Good morning, musicologists! We return to the work week today, but we’ve got you covered from the music perspective, including some rare ‘live’ Beatles later!
Here’s your Monday, Monday music:
10:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Badfinger
This band was one of the best ever signed to Apple Records, with a string of great hits in the seventies beginning with Come And Get It which was written by Lennon-McCartney. But Pete Ham continued the hits with Day After Day and No Matter What. And who can forget the closing scenes of Breaking Bad and Pete Ham’s Baby Blue playing through the final scene?
4:00 p.m. All Fired Up: Various Artists
Not an EP, but darned close. You’ll hear Basia, Electric Light Orchestra, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Three Dog Night, Ann Peebles, the Marshall Tucker Band, Patti Smith, Hoyt Axton, Gram Parsons, Stevie Nicks, Steely Dan, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!
8:00 p.m. The Beatles Live at The Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA, August 23, 1964 NEW!
The Beatles were not road warriors, mostly because they became frustrated that their music was not being ‘heard’ by the screaming, teeming masses. They remember the Hollywood Bowl performances fondly, however, even though their crowds were not the biggest by today’s standards. But back in 1964, 18,700 fans attending a concert was pretty formidable. The opening acts for this show were The Righteous Brothers and Jackie DeShannon.
We embark on another week together and we promise to do all we can to make your work week tolerable by offering up some of the best music on the planet. Yes, it’s all free 24/7 and there is absolutely no commercial advertising. The button is below.
