Show notes

"Pollstar has released their yearly mid year report on live music and the results are good. People are going out and spending money. The one downside is ticket pricing and ticket gouging on secondary markets."

Rock School - 09/11/22 (Spinal Tap Inspirations) Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

"This week in history, Jimi Hendrix played a concert and RF traffic came through his amplifier. It was his single coil pickups and being too close to a radio source. It became the inspiration for the Air Force base scene in Spinal Tap. We have collected a good number of other inspirations and where the idea for the movie came from."

"Now and again, two music artists from seemingly opposite ends of the musical spectrum get together and create a hit. But how did they get together? How did the song come to be? We'll tell you the story of as many as we could find."

Rock School - 08/21/22 (Stadium Concerts) Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

"What was the first stadium concert. Beatles. Are you sure Stadium concerts are becoming more common because of both financial decisions and an effort to be less taxing on the artist. It sounds the opposite of what you would think. We will explain it all."

Rock School - 08/14/22 (UFO) Aug 11, 2022

Show notes

"Maybe there is life out there. Maybe UFOs have visited us. The government is even admitting there is a pretty good chance. However, many musicians already believe it and many say they have seen a UFO. Some state they have been taken aboard their starship and headed for the sky."

Rock School - 08/07/22 (Revived by TV) Aug 04, 2022
