Some listeners like this version better that the Joan Baez version we’ve played before. Here’s the version by The Band of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” Which one do you prefer??
Another great song from REO Speedwagon, one of my favorite bands of the 1970s. It’s off their “You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish” album and rose to #58 on the charts, their biggest hit at so far. The band made a music video for the song–well before there was MTV–and it became popular on that music channel when it first took off. Still a great song…
Who remembers the iconic music video for this song from 1986, featuring puppets from the 1980s British sketch show Spitting Image? “Land of Confusion” is by the English rock band Genesis from their 1986 album Invisible Touch and it reached No. 4 in the U.S. in late 1986.

So, here we have video from an entire concert back in 1980, at the Capitol Center in Largo, Maryland. Is the video quality great? No. Is the sound quality great? Also, no. But you can FEEL the energy of…
Another great LIVE video! Not only do the Satellites have fun with the audience participation portion of “Keep Your Hands to Yourself” but they also transition seamlessly into the Rolling Stones classic “It’s Only Rock and Roll.” “Keep Your Hands to Yourself” was written by the group’s lead singer, Dan Baird, and was released in 1986 as their debut single from their self-titled first album which ultimately reached #2 on…
