Gram Parsons was a true visionary of country rock who advanced the genre with The International Submarine Band, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, through his association with the great Emmylou Harris, and as a solo artist. The only thing that kept him from greatness, as with so many others, was drugs. He died at the age of 26 from an overdose of alcohol and morphine. Here in The Lounge, we do not focus on his tragic death, but rather on what he was able to achieve.

Here’s your musical Monday lineup:

7:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live at The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, Recorded January 31-February 7, 1997, Part One

Back in 1997, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers played a 20-night, sold-out residency at The Fillmore West where they broke the rules and the mold, tossing out their set lists and allowing the fans to suggest songs to sing. The result? Each night, a different set list. Petty announced to the crowd, “We all feel this might be the high point of our time together as a group. It’s going to be hard to get us off this stage tonight.” And that was a very good thing. We will air the first part tonight. The next two parts will be aired Wednesday and Thursday of this week. (Because Tuesday is Bluesday only.)

Not only is this a great day to tune us in, but it’ll be a great week to tune us in as we’ll focus on our two House Bands, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and The Beatles. Join us. We’re totally free and we accept no commercial advertising. We’re not-for-profit music 24/7.
