As a live music enthusiast, I've had my fair share of concert escapades, but I pale in comparison to my latest podcast guest, Russell Kahn, the Chief Content Officer at News-O-Matic and a veteran of nearly a thousand shows. Imagine losing yourself in the throngs of a Phish concert or catching John Popper's harmonica mid-air; these are the moments we live for. In our conversation, Russ and I swap tales from our collective memories, recounting the rush of our first concerts and the bittersweet evolution of ticket prices that has since shaped the concert-going landscape.

Transport yourself to the heart of iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and the more intimate havens like Bowery Ballroom as we traverse the sacred spaces that have hosted the soundtracks of our lives. From the electrifying comeback performance of Phil Lesh to the unexpected letdown of a RatDog show, we relive the highs and lows that have defined our musical journeys. The anecdotes shared span the gamut from backstage shenanigans to the cherished impact of classic concert recordings and films that have become as much a part of us as the live experiences themselves.

Whether you're a seasoned ticket stub collector or new to the allure of live music, this episode is a heartfelt tribute to the power of performance and the eternal chase for the next unforgettable show.

03 Sep 2024Episode 024 - Top 10 First Songs on First Albums00:23:22

Send us a text

We’re trying something new on the show this week – a Top 10 List! Our first Top 10 list counts down the best first songs from an act’s debut album. We find it really interesting to see how new bands present themselves to the public right from the start. And what’s the best way for a new band or artist to make a good first impression? Put out a great first song, and put that song at the beginning of the act’s first album. 

 

Interestingly, most acts in the pre-streaming age didn’t do the second part – there are actually very few debut albums from the most influential acts across the decades of rock-n-roll music that start with the best song on the album. So we’re looking at the best of those first songs on first albums – and we want to hear from you to see how we did….what’d we get right? Wrong? Let us know in the comments, as you follow along with the Top 10 First Songs on an Act’s First Album, this week on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!

24 Dec 2024Episode 039 - Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes Concert Review00:21:13

Send us a text

This week, I review the recent Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes show that I saw on Dec. 6, 2024 at The Warehouse at FTC in Fairfield, CT. It ended up being the band's third to last show ever, as Johnny Lyon retired from performing for health reasons just a week later after being forced to leave the stage just a few songs into his final performance. So this show takes on extra meaning, and I have a lot of thoughts. So please join me for my review of the Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes show, this week on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!
