Madison Square Garden – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, musicologists. Welcome to the next New England heat wave and a return to the work week. Yeah, but things are cool here in The Mermaid Lounge.

Here’s your Monday musical lineup:

10:00 a.m. The Concert for Bangladesh: George Harrison & Friends

This was the very first concert of its kind, where musicians gathered to raise money and help others, and it was a major undertaking. Held in New York’s Madison Square Garden on August 1, 1971, George Harrison and his friends held two shows. Besides George, Ringo Starr, Ravi Shankar, Leon Russell, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Jim Keltner, Billy Preston, and many others took part in the event.

4:00 p.m. Hot Tuna Live at Sweet Water Concert Hall, Mill Valley, CA, January 27 & 28, 1992

A great blues-rock band born out of the ashes of Jefferson Airplane, led by Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. One of the absolute best.

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Yusuf/Cat Stevens

We close out Monday in fine style with a great ‘Spotlight’ featuring the amazing Yusuf/Cat Stevens.

We’re here 24/7, not just when there’s programming, and we’re streaming the best music on the planet…for free. No strings. No lie. No commercials. Ever. The button is below.
