Monday Brings Our ‘Out In The Cold’ Playlist, Then the Gregg Allman Band and The Grateful Dead, October 28, 2024

4:00 p.m. The Gregg Allman Band Live at Wolfgang’s, San Francisco, CA, May 14, 1987

Afternoon brings a live performance from Gregg Allman’s ‘other’ band at Wolfgang’s. Back in the day, Wolfgang’s was the place, a small 600-seat venue which is now defunct. Still, it’s easier to remember who did not play the venue than those who did. It was that popular.

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of The Grateful Dead

I’m one of those people who likes the Dead’s studio music better than their live performances. Founding member and bass player Phil Lesh passed away this past week, and we air this in honor of him today.

Yes, it’s a return to the work day today. Mondays are always rough, but we can get you through! We’re on 24/7 with no commercial interruption playing the best music on the planet. And we’re free. Just close your door and pull up a tab. The button is below.

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of The Bee Gees NEW!

There are a lot of before-and-after bands, like The Doobies before Michael McDonald (the old Doobies were better). Before the Bee Gees somehow managed to immerse themselves in disco, there was a really great and innovative rock band in there. That is the band we celebrate with this playlist. You won’t hear Stayin’ Alive here or any other Bee Gees music from that phase. That’s a promise.

The Brothers bring it to the Atlanta International Pop Festival to close out Saturday’s musical festivities. But the music continues 24/7.

8:00 p.m. The Jefferson Airplane Live at The Matrix Club, San Francisco, CA, February 1, 1968

We close out the programming with an iconic sixties band whose music helped propel the psychedelic music movement of the times.

We’re Weekenders! We’ve Got ‘Color My World,’ Paul Simon and Queen On Tap! It’s Saturday, October 19, 2024

Woke up this morning to a headline that Salem, Massachusetts has had 666K visitors so far this Halloween, a record number. I hope there are more coming. 666 is not a good number to be floating around on Halloweek. IYKYK. But we’re safe here in The Lounge!

Here’s your Saturday music:

9:00 a.m. Color My World: Various Artists

Songs that include colors in the title, lyrics or both from the above pictured along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Donovan, Booker T & The MGs, Donovan, Electric Light Orchestra, Procol Harum, The Who, Amy Winehouse, Sam & Dave, Badfinger, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, Jefferson Airplane, The Hollies, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Cream, Marvin Gaye, Lucinda Williams and more!

4:00 p.m. Paul Simon Live at The Beacon Theater, New York, NY, December 8, 2000 NEW!

We play plenty of Paul Simon, but this is the first live performance we’ve aired. It will be one of as many as we can find (and we have more already in waiting).

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Queen

Here’s something we don’t play a lot of: Arena Rock, Glam Rock. Not our favorite genre here in The Lounge, but Queen is a bit different. They’ve made more good than bad, but we like early Queen and the days of Keep Yourself Alive and Killer Queen as opposed to what they later morphed into.

We’ve finally made it to the weekend. Not going to lie, going back to hardware hell after nine glorious days of vacation was more than tough, but it had to be done. We’re here and we’re totally free. And there’s no commercial advertising. The button is below.

Legend has it that Stills was accompanying Judy Collins to her recording session at A & R, but she finished with time left on the clock. Stephen Stills is rumored to have paid the engineer privately to help him cut this album full of demos, later called Just Roll Tape.
