólares.​ El 18 de diciembre de 2008, el álbum Revelation fue certificado disco de platino por la RIAA.​​ El segundo álbum de la banda con Pineda, Eclipse, fue lanzado el 24 de mayo de 2011, y debutó en el n.º 13 en el Billboard 200.​ En noviembre de 2011, Journey lanzó su segunda recopilación de grandes éxitos, titulada Journey: Greatest Hits: Volume 2, que incluye canciones escogidas por el exvocalista Steve Perry. Durante la gira del año 2015, el baterista Deen Castronovo fue reemplazado por el músico de sesión Omar Hakim.​ Luego la banda anunció que Steve Smith retornaría nuevamente a ocupar el puesto de baterista en Journey. 25 de Junio 2021 nuevo single de Journey «The Way We Used To Be» es la primera canción que se estrena con la formación actual de Journey, compuesta por el guitarrista Neal Schon, el cantante Arnel Pineda y el teclista Jonathan Cain junto con las últimas incorporaciones: el batería Narada Michael Walden, el bajista Randy Jackson y teclista y cantante Jason Derlatka. A lo largo de diferentes entrevistas, el guitarrista Neal Schon ha dado a entender que esta nueva entrega discográfica está bastante avanzada, y que con suerte verá la luz antes de que termine el presente ejercicio. “Ya tenemos como seis temas rockeros», comentaba Schon en una entrevista con Rock & Review de FOX17 a finales del pasado año, y añadía que publicaran unos tres singles antes de estrenar el álbum completo e iniciar su gira de presentación. 29 de Julio de 2021 Deen Castronovo vuelve a Journey El guitarrista de Journey, Neal Schon, ha confirmado en las redes sociales que el ex baterista Deen Castronovo se ha reincorporado a la banda. Schon confirmó el regreso de Castronovo en una serie de comentarios en Facebook debajo de una historia del San Francisco Chronicle sobre Journey, que compartió el miércoles. Un fan comentó en la publicación, «Entonces, ¿Deen Castronovo está de vuelta en la banda ahora a tiempo completo?» a lo que Schon respondió simplemente, «Sí». Respondiendo a otro fan que imploró a la banda que «traigan de vuelta a Deen de nuevo», escribió Schon, «Deen ha vuelto. Ahora somos dobles (2) bateristas con Narada [Michael Walden, que se unió a la banda en 2020]». Schon no reveló hasta qué punto Castronovo participará en los espectáculos de Journey inmediatos y futuros. El guitarrista insinuó del regreso de Castronovo el martes cuando tuiteó una foto que parecía ser de los ensayos del concierto del viernes por la noche de la banda en el Aragon Ballroom en Chicago, que precede a la actuación del domingo de Journey en Lollapalooza. «Ok … Doble problema Chicago @NaradaMWalden @DeenTheDrummer Narada Michael Walden y el regreso de Deen Castronovo a la batería @AragonBallroom @lollapalooza», subtituló Schon en su publicación.​ Don't stop believin Monster «Any Way You Want It» - Caddyshack (1980)

This week we're discussing Bullets, Tanks, all the Cusaks and that time Bowie vocalised with your man Mercury. It's 1997's Grosse Point Blank. --- Grosse Pointe Blank, alternatively known simply as Blank, is a 1997 American black comedy crime film directed by George Armitage and starring John Cusack, Minnie Driver, Alan Arkin and Dan Aykroyd. Cusack plays an assassin who returns to his hometown to attend a high school reunion. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $31 million. --- hello, everyone and welcome to this week's episode of a hundred things. We learned from film I'm one of your host, my name's planty and I'm gross and a No guy, I'm John and I shit blanks. Well, congratulations again!

This, of course, is the podcast where we try and learn one hundred things from every film that we cover our GONEB. What are we covering this week? So we're looking in one thousand nine hundred and ninety seven gross point. Blank proper favorite, mind Disoun, but it was the music. The STATYON COUSAC is just neat's very well written.

You know you're, not a a long sucker. You Are you filmed all your scenes over lunch.

John H, God yet forever ago, rip those guys. The first form was released in one thousand nine hundred and ninety, and it was a Ratnapoora Jesus. Virgilian Sat Julian Sense. Yeah. I haven't thought about a Ratnapoora in decades, one of those that I potentially do have to watch. They made terminal velocity, pretty good super marrier brothers, pretty shit, bad, no person, your favorite judge, dread the ugly good man yeah. Absolutely it's a Disney Company and they've managed to re rename a lot of their films now as a Disney film, which seems a little bit cheeky. I really, as you can this one, but this is evidently why we got it on Disney plus in the UK yeah. True that true that otherwise weldy have to resource that ourselves. We would have a AVSO. I would have had to sauce it myself from that shelf behind me somewhere it's on. If you want to watch it in the UK people, it's on Disney plus section stars which I can't put on without thinking starres evil. Never SIS impression records. What are you doing it doesn't matter? I can't explain it to I'm wasting your rack and set in it that they don't do it. That's not just get out in the bin. The titles are the fantastic I can see clearly by Johnny Nash Y, to be confused, of course, is Johnny Cash. One s the man in black and the other guy is black. So here you go absolutely a one thousand nine hundred and ninety e e n Husain hundred and net n t n, one thousand nine hundred and sety two rich number one in the bill board hot one hundred sold over one million copies, which is what gives it a gold disk in the states, but it only hits silver in the UK with two hundred thousand sales covered in ninety three for the cool Roman soundtrack, wow yeah, onny nice.

Absolutely so John Cusack is Martin Blank. Hence the name of the the film yeah he's setting up for this job is jobbs is a hitman. Sorry, no he's a professional killer. That's that! That's where that's where exactly I everybody great line every time he does it. It's reallity watching his Ay and where is that ye o? Is that yeah? What was that about? No, I was looking this up. You can actually buy an I bath. You can get the one most from both for five ninty nine and basically it's just letter as it says, when the ten it's just in case on an e look in dry environment, stuff. You actually just pill that Yale Open your eye and just bathe your eye. It's a thing right, wow, that's fucking! Weird! I don't like Anton, I don't think anything in me able, so no I don't either. I can't the idea of contact lens is just makes me a bit sick, I'm entirely honest with him. Yeah touch he nice, no Ye! No! No! It's not for me make so he he's getting pretor. Shooting he's got his secretary on the phone, it's sister Joan Yeah Tasia few members. If there's a couple of members of your family in this and a right well, well spite because I only spotted Joan, but as I always do, I can't step without, of course, thinking about fantastic Adams, family s, toys, toy story or toys. I've forgotten toys even exist yeah. She was a robotic sister e Jesus. I think I've may be seen that film as many as five times as a cow. Really it's one of the S. I think that had recorded off sky when we first got sky, and I watched it over and over why? Why did I watch that? Over and over again, is this guy on a bike pulls a gun on these mobsters I mean they look like proper extras out of good fellers. Didn't they go proper guns went they really were he shoots him before they before they can be shut, or this this main guy can be shot and they unload clip after clip after clip on this. This this, I don't know corpse on a bike really this fine yeah. I flying with this this cab on it, which I always like a stubbed. It should be more stuck than in filth and then the dormant appears and executes them all yeah, just standing there blasting away this guy is a character called grocer played by home. It's a Danaro Dan acro and favorite yeah, yeah, goodness yeah. You Lot don't need us to tell you where we know don a cold from did. You know, he's made money out of founding those house of Blues Music Venues in the states yeah and is currently Hawking Crystal Head Vodka, which you can buy a bottle which looks exactly as you expect it to John Forty eight quid on Amazon for seventy cents, a let a bottle is a favor list, as if you are going to buy one, please shop anywhere else for your alcoholics, an you all. We don't mind ousedog yeah, absolutely so later they meet up at this bit of waste land. Grocer is saying a e union, that's more of a club, it's more in a club to make sure they don't get mixed up on jobs. Yeah Grocer mentions that he sold tanks to Central America. These t thirty four tanks and I yeah I took a bath on those thud. A thirty four tax, not concident must have sold these T. thirty four tanks in the last ten years, right so height, six to ninety six, considering how long you know this guy's been away from school, but but probably more likely in the last couple of years in the mid night is Soviet built. Since one thousand nine hundred and forty they stopped building them in one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight would you believe yet countries that still have them I'll? Give you an extra point. If you can guess a country in the world that still uses these tags, you Gush Lavie County, an I just covered a alou could have been. You could have been right there actually, because Bob near is one of them. A Republic of Congo just in case this as you're, not sure, that's the democratic one. You tend to know that because it doesn't have democratic in the title. If a country is democratic in the title, it is mostly undemocratic, yeah, a e e edvantiges North Korea yeah exactly on that subject: North Korea as well. The Yemen, Vietnam, Guineyguiney, Beso, Namibia and Guba, of course, Cube Nice. If you want to learn more about Cuba, tune into our current episodes, O everything we love for the simpsons, where we get to go to Cuba with homer Simpson, which is just as much one as it ses, they must be reliable tanks them. If people are still using them, they're being used in Cuba, I can assure you they are still using cast from the ES. So I was I was listening to some of the conversation. It was even me secretary. I brot the Amalteo, the animal, the ison go for it sure one of them packed up on his with eshe was asking for steel core. No so steel, co pesame is illegal, Picis, a harder steel and it doesn't deform on contact. If you shoot Kevlar with it is it ll PS at source classes am Opson aminition right, but she also says something of it. Soft Point, billets, yeah yeah no show point, builds a prains for hunting with the deformation of the nose creating a lower expansion and greater penetration. I know as soon as I state panettone a thought is going to laugh and I didn't know that and then he realized there is difference between the tenses like drank to the mail. Okay, yeah I've got you yeah. She does a little bit later on which I might as well do. While, while we're talking about bullets, she mentions nine, she shouted nine millimeter subsonic rounds. subsonic ammunition is ammunition designed to operate below the speed of sound, which means it's less than MAC. Zero Point Eight zero and it avoids Super Sonic, shot, wave or crack of a super sonic bullet which influences the loudness of the shop. So, if you're shooting with the silence that so, if you don't any get caught, that's what you want to use guys at for assassinations. I would assume I bet that is absolutely grow year. Grocer says it's a concern that that I want we've got X, Starz we've got those butch Filipinos and I'm like okay yeah great, it's a really uncomfortable conversation and like they're watching each other, the whole time art there and kind of Oh yeah. We in like the S B, to pin the hand in a book and if you try t like o yeah, it's good, he buggers off and and a new job comes in through the car facts. Did you love this Caninis? This is something that I lost a lot of time on this morning. The car facts I couldn't find a particular type of a model or anything like that, basically lost to history in the Internet, but the Toyota Century, if you bought a toie century, had an option which replaced the glove box space with an in Carfax. But that is all I could find. That is crazy, madness and it is to maisure thing have and your car yeah. He turns down he's going to go in Miami, but he turns down a job of blowing up a green piece. Boat Is Co. factest, Bolshoy Green piece have a four ships Rainbow Warrior Arctic Sunrise, Esperanza and witness he's in Miami doing this job. He drops his camera through the vent in this sleeping man, and I R drips poison down this string and just as it's about to do, it falls on his face and wakes him up. I mean this guy is a really light sleeper. Why? Yes, since it touched his face, it was up yeah, so he jumps downstairs at the gun and blows him away. I says: No, IT'S NOT ME HES! Whatever I'm doing you know I'll stop! No! No! It's not me! It's not that I just blows him away. So it's basically failed twice here ye and that's as we go in through the film he's. Really bad at this lake manage let's say a five year career. Let's say I was in the army for four Ay years years: Five Year career doing this because he doesn't do anything right the whole time, but I think it's dot with mental state. Isn't it yeah, because you can't you can to get right? S may be a professional, so they're very unhappy and he's got one last all last job that he can do is meant to make it look like he died in his sleep and it just so happens. It's where his reunion is yeah yeah, because she's, the secret is reading the the year book stuff and she is yes she's reading out the kind of that the invite to the and you kind of like, Oh my God that sounds awful. Did you ever go to one of your reunions? John? So I no! I didn't so a couple of things. I was eaout these things, the American ones different from a as cause. What they do is it every five to ten years? Isn't it every five ten years to go there, but some people take their year book. So Ye book is basically just an annual record of what they're done in the highlight stuff. So they take it with them, so they can actually compare and just see because a lot of them rate comments thinking all you're going to be the funniest pierce. Now you the hardest worker, but we don't have any on that. No, I do might do now. I but yeah, no back then, but even no. Even then I was reinin Israel, but apparently the tradition is dying out and the USA, because the Social Mejeedee are, if you've got a view. These good fast thing you do. Is You had your friends on finish books so if you've got the mirror or attainments appointing beaten up yeah? That's that's fair enough! Yeah and to be honest, if you hate them, then like I probably did yeah, you bother yeah exactly it's talks to psychiatrists couch as we discussed already the wonderful Alan Arkin he's not his doctor, because he's afraid of him he doesn't like he does, but he keeps coming back and he's to to he's too afraid to not kind of listen yeah, but it loves him because he is rating. An is is something but it a couple of books, yeah yeah this that go go a looking at that. Just looking at gotras bet grocery, as as it says, in the ten three lines rates WHO Pentas and in Cadet to somebody else, which is weird, but what our dead looked at is the sheet amount of money that theodopus get a bet remained every time you watch an American form, it seems like everybody in the dogs got at the other person, but generally the prices range from sixty five dollars to two hundred and fifty dollars an hour. Wow Therapist, I'm thinking my God sound. That's a lot of what they've o there's a lot of people with her in therapist of therapists over there, so I was going to pick have gone to pack any sort of career over there. I definite gain us some sort of therapy yeah, and now we moved to a advert for our sponsor this week, better help as Pensi my bete help, but well that we were would be would be good but yeah. It is it's an expensive job and this G he's not getting his money worth here. Is He at all it's' been dreaming on the Juras Bunny and he said that's a terrible dream. It's a depressing dream: like aerospace, drink, some punch meet up with the girl, debbiamo, okay, who's. This girl, Derby, Duracell last Juel Bunny campaign in one thousand nine hundred a D. seventy three! That's that that's there's a lot more in the Durosey and Lote court cases around it. It is very boring and very dry okays. This is the one. It got me rates a couple of things, but that seemed so one was when it was seen: a boat, the jams, a boat Deby. Yes, I was looking at it Tassoun about and it could mean that you lookin for closure a Corti somebody called Terry O Barch. The JUNISEAN is sixteen years older than energizer bunny as Jun, one thousand nine hundred and senty three but energizer as a sole rate to sell rabbit, embroidered batteries and s in the US. That's so were on it that they're, the only one, the lethe us and Canada, and U and Grisel- has kind of the rest of the world wherever wherever they wherever they sell them. I'm glad you managed take that look at out of there, because I found that was a very dry series of articles that are read yea. I press that we bet longer that grocer finds that he's lost this Detroit job to blank and he calls these feds who are seemingly after him, but he says: Oh I've got your I've got your I've got your pigeon, so obviously they're. Looking for they're looking for someone to sell yeah as blank sets gets into town, it passes the radio station and he passes Debby, which is mini driver Hoba, Hoba, yeah, t good Enos. Yes, he's one of ours he's very young, though very young. Indeed she is she's the radio DJ and she seems to have a real kind of hard on for, like to tone and kind of like punk scared. She Y A I Yahaya, that's good. He pulls up put the school and sees his old teacher Miss Mrs Kanele. She says you did. Oh, your Detroit's best disappearing accents white flight. I kind of wish I hadn't learned about this. About white fly rightly, is a turn for large scale: Migration of white people from one area to another when an area becomes more racially or culturally diverse, right, so fuck off the water you get up in the mountains, if that's your ah to yeah and it's a term. That's been popular in America since kind of h s right when areas started to become a little bit more ethnic, let's say et nity diverse, so I kind of wasn't into that. I just yeah, not great, he says yeah. I went West like the Donna Party Mane. I love the story of the Dollar Party. I got a big kick out of this story. The Donna Party was a group of American biles. We migrated to California in a wagon train from the Midwest. They were so delayed. They spent the winter eighteen. Forty six eighteen, forty seven snow bound in the Seria Sierra Nevada mountain range, like the beer. Some of the migrants resorted to cannibalism, to survive in the bodies of those who had succumbed to starvation, sickness and extreme cold on the DONA party Esus. No thanks to the wagon train. We are still alive, so I did eventually make it that they had. They had a taste for flesh. I was gonna, say he's something e chick about harm yeah, he says: Are you still teaching Ethan Throne, ethen frome? I one thousand nine hundred and even book by American Author Edith, Watton and they're basically having this gun of he says. Oh you have this Mary Tyler, more kind of thing going on he's flirting with him, but I'm kind of like that's weird. It's got that he heads off home. He gets home, but home, isn't there what's there? Instead, it's an ultimate, which I tried to go. God tons, actually no a shot. It and Bookay Fosti really is yeah. He gets in, he walk, he's, listening to guns and roses live and let die, which of course, is a cover of the wings number eleven e Di di Te to the backbands I did. I was like jeous releases, an arcade game yeah I stupidly when I was young at I bought doom. Is I tanou tons it that's a sorrevet them too yea. It is yeah yeah t e e H to wasn't released in Arcades.

Okay, Mackintosh, remember those he walks into this convenience store and the music changes the instant it gets since, like a music version, isn't it yeah?

It proper single mole, eight years, yeah, yeah of it and and Pauls it o the grave and bogus off yeah yeah, which you now really loved them or really hated them, as is yeah. I think it's. I think it's the opposite. I don't think you like him too much just while we're talking about where he is gross point is in Michigan, and it's on the banks of Lake Saint Claire, which is actually not one of the official Great Lakes there's five Great Lakes. This is often called the sixth grade lake there's been a number of attempts to have it recognized, none of which have been made official. There are five gross points that make up the city Gross Point Park, Grosse, Point City, crose, point farms, Groson Woods and gross point shores. Now, stop saying gross point. Well, I hon then, on the is it down baste a bridge right, yeah, Yeah God, that's that I don't even know what the thing, but the Bassa bridges are told, and a mashed or suspension bridge across the Detroit River can connect Detroit Machia in the United States with Windsor Ontario, Canada sor it connects countries. A yes is it's just it's a massive masses structure be looking to it as read that one, the look in to replace it. I don't know why. That's because it's to go be a steel, it Senate, but there they build a wall yeah, but yeah. It was massive when it was Mefiedo us to cross or six six dollars, twenty five Canadian cents. Then, if you want to, if you want to travel across that, just adding those on that's great stuff back to the film next day, he goes to see die.

That is an increase of seventy seven percent Jesus and that is in Tattie. THAT'S CRAZY INFLATION! Isn't it yeah that is obscene inflation, proper procreant.

I don't know she admits on the air that she's confused by the feelings and he he leaves and then kind of, comes back in it because they've got this really weird speaker system outside yeah. Yes, we can at her the shots going on, which I think he's probably only set up just for that one particular part of the film yeah she weed in this prom dress and he didn't show so she asked the people. What should what should he do? What should she do and Esau rings up, making wear that prom dress? No, an Kazari calls up from across the road. Tell her why you're really in town, tough guy, like a t, no yellow, rabbins or someone to yellow ribbon, which of course is a TI, yellow ribbon the song, which is what you do when somebody returns from. I always assume that was supposed to be from from war, but I think it could also be prison unless you're in the green, green grass of home he's walking away and as he's leaving, he clocks the feds and this weird euro trash. Looking Guy who looks like he's faces been moulded on so yeah. I thought it was prosthetic. If I did too yeah, it's just a really unattractive man. This is real fish is to he's a Spaniard. Is it is a stunt coordinator? It's done a done. A lot of things like I box and all that sort of thing. So He's done a lot of mashas movies. I okay, that explains what happens a little bit later on yeah and it yes, it keeps walking and he sees this Guy Paul who's. A friend from school generally Pivi, I been yeah yeah on real. Remember him from a sin on Tashai think he is in an Tarag. I've never seen a frame of it is that another storm you've got me.

But I don't know if, in the end of the series he ends up marrying an anti Vacco, I'm not in time show. I do really know what happens with him. Yeah. That's I'm sure, that's what that's about, but I've never had any intention of watching a set it just it just is not for me so pay this friend from schools in real estates. They meet this couple at this open house by the way right well who could afford this house today? Nobody more note with its Fouta kind of in police security, which is this guy, the police, you know, can you use? Can you lose use legal force, not really any an so s checking hook in America and that's kind of blow my mind, the me bat. So out of a hundred twenty seven point: Five, nine million households in the United States, only thirty six million of storm security, so at thirty present of forms in the US have any sort of security wow unexpected. I was expecting a lot, a lot more consenting every time you watch a farm or hear about America. It's like a the legit protect their own. It's like the fucking first page, that be a thing man, but no, I present have some sort of home security that that does surprise me at one hundred percent. I guess there's a lot of places that are in the middle of nowhere. I guess yeahs done either that do themselves. Yes out in a rocking chair out on the front exactly what are we? We, we bit of fashion lying across the front door, but the shot gun it now saying so: Micro Machines in the hall, a cans on the stairs, and I am ready to come to Intesi, really hot door, knob classic classic.

Then she one is like talking about shipping. The next minute. She's shouting at the arms de Lerin, the superstar, the kids play in the doom to arcade game with the headphones on listening to the ace spades by most ending classic, be music or the SEIS called Masella Masella Coss. I think you may be only use the name once you're a trash guy comes in and there's this running gun battle, it's fantastic and the kids still playing the game he's missing the whole thing. It's brilliant kind of, like John Wou jump in sideway, some things yea. He runs out and, as Martin sees, that he'd put some Centex in some sea foreway. He stuck some pens and potty and stuck in a make a way. Martin saves the Kid, as the place blows up a lovely, proper explosion. It's good to see is an don't eat. Okay, we ar empty cottons of milk and stuff and a toilet roll. Are you? Okay? I'm not okay, I'm hurt I'm pest and I need to find a new job. They just makower walking away mumble it so, which I thought was absolutely seven. Instead of going, you need to see here and read for the poise just bug it up. I've got written here discover magazine at this very point, and I assume that at some point he picks up a discover magazine. I can't think why else I would have that written there, but discover magazine lunch in one thousand nine hundred and eighty, and is a science and lifestyle magazine you get digital subscription now for one ninety, nine, a month dollars and print and digital version for twenty four.

It's a real thing and it translates as break of negative thoughts. Jack a Bote Shashee me REC, the book, an IT's all I want to do. I'm gonna stop that some of the start right, there's that rang with start rap, so Jesus, the Stutter Rap O. that's a reference for nobody, I'm only just old enough to know what that is. A Cheche asks it to the reunion she says: no chance, you're still you're still in the you're. Still in a time out box, this woman, a by, turns up really drunk. So we make some excuses to go to the bar. It goes into the toilet and the feds. ARE THERE YEP?

All right is that is at an cusack, is a a name is Mikasa my Cusi Wow, now you're right and so in my bad yeah. I thought yeah, I know he's got a sister and I didn't know she was much of an actor, but then arguably he isn't either so it harsh baby. We like the film this whole point. We learn here that they can't do anything to him until he goes to the IMA with this, with this killing, so the everybody's holding on the waiting for this they go and leave he leans in for the winch, and she refuses him. He calls Marcella and she gives him the heads of the fence, the from the NSA and they're. Looking for a Patsy and they've been sailed by grocer. We also find out that the Eurotrash kind of Gil, weird the calling yeah, is a Basque separatist, now a separatist, a something that used to be big in the news. If you, if you remember you know, when we were growing up, the Basque region is an autonomous community in northern Spain and the bast conflict ran from fifty two years and only ended in thousand a eleven, because I remember, even in my s, there was bombings on TV news which were always attributed to bask separatists. I always thought a bas. separators were a guy that removed woman's underwear at asks, Goab to keep it on s, been a war, since I seen a good ask. Is that not one of those giant snakes with a big teeth? He explains he hasn't even looked at the job that he should have been doing. He hangs up and heads to see Debbie she's, staying at appearance because her apartment got burnt down. Did you catch when it was burnt down junk Halloween? So it's like the crew on it. The wait.

I Want T, go back and reedit that for an enemy we will re record it. When we get to under episodes. A hundred episode will do the Crooning Yeah. So the the whole thing here is right. He goes, he goes to the window and she opens open, but- and I I guess I wouldn't have known- had it not been for the the subtitles, because I was a it sub titles, it says in Jamaican accent and she's like you can come in Oh yeah. What why and then she's like you can call me in and then goes back to. The American accent. Again, like I mean is, is that okay is that? Are you allowed to do that? I mean it was a night easy, Doinyo fucking one in no very t. You should stop doing that. No, I'M! Not! Okay! With that I've been a little bit uncomfortable. Who wrote this? Oh Yeah, John Kosack. She agrees to go with the reunion, but only if he does the airplane, which is this really weird thing you and lift you sort of pull his feet just to do that. My sisters when I was younger, I did you a a fly. What? If, what? If Your Dad comes in, oh well, he can you can have an airplane to yeah. He says I as I could stay. We could watch cross fire on TV, something romantic like that. A cross fire was a political debate, show that ran one thousand nine hundred eighty two to two thousand and eight and then had some kind of little couple of little years post that two guests, one representing left and one representing the right of American politics, doesn't sound very romantic. Does it there's like a bag of shit just so back a ship? It sounds like you're. Not really trying to do news night is like he leaves, and the next morning he's getting breakfast grocer comes into the diner that he's getting breakfast, as, as I get a good scene, I at this scene a lot now the the waitress comes over and she says she says he's the specials we've got and one of them was the ALFALFA FA. On my mind, Omelet- and I was like we already know what Al Halfer is we leant two weeks ago when we talked about the R Pasan adventure yeah, so we couldn't even look at bloody of Alfa and he says oh I'll have an egg white omlet, please and what you want in it. Nothing, that's not technically a numble ever matter what you want, O Doin, an manias ran to s a good line, but rosman was sitting seeing a boat and we should get onions and as Salata solant and onions for the blood yeah yeah. So look that up with did you look up was real. No, I didn't. I did you know now. I've really dropped the ball this week and you are picking it up. Good man, so onions have an inflammatory es that may help reduce a high blood pressure and protect against blood clots, SOLANCO or coriander. As we call it is good for Laurin, bad cholesterol and encreases the levels of good cholesterol. That just sounds like an outlet joke that laws bad give it's very good for the digestive system. So I need to get both of those in my diet, I think the press up it, fine, I'm just overweight yeah. I just I just love pies and pints. That's my problem! Well, there good for your mental health, no for sure for sure! Absolutely with with with my bed, with my birthday coming up at a all, be pies and pine to me. I can assure you that I can assure you of that so and basks and Basso you, man, grocer, orders, two pots, eggs, bran, muffin and two toast scrape off scrape off the Ranana, the watery stuff, and I kind of get there with postings, and I was really disappointed.

We got about this. The only way we fix it is just to cover it. We just got poet, would o black makes a run for the place before Grosser can shooting? But one thing I had missed is gross has got these. He says I what are those and he says, other the the herbal medicines or whatever groke says? No, you should you should be on. You should be on this. In said, Dureza. Yes, I guess Raza, it's a brand name for foxite. It's an antidepressant used for the treatment of Belem, depression, neuroses and obsessive compulsive personality disorder. It's been passed in the states for use on treating children aged eight and over with depression, which seems crazy to me. Was it called? It's called well, the his version was called Juris, but the Brat it's a brand name of fluoxetine right. Okay, it's used also for treating premature, ejaculation, so happy birthday to you as well. Jom, yes, come elut! That absolutely be I and he says, we're only two years away from the government putting this in the water in the water, yeah, okay, okay, so blank makes the run and Grosser can't shoot him. They make a lot of these weird noises, so he's doing like like a kind of a Honkin kind of ape noise. Isn't it and all the way, all the way through every single scene that this kind of Fightin, with grosser he's going he's going pop corn? But on you know what what is, and I could not figure for the life of me. What I was I initially thought it was. You know the but Baba a but but babut. No. I wasn't like to go a buck on this ens. if you could figure, if you have any idea the fuck, that was a bat that was about weird that the end on at when I was Tracy, walk, Cernis, Tate Yeah. He does it all you doing it all that all the time you like and he song at the end, I quite liked anyway, by the bye we will, we will get to that. He Calls Oatman Otman, tells him to concentrate on breathing for twenty minutes and don't kill. Anyone was great he's late for picking up Debbie and he finally leaves after Talkin kind of talking to this other and ten, and if you don't get on with me, I'll just kill you which, and we kind of go back to the we go back to the hotel room, the Guest House that he's in and there's a there's another person. There there's a hand which sees the sees the invite and sees the phone ring in and then he turns up. She sends him in to to see her dad yeah and I liked him. I liked him very much he says: Do you want a drink? He says he says. No, he says Oh good good to see it looks like I lost my bet. I thought it would be after the millennium, so it's only three years out. Ye May Be Shit on pop master, though he says he says: Oh I'm, a professional killer, good for you. It's a growth industry. Everybody's cool with this is a den in to join his e yeah. Absolutely he he says I stay for a drink. No, he says I can't stay for a drink. I've got a N. I've got to go, were late fantastic, so they get to the party they get to the thing and the piece of music. That's playing at this point. John. Did you know it? No, it was we care a lot by faith, no more, which I'm a big fan of, and it as it's a great piece of music. I assume you know it or you've heard it before yeah sad, then Oheteroa, all he ever see yeah. I all the way to, unfortunately, for you, John, they do say more and I've got a little quest for you on what they do care a lot about one. So it's just it's the the either care a lot or they don't give a fuck. You tell me number one: do they care a lot about killer bees? Yes, they do. They care a lot about killer bees. Number two: Do they care a lot about the s? F? P? D? No, I'm afraid they do care about that. They care about the n y and the S F. PD yeah number: Three: do they care about mast crusaders? No, they do not care about mass crusaders working over time over time. Fighting Crime- possibly I don't know, but they do they do care about. The transformers is. That is what the care that is, the motel toy, that they care about D, doesn't indeed yeah, because there's more than meets the eye. Is the lyric a number four? Do they care about the garbage Pale? Kids? Yes, they do care about the guys, but I never lie. I don't and number five. Do they care about just say no! No, they do not care about. Just in there was sin it was and that cared about just saying no Roland be big grade reference there for nobody was it. Was it Seggy absently at Ziggy, Yeah Danny? What was he called that got addicted to heroin or whatever got killed a thing, any O respread the West Brook in Grain Shell? This has got really niche this. This is why we're popular in Britain and nowhere else, e much yeah in a a green Shell Green shall all right. Okay, so this guy, that's a lawyer offers him a business card. It is I'll. Hang on a second now, actually I'll give you one of these. The LIDS got my details on and John I'm not lying I'll be Abe to show you listeners. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see, but John, I am currently writing with my own personal view, amount of seen that on that camera shore yeah, so that's important, we'll come back to that pen later yeah. This is again my thought. That's going to come back if you wanted two hundred and fifty of these pens, John Today, with with with with that company name on that, we that we shall not mention or potentially with the podcast name on not bad idea, they'll cost you he'll, cost your tenor, a hundred and fifty pence. Well, that's good enough plus that so we'll figure that shit out and not to order those, because that's I mean who uses pens, cool the pets dame from Damer and Greggs in this film. Very, very briefly, isn't she yeah Genoan, Janet L, Janet Elfman, Geno, yeah, she's, very, very briefly in this film and she and she's got the she's got the neck brace on and all that kind of all that kind of piece? Doesn't she that's, Sir John Cusack in sixteen candles wore one of those? Oh God, dear yes, sixty sixty candles is a good film. Sixteen candles makes me cry: It does sixteen candles, a honestly make me SOB, Bel Kuzak may have been in this back so Belka. His brother junk as at brother, was a weir that I remember if it was a weir and the bar that were in or is a one of the Wass one of the guys I be kind a yeah yeah, okay, so a family affair. Indeed, it is indeed it is gross point, nepotism, Tis Hollywood, it's just what happened and she died for a moment. This character crashed a car on some ice and died for a moment. Everyone in this kind of this scenes really falling apart, aren't they yeah, I lit a miss. I think the whole thing is that blanks meant to be the most together. Strangely, like a you know, you start the film thinking he's the least together and actually turns out east the most together, but he sees this character tracy and a baby. This baby by the way cute o sweet one. These big guys are fantastic. That baby will be twenty four now John Jesus God g field old jet is he? Is he failing a KAS against Nirvana for tin to listen, a murder, excellent work yeah? He holds the baby and this this this epiphany of staring contest, basically to under pressure like Queen and David Boy. Yep Big Fan of this number really like this particular there's. A lot of good songs in this that's problems with as tess music that the they have like Sumene leave. Is it the music that was there when Ye leave ye? Yes, yes, and no, because under pressus S, N one thousand nine hundred and eighty one song in Canada and de Nedelin and the UK, I got to number one and it's covered in two thousand and five by my chemical romance and the used I don't know either and charter barely charted in the US at forty eight and in two thousand and eighteen, it was covered by Shan Mendez featuring teddy. Now I don't know if it's teddy sharing him telly rook spin or that bear for my eyes as a sure that makes me cry as well in a man that rich me a that film Jesus Post.

As big as Bob Seger is on the radio – arguably one of the top half dozen classic rock artists to still have a big footprint on rock radio – in his entire career, he actually only had seven top 40 hits that cracked the top 10. He spent a lifetime on the road. A classic rock mainstay.  But big top 40 hits?  Hardly. Bob Seger’s only #1 hit? - "Shakedown" from 1987 and the Beverly Hills Cop II soundtrack. His other top 10’s? “Night Moves” #4 in 76 “Still The Same” #4 in 78 “Against The Wind” #5 in 1980 “Fire Lake” #6 in 1980 But there are other tunes that were big that have slipped away.  You want to the deeper catalog of Bob Seger?  It’s not always on the radio any more – outside of stations in Michigan, where he is still the hometown hero across there.  I know. I lived in Michigan for almost 20 years.  The amount of Bob Seger  - deep Seger – on the radio is astounding.  Album tracks from Live Bullet.  Album tracks from Against the Wind.  Lots of the cuts from the Stranger in Town and Night Moves albums. Go to Detroit. He’s the man. But elsewhere?  Not as much.  The stuff that was once a radio hit but faded away. So what has been become overlooked from this rock and roll giant? The story is pretty well known.  Bob Seger was a regional star for a long time, building his reputation as a great live performer while not getting much love nationally. But he just kept driving the roads and playing the gigs, and ultimately broke big nationally with the Live Bullet double album recorded at Detroit’s Cobo Hall in 1975 and released in 1976. That’s the record that vaulted "Turn The Page" into a rock radio classic. On Rock Pop and Roll, We take look back at five songs that were big but have gotten lost in the years passing and radio playlists tightening.  Links: Hear Spotify playlist: Bob Seger - Underappreciated Hits and (much more)!

The great Sax player who played with Bob Seger band for 50 years, Alto Reed made his transition Wed. Dec. 30th. We did  tribute to Alto Reed , with Dave Mason, Rock Hendrix and Tom Lauzon. He passes away at his new home in Reno, teh Detroit News said,   MUSIC Saxophonist and 'showman' Alto Reed of Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band has died Melody Baetens The Detroit News   View Comments Detroit musician Alto Reed, best known as the saxophone player in Bob Seger's band, died Wednesday at age 72 after battling stage four colon cancer. His musicality and woodwind chops are forever part of rock and roll history with his contributions to songs such as "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "Turn the Page." The saxophonist also is remembered for the electric showmanship he brought to the Silver Bullet Band's live concerts, most notably, "Live Bullet" at Cobo Hall in 1975.   "Alto has been a part of our musical family, on and off stage, for nearly 50 years," said Seger in a statement issued Wednesday. " I first starting playing with Alto in 1971. He was amazing — he could play just about anything … he was funky, could scat and play tenor sax and alto sax at the same time." In his tribute, Seger said in the band, "Alto was the rock star."

Albert Cobo was Detroit's mayor during its population apex, but his blatant racism and strong opposition to affordable public housing helped jumpstart the city's fall from grace, an impact that runs much deeper than his name being removed from the city's civic center.

Hired on to work for the band during the Alive! tour, Barry would pull double duty doing guitar tech work for both Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley. His tenure with The Hottest Band in the Land lasted through Alive II around 1978. Barry had a front row seat to the fast ascent of KISS and was a part of numerous landmark moments in the band's zenith. We barely scratched the surface in this entertaining chat but touch on topics such as the sold out 3 night run at Cobo Hall in 1976, the Anaheim Stadium show, the making of Destroyer, and KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park! Other subjects covered include a hilarious story of a barefoot Ace Frehley in Sweden, Ace getting shocked in Lakeland, Florida, and the subsequent use of wireless gear. Also, Barry shares how his Chicago-area band Lois Lane was almost a farm club for KISS replacement members. It's an hour-plus of great stories told by a man that witnessed the magic of KISS first-hand. We hope you enjoy Road Stories with Barry Ackom and SHARE with a friend Merry KISSmas in July!

From Dr. King's march on Woodward to Cobo Hall where he delivered an early version of his “I Have a Dream” speech, to Coleman Young's election in 1973, to Malcolm X's days of activism in the city, to the protests of police brutality this past week, Detroit has always been a hotbed for civil rights. In the 1800s, it was no different. Thousands of freedom seekers fled north on the Underground Railroad to escape slavery, and one of the main places they ended up at was Detroit. Canada banned slavery in 1834, so for many freedom seekers, it was the final destination for escaping bounty hunters trying to bring them back into bondage. As Windsor was just on the other side of the river, Detroit marked one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad. It was nicknamed “Midnight.” We study stories from those days, including the story of Caroline Quarlls, a “fancy girl” who travelled hundreds of miles to Detroit and deceived several slave catchers on her way to freedom. We also look at the religious institutions that helped them, including Second Baptist Church of Detroit and Sandwich First Baptist Church.

Who Was Bob Seger And The Silver Bullets' Music Producer?___About this topic: Robert Clark Seger (/ˈsiːɡər/, born May 6, 1945) is an American singer, songwriter and musician. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s, breaking through with his first album, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man (which contained his first national hit of the same name) in 1968. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the 'System' from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet (1976), recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan.A record producer or music producer oversees and manages the sound recording and production of a band or performer's music, which may range from recording one song to recording a lengthy concept album.[1] A producer has many, varying roles during the recording process.[2] They may gather musical ideas for the project, collaborate with the artists to select cover tunes or original songs by the artist/group, work with artists and help them to improve their songs, lyrics or arrangements.A producer may also:Select session musicians to play rhythm section accompaniment parts or solosCo-write[3]Propose changes to the song arrangementsCoach the singers and musicians in the studio------------------------------------Get in touch!https://www.jobsearchchannel.com__Affiliate Disclosure: I may earn a commission for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial, and/or link to any products or services from the links above.

Self-care is different for everyone, and can look like a variety of different things.

Continuando con nuestra pequeña historia del rock, nos habíamos quedado en el final de la crisis energética y admirando la eclosión de un buen número de grandes grupos. Como una pincelada, escuchamos la excelente canción de Kansas, “Dust in the wind”. Pero hubo muchos más, por ejemplo, Styx, con su éxito “Lady”. Los orígenes de Styx se remontan a 1963, cuando, en Chicago, los hermanos Chuck y John Panozzo (bajista y batería, respectivamente) empezaron a tocar, por diversión, con el teclista y cantante Dennis De Young. Durante los primeros cinco años, la música fue un hobby para ellos. Luego, en 1968, entraron en escena los guitarristas James Young y John Curulewski, y el grupo, bajo el nombre de Tradewinds, comenzó a actuar por el área de Chicago. No eran tan potentes y originales como Chicago, que en aquel periodo dominaba la escena jazz-rock americana, pero tenían un gran espíritu de superación, que se lo curraban, vamos. En 1970, tras haber cambiado su nombre por el de Styx, publicaron su primer álbum, 'Styx', prometedor y lleno de ideas, aunque realizado con muy bajo presupuesto. Su segundo disco, 'Styx II' (1973), contiene su primer gran éxito, la canción 'Lady', que acabamos de escuchar, y que, en 1975, escaló las listas de singles; fue un caso aislado, ya que tanto este disco como los siguientes, pasaron casi inadvertidos. Otro grupo de esta misma época, Boston, también tuvo su momento de gloria con una canción: “More tan a feeling” Boston se crea a mediados de 1969 por el ingeniero de sonido Tom Scholz como guitarrista y principal compositor, además del vocalista Brad Delp, el guitarrista Barry Goudreau y el batería Jim Masdea. Tras un inicio algo incierto, el batería deja el grupo y es reemplazado por Sib Hashian, y además el bajista Fran Sheehan se incorpora a las filas del grupo. Es así, como en 1976 y gracias a las composiciones ingeniosas del Scholz, el grupo lanza en 1976 su primer álbum titulado simplemente "Boston" y colocando inmediatamente éxitos en las listas de popularidad, como la clásica "More than a feeling", que acabamos de oír. Para 1978, el grupo lanza su segundo álbum titulado "Don´t look back", el cual, a pesar de ser bastante más flojo que su antecesor, el disco alcanza ventas que le llevan al disco de platino y la canción que da título al álbum se convierte en un éxito comercial. Nos despedimos de Boston con esta canción: "Don´t look back" Otro de estos grupos fue Journey, una banda de rock creada en 1973 en San Francisco, por el teclista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon, por cierto, integrantes originales de Santana. Esta banda, de estilo rock progresivo en sus inicios, fue cambiando a un estilo más melódico con la incorporación del vocalista Steve Perry en 1978. Este tipo, con la aportación de voz, convirtió a la banda en una de las más destacadas de los años 1980, con ventas de más de 80 millones de discos en todo el mundo. Journey alcanzó la cima del éxito en 1981 con el álbum Escape, que contenía canciones como "Open Arms", "Who's Crying Now" y "Don't Stop Believin'". Escucharemos esta última. Robert Clark "Bob" Seger, nacido en Lincoln Park, Míchigan, el 6 de mayo de 1945, es cantante, compositor, guitarrista y pianista, lo tiene todo. Al principio de su carrera se dedicó a actuar y grabar de forma local, llegándole el éxito en la misma medida. Pero, en 1973, reunió The Silver Bullet Band, un grupo de músicos del área de Detroit, con el que alcanzó ya el éxito a nivel nacional con el álbum Live Bullet, grabado en vivo en 1975 en el Cobo Hall de Detroit, Míchigan. En 1976, consigue un nuevo éxito nacional con el álbum de estudio Night Moves. Bob Seger es un roquero de raíces, con una clásica voz raspada. Ha escrito y grabado canciones que tratan del amor, las mujeres y temas sobre la clase trabajadora, y se ha preocupado siempre por escribir sobre el estilo de vida del trabajador estadounidense. Seger ha tenido numerosos éxitos, pero creo que le recordaremos por su icónico tema "Old Time Rock and Roll" Rainbow es una banda británica de hard rock y heavy metal liderada por el guitarrista Ritchie Blackmore, cuyo período de actividad tuvo lugar entre 1975 y 1984 aunque volvieron a escena entre 1994 y 1997. Originalmente fue fundada por Blackmore y los componentes del grupo Elf, pero con el tiempo la banda sufrió varios cambios en su formación y, desgraciadamente, ninguna de ellas grabó más de un disco. Originalmente su música mezclaba letras épicas con el sonido del metal neoclásico, pero con el paso del tiempo y, supongo, por las exigencias del mercado, el grupo adoptó posturas más comerciales. En 1978, el grupo se reunió en París, en los estudios Le Chateau, para preparar un nuevo LP. Tras dos meses de sesiones intermitentes, Blackmore, disgustado con los resultados, despide a varios de sus músicos por “incompatibilidad de caracteres”, supongo… La grabación queda detenida y Blackmore regresa a Inglaterra para probar músicos. Al no quedar conforme con ninguno, vuelve a París y graba él mismo todas las partes de bajo. Otras pistas son regrabadas en diciembre por un músico de sesión llamado David Stone. Tras todos estos avatares, el grupo dio a luz “Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, trabajo lanzado en el Reino Unido el 14 de abril de 1978. Y es éste: “Long Live Rock and Roll” The Alan Parsons Project fue un grupo inglés de rock progresivo formado en 1975 en Londres y activo hasta 1990.1 La banda estuvo liderada por el productor, ingeniero y compositor Alan Parsons y el productor ejecutivo, compositor y vocalista Eric Woolfson. En él participaron varios músicos de estudio y un grupo amplio de cantantes. En conjunto grabaron un total de once discos, acreditándose la mayoría de las canciones como Parsons/Woolfson, quienes lograron vender más de cincuenta millones de copias. Cuando mejor rodaban las cosas, y como siempre ocurre en casi todos los grupos, las relaciones entre Woolfson y Parsons no eran las mejores y, consecuentemente, llegó la separación. Mientras Parsons siguió su propia carrera en solitario y llevó a muchos miembros del proyecto de gira por primera vez con gran éxito, Woolfson produjo obras musicales influenciadas por la música de The Alan Parsons Project. Obras como Freudiana, Gaudi y Gambler fueron tres musicales que incluyeron canciones como "Eye in the Sky". Billy Joel ha grabado muchos éxitos populares y logrado más de 40 éxitos desde 1973 (empezando con el sencillo "Piano Man" que ya hemos oído en este programa) hasta su retirada en 1993, aunque, bueno, el hombre sigue haciendo tours. Es uno de los pocos artistas de rock y pop que consiguieron éxitos en el "Top Ten" de los 70, 80, y 90. Ganador del Premio Grammy en seis ocasiones, ha vendido más de 100 millones de discos en el mundo y es el sexto artista con más ventas en Estados Unidos. Ha realizado exitosas giras artísticas algunas veces con Elton John además de escribir y grabar música clásica. En 1983 lanzó el álbum "An Innocent Man" que incluía la pegadiza "Uptown Girl". En este álbum Billy Joel hace un tributo a la música de su infancia y siempre ha considerado este trabajo como “un álbum de cantantes”. Concretamente, "Uptown Girl" es un homenaje a Frankie Valli y The Four Seasons y su estilo doo-wop, hecho popular a mediados de los años 50. Escuchamos Uptown Girl. En esta época, destacaron varios guitarristas que no podemos pasar por alto. Cada uno con un estilo diferente, aportaron a la creatividad del momento páginas inolvidables. El primero de ellos Pat Metheny. Pat Metheny es un guitarrista estadounidense de jazz, reconocido como uno de los más grandes músicos de este género. Ha ganado innumerables premios y reconocimientos, entre ellos 20 Grammy. A lo largo de su dilatada carrera, ha tocado con artistas tan diversos como Antonio Carlos Jobim, Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Michael Brecker, Milton Nascimento, Enrique Morente, David Bowie o Carlos Santana. Nosotros vamos a escucharle, con su Pat Metheny Grup, en Better Days Ahead. Patrick Henry Travers , nacido el 12 de abril de 1954 en Toronto, Canadá, es un guitarrista de Hard Rock que inició su carrera musical a mediados de los setenta. Por su banda han pasado gente tan reconocida como Nicko McBrain o Jerry Riggs, entre otros. De su producción destacan los discos de sus inicios, como Heat in the Street de 1978, álbum en el que contó con el reconocido batería Tommy Aldridge; Crash and Burn de 1980 y Radio Active de 1981. A partir de allí, la carrera de Travers no ha logrado el éxito comercial obtenido en su primera época, sin embargo, conserva una leal base de fanáticos seguidores desde entonces. En retrospectiva, Pat Travers es considerado uno de los guitarristas más influyentes que emergió de la escena hard rock de los setentas. Algunos guitarristas, incluyendo a Kirk Hammett de Metallica, han citado a Travers como una de sus mayores influencias. Esto que suena es Snortin Whiskey Y bueno, no tenemos tiempo para más. Se nos han quedado en la recámara unos cuantos artistas que hubieran merecido nuestra atención. Se la prestaremos más adelante. En cualquier caso, ha sido un placer para mi, y espero que para vosotros, recordar a toda la gente que ha desfilado hoy por el programa. Así que, queridos amigos, me despido de todos vosotros amenazando con volver la próxima semana como siempre con… más historias, más músicos y más música. Hasta entonces… ¡¡¡BUENAS VIBRACIONES !!!

Today, August 14, is Saint Werenfrid's Day.    Werenfrid is the patron saint of vegetable gardens.   He is often portrayed as a priest holding up a ship with a coffin in it or displayed as a priest laid to rest in his ship.   Werenfrid is also invoked for gout and stiff joints; which, if you’re a vegetable gardener, those three sometimes go together.       Brevities #OTD   Today, in 1765, a crowd gathered under a large elm tree in Boston.   The group was there to protest the Stamp Act that was passed by British Parliament.   The act imposed a tax on paper in the American colonies which meant that all the paper had to have a stamp on it. So, if you were publishing a newspaper, or needed a mortgage deed, or court papers, it all had to be printed on paper with a tax stamp on it.   There was an elm tree that became a rallying point for resistance against the British and that tree became known as the Liberty Tree.   The tree had been planted in 1646 - just sixteen years after Boston became a city. As the colonists began rejecting orders from Britain, the tree became a bulletin board of sorts. As it's symbolism grew, protesters would share calls to action on the trunk.   When the stamp act was repealed, the tree was THE place people went to celebrate; hanging flags and streamers, as well as lanterns from its branches.     After the war began, Thomas Paine wrote an ode to the Liberty Tree in the Pennsylvania Gazette.    It said:   "Unmindful of names or distinctions they came For freemen like brothers agree,  With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued, And their temple was Liberty Tree…"   Four months later, in August, British troops and Loyalists descended on the tree. A man named Nathaniel Coffin Jr. cut it down.       #OTD   On this day in 1873, the magazine Forest and Stream debuted.  Forest and Streamfeatured outdoor activities like hunting and fishing. It was dedicated to wildlife conservation and it helped launch the National Audubon Society.   In 1930, the magazine merged with Field & Stream.       #OTD  Today in 1880 for the botanist Ada Hayden was born.   Hayden was the curator of the Iowa State University herbarium.    As a young girl, growing up in Ames, Iowa, she fell in love with the flora surrounding her family’s home. Hayden was a talented photographer, artist, and a writer, and she put all of those skills to good use documenting Iowa’s prairies.   Hayden became the first woman to earn a PhD from Iowa State.   She inherited her grandparents farm and she often brought her botany students there to walk through the Prairie and to take notes on their observations.    Hayden’s life work was to save the vanishing prairie ecosystem.   Hayden loved the Prairie. She wrote,   "Throughout the season, from April to October, the colorful flowers of the grassland flora present a rainbow-hued sequence of bloom. It is identified with the open sky. It is the unprotected battleground of wind and weather.    When Dr. Hayden died, the University named a 240-acre-tract of virgin Prairie, Hayden Prairie, in her honor.       #OTD    On this day, in 1960, FTD had their 50th anniversary convention at Cobo Hall in Detroit.    And there’s a lovely video of the convention that’s available to see on YouTube. I shared it in the The Daily Gardener Community Facebook Groupor you can see a link to it in today show notes.   The video was prepared for those members who could not attend. It is utterly charming.    You get to see 50's fashions. You get to see a revolving floral stage. It was a three-day long extravaganza in Detroit - it it just  so fun to watch.           #OTD    Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist Edgar Walter Denison, who was an expert on Missouri’s wildflowers.    Denison died in Missouri on this day in 1993. Tennyson had emigrated to the country from Stuttgart, Germany In 1927. He left behind much of his extended family; including a famously brilliant cousin named Albert Einstein.   Denison's book, Missouri Wildflowershas sold nearly 100,000 copies since its first printing in 1962. Denison illustrated the book as well. One of the reasons the book was so popular is because the way the book is organized. It especially appeals to gardeners; It’s organized by color and within colors by month of blossom. As a result, gardeners can find a species quickly and with ease.   Denison had an amazing personal garden. He had over 1,000 varieties of plants which he grew from seed; he hated the thought of removing a plant from its native habitat.   Denison had a special relationship with the Missouri Botanical Garden. The gardens director, Peter Raven, said,   “An old-fashioned European gentleman in many ways, Edgar Denison exceeded most of our citizens in his deep love for the plants that enrich and beautify Missouri .“     Denison's former next-door neighbor, horticulturist Patrick Brockmeyer, said Denison told him everything he knew about plants including pruning, fertilizing, weed control naturally; he was a naturalist. Brockmeyer felt Denison's presence when he visited the garden. He said,   “He was there. I don’t care what anyone says, that man was in that garden. I could tell by the way the birds were singing.“    Unearthed Words "How sociable the garden was. We ate and talked in given light. The children put their toys to grass All the warm wakeful August night." - Thomas Gunn, Last Days at Teddington Today's book recommendation: Tulipomania: The Story of the World’s Most Coveted Flower and the Extraordinary Passions It Aroused by Mike Dash   It’s hard to believe, but in the 1630s, the tulip trade was a big deal.   Tulip bulbs changed hands for incredible amounts of money. At one point, flowers were being sold for more than the cost of a home. This was truly Tulipomania and as the book shares, it was the first futures market in history.   The book documents the  ancestry of the tulip. From their origins in Asia, migrating west to Turkey, and then to Antwerp where a man working on the docks, sees a stray bulb on the ground, picks it up, takes it home, and ate it - thinking it was an onion.  Dash is an excellent writer. The book is a delightful read.     Today's Garden Chore   Line the bottom of your pots with burlap or a coffee filter.    This way water will drain, but you don’t have to worry about soil leaking out. If you use burlap, you could cut a piece that’s big enough to extend from the lip of the pot down to the bottom of the hole and then back up again.   I love to see little hints of burlap lining the inside of my pots. It adds an extra layer of texture and dimension - and I think it’s quite charming, especially if you’re giving the plant as a gift. So, one of the chores my student gardeners help me with, is cutting a swath of burlap and then lining the terra-cotta pots in the garden.         Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   Today in 1975, The Hearne Democrat, out of Hearne, Texas announced there was a canning lid shortage.    Here’s what it said:    "The problem has reached crisis proportions in parts of the country where home gardeners have planted crops in hopes of saving on grocery bills. As harvest begins, these home gardeners are discovering the canning lid shortage means there is no way of preserving their ripe fruits and vegetables for fall and winter use...   Part of the cause is the tremendous increase in number of home gardeners. The federal office of Consumer Affairs estimates that 12 million new gardeners have joined the market for home canning equipment in the past two years...   Another part of the problem is that, in addition to the greatly increased number of gardeners who need lids, some home canners have been buying far more lids than they will need. Because of this hoarding for future use the shortage has been aggravated."       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

It’s a big week for fall racing in Michigan with this Sunday marking the 41st running of the Detroit Free Press Chemical Bank Marathon and Half Marathon. Since 1989, Barbara Bennage has been involved with helping organizing this race tradition in The D. She’s served as executive race director of the event since 2014. “The best part about my job, aside from giving runners the opportunity to experience a unique race and change their lives, is I have the greatest staff in the world,” says Barbara, who works in the marketing department at the Detroit Free Press and describes herself as a recreational runner – “I run for mimosas,” she jokes. This race brings between 26,000 – 27,000 runners to the downtown streets of Detroit, across the Ambassador Bridge into the Canada (for the international races), and onto Belle Isle. Barbara shares the history of the longstanding race – it started as the Motor City Marathon in 1963; the course began including the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit with Windsor, Ontario, Canada, in the late 1970s – and also explains how today there are both international and domestic distances for runners, and what that means for the runner experience. Barbara also talks about the race’s health and fitness expo that takes place in Cobo Hall this Friday and Saturday. More than 100 exhibitors will be on hand for this event. The race after-party, meanwhile, is a big celebration that offers some $5,000 in giveaways. While online registration is over, runners still can sign up for domestic races this weekend (not race day) at the health and fitness expo. There is a 5K and mile option, too.
