Episode 184: Concert Report: Richard Blade/ABC/Howard Jones (2025)

With support from legendary KROQ/1st Wave DJ Richard Blade, 80's New Wave icons Howard Jones and ABC just finished an incredible string of U.S. live dates, and your intrepid hosts were there for the penultimate show of the tour!

Brian and Sarah take you back in time exactly one week as they relive the excitement of the 2/28/25 show at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA. And they are joined by friend of the show Mike Kilczewski, the creative mind behind Philadelphia's 80's band Dorian Gräe and current project Syd Dorian, to tackle such diverse topics as: - Meet & Greet with Howard Jones. - Richard Blade's wonderful opening presentation. - The highlights of ABC and Howard's sets. - Recording in Philly as an independent artist in the 1980s. - The world's most dangerous and traffic-filled road. - Our favorite NFL team and the town with the best name. - Buying records before the show. - Filming music videos at malls. - Update on Howard Jones's next album, "Global Citizen."
