Show Notes
Scot and Ivar prep for winter and discuss what is the best early Christmas music to play. We walk through a CFNY music meeting in 1985, discuss the second Specials album and Bob Marley's landmark 'Live at the Lyceum'. We go back 40 years when we started writing down all the concerts that came to Toronto one of which was Hawkwind at the DIamond Club in 1990, followed by Bob Dylan's The Rolling Thunder Tour in 1975, Miles Davis at Massey, Styx and Bad Company at the Gardens. Ivar talks ZZ Top vs. The Scorpions, Scot talks about one of Toronto's very first discos and the Son of Stiff Tour. As we move into the 2000's Sirirus and XM start up in Canada. The Hives make their first visit, remember the band Enigma? We jump back to 1965 and talk Beatles - Rubber Soul and the Stones - December's Children, Jack White & Eminem, The Fall t-shirt on Stranger Things, Junos do the right thing, and this week's new Beatles Anthology.
