Saturday Night Live S01e01

Last year, Clapton hosted and curated the seventh instalment of his Crossroads Guitar Festival on September 23 and 24 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. It notably marked the event's return after a four-year break, selling out the iconic arena on both days. Once again, Clapton carefully assembled a powerhouse cohort of influential guitarists representing various eras and styles.

Ryan Bingham needed peace and quiet to write. He relocated to the mountains of California, embracing the solitude to dig down deep and craft his most powerful album yet, 'Fear and Saturday Night.' Bingham was actually in the back of a van when he wrote 'The Weary Kind,' the centerpiece of the film 'Crazy Heart' starring Jeff Bridges. It earned him an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy, and skyrocketed him into the spotlight.

Connors' strong Saturday Night Special is most notable for "Valentine Love," a Top Ten black singles hit. The romantic ballad, a duet between Michael Henderson and Jean Carn, arrived in time for February 14 and also peaked on the Top 100 of the pop chart. One can't help but feel that the whole LP is truly Carn's show, as she contributes her rich voice to a number of stylistically varied numbers.

The beloved, historic & previously unreleased recording by the famous Guitar Trio: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco De Lucia – ‘Saturday Night in San Francisco’ will be released on July 1st, 2022.

A funny thing happened on the way to Dead & Company’s last three scheduled tour dates of 2017. Well, not so funny from the standpoint of John Mayer, whose appendicitis attack and subsequent emergency surgery on December 5th necessitated postponement until the following February of the show scheduled for that night in New Orleans and the remaining two dates in Florida. But hey… if you’re gonna strand several thousand music-hungry fans anywhere, you could hardly pick a better place than New Orleans, birthplace of so much of our shared cultural heritage and a town where music and good times (and great food!) are continuously and abundantly available.

EXCEPTIONAL 1975 TOUR BROADCAST RECORDING\n• Following the release of their debut album in August 1973, Lynyrd Skynyrd\x27s fan base continued to grow rapidly, partly due to their opening slot on the Who\x27s Quadrophenia tour in the United States. Their 1974 follow\-up, Second Helping, featuring Ed King, Allen Collins and Gary Rossington all collaborating with Ronnie Van Zant on the songwriting, cemented the band\x27s breakthrough. Its single ‘Sweet Home Alabama’, reached #8 on the charts that August. Second Helping reached No. 12 in 1974, eventually going multi\-platinum in July of that year.\n• By 1975, personal issues began to take their toll on the group; in January, drummer Bob Burns left the band after suffering a mental breakdown during a European tour and was replaced by Kentucky native and former US Marine Artimus Pyle. The band\x27s third album, Nuthin\x27 Fancy, was recorded in 17 days and released in March ’74 to great success, being Skynyrd’s first to reach the US Top Ten. Midway through the Nuthin\x27 Fancy tour, guitarist Ed King abruptly left the band after falling out with Van Zant. Van Zant and King\x27s guitar roadie was arrested the day before and spent the night in jail. With his guitar roadie unavailable, King played that night\x27s show with old strings that broke and caused his performance to be substandard, and Van Zant subsequently belittled him in front of his bandmates.\n• The tour was the group’s first to venture outside the US, and included many dates across Europe throughout November and December 1974, but they returned back to the States for Christmas. The jaunt continued in the New Year on their home\-turf however, and during this leg, Skynyrd’s finest show took place at Winterland in San Francisco on 27th April ’75, featuring the band at the top of their game. It was also one of the last shows featuring the original three\-guitar line\-up, Ed King left, as noted above, shortly thereafter.\n• Previously unreleased, this entire concert is now available on this new CD.
