What a fantastic way to start out the day! To a man, The Heartbreakers believed this was the pinnacle of their career. It was a legendary 20-night residency at one of the most iconic music venues in the world where they threw away the script and every night was a new show. It showcased the brilliance and road resilience of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

2:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Irma Thomas

A contemporary of both Aretha Franklin and Etta James, somehow Irma Thomas kind of fell through the cracks and never reached the heights she should have. That is, of course, except in New Orleans, where she is still known as ‘The Soul Queen of New Orleans.’ Indeed, she is.

6:00 p.m. Here Comes The Night: Various Artists

It’s a rarity, as we give you an EP to take you late into the evening. We may be doing more of this come fall so that we can spread the wealth to our overseas listeners.

Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Them, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, The Kinks, Electric Prunes, Phoebe Snow, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, The Traveling Wilburys, Steve Winwood, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Cliff, Bonnie Raitt, Poco, Emmylou Harris, and more!

We kick off the day with our ‘Summer of Love Countdown’ playlist. Contrary to popular (and misinformed) opinion, this was during the summer of 1967, not 1969, my friends. We’ve culled the best songs being played across the nation during that time from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Association, The Rascals, Bobbie Gentry, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Spanky & Our Gang, The Hollies, Petula Clark, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Rivers, The Box Tops, Procol Harum, Scott McKenzie, The Grass Roots, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Paul Revere & The Raiders and more!

4:00 p.m. Creedence Clearwater Revival Live at The Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, July 4, 1971

We tune in this afternoon to four guys from Berkeley, CA who sounded like they came straight out of the Louisiana bayou. CCR was a spectacular band whose music has stood the test of time.

8:00 p.m. Carly Simon Live at Grand Central Station, New York, NY, April 2, 1995

This impromptu performance was the idea of Jackie Kennedy Onassis to commemorate their friendship and to address Simon’s stage fright problem. April 2, 1995, was her first live performance in 14 years, where she and her band performed songs for unsuspecting commuters in the main terminal.

Once again, we’re here and we’re completely free of charge. There’s also no commercial advertising. See for yourselves. The button is below, my friends.
