The underground side of classic rock is explored as we find very awesome Grand Funk Railroad, Blue Oyster Cult, Uriah Heep, Foghat, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Hot Tuna, and Black Oak Arkansas tracks, then mix in some fairly unknown 70s tracks, with some newer tracks that fit the scheme well. Special attention to the two of wine songs: James Luther Dickinson, Michael Chapman, and Green On Red.

A rock show disguised as an electronic show. Well, there ARE some easily ID’d ‘electronic’ tracks, but there are also some rock tracks done by unlikely folks, such as Sweden’s Albion and Munich’s Leroy. Ian Dury’s son Baxter Dury has a nice track – in fact, many nice tracks in this show.

Rock show of ‘S’ bands played alphabetically. We start with The Saints and end with Belgium band The Strings. All tracks are vinyl spun in real time, except the first track by Silverhead, which is on a CD and gives me time to balance the tone arms and prepare the turntables for the show proper.

Rock show that has a logic that can’t be linearly perceived – you just have to be there. Eras, genres, and regions criss-cross a bunch. The only thing that is consistent is that I 100% endorse every track laid down for you here.

All vinyl rock show with some fave artists of mine, evident straight from the start with The Only Ones, and at the very end with La Peste (both absolute favorites of mine). Scottish band The Flowers only released two 7″, but we hear a non-7″ track from a Fast Product comp. The Do It Now! Track is a must hear, and the Further track is one of their best.
