Here’s a great Bad Company Behind the Music feature from VH1 to continue our Bad Company focus from the last couple of days. Lots of interesting history with regards to Bad Company and Free. Enjoy……
I couldn’t agree more with John Mellencamp’s comments about Paul’s voice…..absolutely perfect!
Today’s Monday Matinee post is almost certainly the greatest assemblage of musical talent on any concert bill. Some might argue that a few of the music festivals that would occur later in the 60’s had more talent but these were multi day events, not a concert. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you agree with me but I’m betting that one look at the list of performers provided below will make this an easy decision for you.

I have a special treat for you today. A great documentary about, Jefferson Airplane, the best of the San Francisco bands from the 1960s. This is true rock history, some amazing rock music, and a chance to observe the beautiful and talented Grace Slick in her prime. Enjoy……
As I mentioned yesterday’s The Head and the Heart post, the band has a new album (Let’s Be Still) that will be released tomorrow. As a lead in for that release, I thought you would enjoy hearing their great single, Shake, from the new album.
While you are waiting to pick up your copy of Let’s Be Still tomorrow you might enjoy this 4 part video of the band visiting Lawrence High School. It’s part interview and part live session. I think you will like it.

Here’s a an interesting TV profile of Crosby, Stills, and Nash from 1987. It’s brutal but very interesting at the same time. You might want to look away but I suggest you watch………
In my continuing effort to make up for all of the political posts I have made you read over the last two weeks, tonight I’m offering up a double shot of REM unplugged. One from 1991, one from 2001, and both absolutely wonderful. Enjoy…..
REM Unplugged (MTV 4/10/1991)
REM Unplugged #2 (2001) – Sorry about the advertisement at the beginning of the show!
If you listened to the 1991 unplugged show you might have noticed the band playing the official theme song of tonight’s Government Shutdown drama……It’s The End Of The World As We Know It.
