The Work Week Begins With The Supergroups, Live Warren Zevon, and Fillmore Week With Hot Tuna on Monday, April 29, 2024

Good morning, music lovers. We start off the day today with music from the Supergroups, then we have two live shows coming up, and one that kicks off Fillmore Week here!

Here’s your Monday musical lineup:

10:00 a.m. Sounds of The Supergroups: Various Artists UPDATED!

We start the day paying respect to the Supergroups who have given us so much great music, like CSNY, The Traveling Wilburys, Supertramp, Manassas, Cream, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Trio (nobody ever talks about Ronstadt-Harris-Parton as a Supergroup but that’s exactly what they were), The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings & Kris Kristofferson), Derek & The Dominos, Blind Faith, and The Super, Super Blues Group (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Bo Diddley).

4:00 p.m. Warren Zevon Live at The Barrymore Theater, New York, NY, November 22, 1999 NEW!

We’ve got some new-to-the-station live Warren Zevon today. I saw Mr. Bad Example live at the Berklee College of Music back in the day and everyone was pissed off that he was two hours late and we had to listen to 52 versions of Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart while waiting for him. But once he started singing, all was forgiven. It was a great show.

7:00 p.m. FILLMORE WEEK: Hot Tuna Live at The Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, March 4, 1988

We kick off Fillmore Week with a great blues-rock band in Hot Tuna, built out of the ashes of The Jefferson Airplane by Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. Over the years, members have come and gone, but Casady and Kaukonen have always been the anchors.

Join us today, folks. It’s a great day for a test drive. We’re on 24/7 at no cost to you. And that’s not an “introductory” offer or a bait-and-switch. No surprises. We’re free with no commercial advertising to boot. Just use the button below!

Here’s today’s lesson:

December 30, 1957: Sam Cooke’s You Send Me finished the year as the #1 R & B song where it spent the previous six weeks.

December 30, 1961: This year it was the Marvelettes finishing up a seventh week at #1 on the R & B chart with Please Mr. Postman.

December 30, 1962: The Chiffons released the single He’s So Fine.

December 30, 1965: The Who, The Hollies, The Kinks, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Manfred Mann, and Georgie Fame performed on the popular TV show, Shindig.

December 30, 1967: The Beatles were still tearing up the charts. Their new album release, Magical Mystery Tour, climed from #157 to #4 in one week.

As if that wasn’t enough, The Beatles also had their 51st hit, their 25th Top 10 song in four years, and 15th #1 with the song Hello Goodbye.
