The Drive's Live at 5 for the week of November 23-27, 2009
Posted:Saturday, 11/21/2009 at 06:11pm by Bobby Skafish
Monday, November 23: Talking Heads
We do 2 from Stop Making Sense, the soundtrack to what Rolling Stone called the "greatest concert movie ever." Personally, I like what The Boss said, "on any given night, any band can be the greatest rock and roll band in the world." That said, great flick. Amazon reviewers think so, as they collectively rate it the full 5 stars. The Blu-ray version was released last month.

Tuesday, November 24: Kansas
The same day (10/13) the Blu-ray Stop Making sense came out, so did did the Kansas in-concert extravaganza There's No Place Like Home, realeased on DVD and Blu-ray. Unlike the Talking Heads film, this is its first release. You get Kansas on home turf (hence, the title) celebrating their 35 year history, complete with guest shots from former members Kerry Livgren, who was once their songwriter, and guitarist Steve Morse, as well as the Washburn University Orchestra.

Wednesday, November 25: Neil Young
On this Live at 5 we offer Neil Young solo and with Crazy Horse. Just askin': is/was Neil Young a good fit with Crosby, Stills & Nash? Beer and chocolate cake: dynamite separately, but together?

Thursday, November 26: Led Zeppelin
On this day we give thanks for the recorded legacy of Led Zeppelin.

Friday, November 27: Sting
His Stingness performs 2 Police tunes without Stewart or Andy - one solo and one with his first post-Police touring band. Hey, he wrote'm.

Monday, November 16: Styx
Styx 'n' Stones will rock yer bones on the Drives Live at 5: this date finds the post-Dennis DeYoung Styx in St. Louis and with Dennis in Rosemont...

Tuesday, November 17: The Rolling Stones
...while this Live at 5 rolls the Stones. Available now, The Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya Ya's Out 40th Aniversary Deluxe Box Set, comprised of 3 CDs and a DVD. First CD is the original album while the second disc is a 5 song set from the same November, 1969 Madison Square Garden concerts. Disc 3 contains music from The Stones opening acts, B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner. The DVD contains stage performances, backstage footage as well as video from the album cover's photo shoot. Oh yeah, there's also a 56 page booklet.

Wednesday, November 17: Paul McCartney
Released 11/17: Good Evening New York City, the 2 CD/1 DVD set (2 DVDs at Best Buy) from Paul's 3 sold-out nights at NYC's Citi Field in July of this year. 2 hours, 40 minutes of 33 songs from his entire career. The Deluxe Edition DVD includes McCartney's entire performance atop the marquee at New York's Ed Sullivan Theater for The Late Show with David Letterman, where allegedly Dave copped an illicit feel while everyone had their eyes on Paul.

Thursday, November 19: Yes
Yes is touring Europe in November, again with a substitute for original vocalist Jon Anderson, who bowed out of previous recent roadwork with Yes due to respitory ailments. Yet this November finds Jon doing solo dates in North America. Whatev.

Friday, November 20: Joe Walsh
Happy birthday, Joe! It's 15 years of sobriety now for this guy who once seemed the unlikeliest candidate for straight livin'. He credits a 1989 experience in Otatara Pa, New Zealand as sowing the seeds of his recovery: "I had a moment of clarity. I don't understand it but I reconnected with my soul, and I remembered who I used to be. I admitted that I had problems and I had to do something about it. When I got back to America it gave me the courage to seek help."

Monday, November 9: The Drive A-Z

Tuesday, November 10: Emerson Lake & Palmer
In June of 1997, ELP played Poland for the first time. A live CD was originally released in '98 when ELP gave special permission to the Polish promoter so he could recoup some of the money he lost on the show. Originally intended as a local release, it soon became available worldwide, to the vexation of ELP. Hence, released with full band approval: Emerson Lake & Palmer Live in Poland, released in 2004 and sampled today, on The Drive's Live at 5. Oh, and happy birthday, Greg Lake!

Wednesday, November 11: Peter Gabriel
How's about 2 from Secret World Live, Peter Gabriel's second live album, which was released in 1994? A concert film was released at the same time, with the same track listing, except Red Rain being dropped in favor of San Jacinto.

Thursday, November 12: Bob Seger
I'm guessing you know what the album cover to Seger's Night Moves looks like - frontal shot of Bob with a full moon. This was actually the hastily assembled second album cover; thw first featured a rear view shot of a woman in a short skirt, approved by Seger but deemed sexist (how about plain ol' cheesy?) by the record company. I'm glad common sense prevailed-classy music deserves classy packaging.

Friday, November 13: INXS
Remember the TV show Rock Star: INXS? A replacement for INXS frontman, the late Michael Hutchence, was chosen on this reality TV show. Earlier this year, winner J.D. Fortune claimed INXS casually dropped him from the band in a Hong Kong airport, after 23 months of touring, with hasty handshakes and thank-yous, but without a ticket home to Canada! Fortune admits to heavy cocaine use during the tour but says he subsequently cleaned up. For their part, INXS disputed his account of events.

Posted:Saturday, 10/24/2009 at 05:10pm by Bobby Skafish
Monday, October 26: John Mellencamp
This year's annual Farm Aid concert was in Maryland Hts., Missouri, just ouside St. Louis. Of course, John Mellencamp performed, and for a rousing Authority Song encore, so did his 14 year old son, Spike. 24,000 were out of their seats singing along while Spike rocked out on guitar. The ol' man called it Spike's "tryout" for the band.

Tuesday, October 27: Foghat
Fun Foghat facts: They formed in 1971, with 3 out 4 members coming over from Savoy Brown...Todd Rundgren produced their 1972 debut...In 1993, after numerous personnel changes, the original quartet reunited at the urging of producer Rick Rubin...Their 2003 2 cd set Decades Live features 4 songs recorded in Chicago in 1980.

Wednesday, October 28: Elton John
Elton and lyricist Bernie Taupin have written songs for a flick called Gnomeo and Juliet, an updated version of Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers involving, um, garden gnomes. Hope you can wait 'til 2011.

Thursday, October 29: Fleetwood Mac
The last time Fleetwood Mac came around I took a few calls wondering whether Christine Mc Vie would be in the band. After the band's 1998 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Grammy Awards show, and the BRIT Awards in the UK she retired from Fleetwood Mac altogether. She returned to her native England and stepped out of public view almost completely. She did, however, releaase a fine solo album in 2004, titled In The Meantime, working with her nephew and recording in her converted barn in the town of Kent.

Friday, October 30: Creedence Clearwater Revival
CCR was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 by Bruce Springsteen. From here, it gets ugly. Creedence main man John Fogerty, nursing a decades old grudge, refused to appear onstage with former bandmates Stu Cook and Doug Clifford. When it came time for music, Fogerty took the stage with an all-star band, including Bruce, to play Creedence hits. Cook & Clifford rose out of their seats and walked out - could you blame them? Springsteen later wrote the two a letter trying to smooth things out, but the damage was done.

Monday, October 19: The Doobie Brothers
Live Doobs on the birthday of Patrick Simmons, charter member and the only Doobie Brother present on every album and every tour. Patrick wrote and sang the band's first #1, Black Water. He has a passion for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, in case you're stumped on what present to give him.

Tuesday, October 20: Tom Petty
And doggone it, happy birthday Tom Petty. On November 24, Tom & The Heartbreakers will release their career-spanning Live Anthology, a 4 disc set of the live goods, with no overdubs and creative cover choices from The Dead, The Zombies & James Brown to go with all those great Petty originals.

Wednesday, October 21: Kansas
Kansas plays The Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet on December 4th. Saw them at Navy Pier's Skyline Stage in '94 and they rocked. Singer Steve Walsh split in 1981 but rejoined 4 years later.

Thursday, October 22: Janis Joplin
Spotlight at 5 is on Janis as we feature Voices of Rock on this day. Unfortunately, Janis Joplin did not live to enjoy Me And Bobby McGee's release, let alone it's ascension to #1 in early 1971 - crazy lethal thing called drugs. Otis Redding also didn't live to see his Dock Of The Bay go to the top of the charts in early '68, as a December, 1967 plane crash in Madison claimed his life.

Friday, October 23: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Skynyrd was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, on their 7th nomination! A surprising lobbyist for their enshrinement was Courtney Love.

Monday, October 12: The Kinks
November 10 will bring The Kinks Choral Collection, a Ray Davies collaboration with the 65 voice-strong Crouch End Festival Chorus on retooled versions of Kinks klassics. There will be a U.S tour as well, beginning in November, which at this point does not include Chicago.

Tuesday, October 13: Chicago
Some live Chicago to celebrate the birthday of charter member/singer/songwriter/keyboard master Robert Lamm.
Interesting article by Jae-Ha Kim about Robert in the Trib's travel section a few months back. His fave vacation spot is Munster, Germany and he says his "elegant" wife is a packing genius that taught him how to get a great deal into a carry-on bag. This intrigues me.

Wednesday, October 14: Heart
Kiddies, take Heart: Ann Wilson's children's book, Dog & Butterfly, and sister Nancy's lullabies album, Baby Guitars, were released October 6 exclusively on Amazon.com. Our Live at 5 Heart is an adult dose and will NOT put you to sleep.

Thursday, October 15: Electric Light Orchestra
Fun facts about ELO: They were managed by Don Arden, Sharon Osbourne's dad..in 1979 they were England's top-selling act...Jeff Lynne, who wrote and arranged all their originals after their debut album, and produced them all, was also a Travelling Wilbury...and ELO holds the record in the U.S. for having the most top 40 hits (20) without having a #1 hit single.

Friday, October 16: Santana
In August, Carlos and the band hit the recording studio to begin a new album, to be released in late spring or early summer of 2010. With the Santana debut put out shortly after their 1969 Woodstock appearance, this new one will put Santana in the 6 Decade Club!

Monday, October 5: Steve Miller
Happy birthday, Space Cowboy, or is it Gangster of Love! Love the in-concert DVD that comes with the 30th Anniversary Edition Surround Sound Fly Like An Eagle. Have seen parts of Steve Miller Band Live from Chicago (Highland Park, actually!)on WTTW. Now Steve Miller will be at the WTTW studio on Chicago's northwest side for a Soundstage taping November 4, to be aired in the new year.

Tuesday, October 6: REO Speedwagon
REO singer Kevin Cronin is also blowing out candles today. "Not So Silent Night - Christmas With REO Speedwagon" will be released October 27. The band will be doing 13 Christmas songs, including Silent Night, Little Drummer Boy and The First Noel. The CD also includes John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War Is Over), the royalties to which will be donated to the John Lennon Foundation. Retooling Time For Me To Fly for Santa's reindeer, dudes?

Wednesday, October 7: Jehtro Tull
This is the date for Ian Anderson playing accoustic Tull at Chicago's Vic Theatre. Rollingstone.com/rockdaily has an interesting item: they asked their readers to name acts that have been overlooked by The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame; Jethro Tull finished in 10th place. 9th was Lou Reed, Deep Purple was #8, personal fave Alice Cooper was #5, The Moody Blues were 3rd, Rush 2nd, and #1 should-be-in-the-hall was..."Weird Al" Yankovic (?!).

Thursday, October 8: The Drive's Album Sides Thursday
Enjoy - it's the vinyl solution!

Friday, October 9: The Who
Who warbler Roger Daltrey finished #61 when Rolling Stone published their "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" list and Roger refers to his marvellous instrument by naming his solo trek the "Use It Or Lose It" tour. He's playing our House Of Blues November 2 and he'll have Townshend on guitar - Simon Townshend, that is, Pete's bro. Daltrey promises solo tunes, covers (including Johnny Cash) and Who classics.

So, have a name to add to the should-be-in-the-Hall-are-those-guys-nuts list above? Then use the Add Comments link below.

Monday, September 28: Queen
Say you'd like some Queen in your collection but you're holding out for their "absolute greatest?" You're in luck, then, 'cuz Queen: Absolute Greatest will be released November 17. It's 20 of their, um, absolute greatest hits, coming out in 4 different configurations - 6, if you count the digital download options. One version walks your dog and flosses your teeth.

Tuesday, September 29: Van Morrison
It's Van at The Chicago Theatre performing early album Astral Weeks, while on Live @ 5 we play an 11 minute-plus medley of 2 songs that has gotten the best response/most inquiries of anything I've ever played on the feature. Don't just hear a snatch of it then have to play catch up!

Wednesday, September 30: Supertramp
Princes William & Harry revealed in an interview in 2007 that their mother, the late Princess Diana, used to dance around her palace to Supertramp music, which rendered the lads "rather embarrassed." Ex-Supertramper Roger Hodgson performed Give A Little Bit at the concert that honored her on the 10th anniversary of her death, held at London's Wembley stadium in summer of 2007.

Thursday, October 1: The Beatles
I guess it's unanimous: the same Beatles album that won The Drive's Album Madness competition in March over 63 others also took the Rolling Stone Magazine readers poll for Best Beatles Album and sold the most remastered copies in it's first week of release - Abbey Road. Enjoy The Drive's Thursday Artist Portrait of The Beatles all day long.

Friday, October 2: Billy Joel
One for you, one for the in-laws? Billy Joel has put his adjacent oceanfront properties in Sagaponack (The Hamptons) up for sale. The larger one (purchased from the late Roy Scheider, of Jaws fame) is going for $22.5 million. The smaller one's asking price is $12.5 million.

We love postings - tell us about a concert you've seen recently, or whatever. See Add Comments link below.

Monday, September 21: America
You don't need "The Hoff" to tell you America's got talent, which is on display Thursday, 9/24 at The Genesee Theatre in Waukegan. America originally consisted of 3 sons of American dads (military personnel stationed in London) and British moms. Charter member Dan Peek split in 1977 to record & perform Christian music. This music did not, as several America albums did, benefit from production by George Martin.

Tuesday, September 22: The Police
Ronnie Wood told a story about The Stones being backstage while on tour and, being The Stones, ingesting something naughty. Their road manager entered and announced "The police are here," which prompted The Stones to flush their naughty wares down the toilet upon which Sting, Stewart Copeland & Andy Summers entered the room.

Wednesday, September 23: Thin Lizzy
A couple tracks from Still Dangerous, recorded at Philly's Tower Theatre in 1977, unearthed decades later, and released in March of 2009 after being remixed and remastered by the esteemed Glyn Johns, noted for producing The Stones and The Who, among others. I have to laugh when I see the Lizzy hardcore deducting "stars" from their Amazon reviews because, while they acknowledge it's awesomeness, this disc doesn't contain the entire concert. My understanding is the first rule of show business is "always leave them wanting more."

Thursday, September 24: The Eagles
Warning: Smoking may be hazardous to your job! In his book "Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)" fired guitarist Don Felder tells a story about The Eagles being on tour on the other side of the world (China?) where Glenn Frey's fave cigarettes were not sold. Glenn had an employee back home overnight him some, then proceeded to fire the dude for sending soft packs instead of fliptop boxes.

Friday, September 25: Eric Clapton
A few items I remember from Eric's autobiography: E.C. once arrived in Tulsa from a flight, so drunk the arresting coppers couldn't believe it was him, so they handed him a guitar and told him to play as a means of confirming his identity...he collects super- expensive watches...he never works out...he didn't want to record Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff, brought to the 461 Ocean Boulervard sessions by guitarist George Terry, and didn't want it included on the album after he did, feeling it was that inferior to the original - naturally, it went to #1...he said George Harrison kinda lost interest when the 2 toured Japan in 1991.

Monday, September 14: Rod Stewart
I have always retained a fondness for Rod despite some dubious fashion choices (him, not me!), his American Songbook albums and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. In this day's version of Maggie May you'll hear him compliment the audience's vocalizing-along with a get's-me-every-time "Now we're singing!" Listen for it.

Tuesday, September 15: Pink Floyd
Though I don't own it, The 2 DVD set of Pink Floyd: Pulse, issued in 2006, seems pretty amazing: live Floyd in 5.1 surround sound, 4 & a half stars in hundreds of ratings on Amazon.com and a second disc chock full of extras. One extra is Billy Corgan's induction speech of Pink Floyd into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, followed by The Great Pumpkin joining David Gilmour and Richard Wright for a rendition of Wish You Were Here.

Wednesday, September 16: Stevie Nicks
Another reason to love Stevie besides the live selections from her filmed-at-WTTW Soundstage Sessions album? She has visited returning American GIs at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C., which she called a life-changing experience.

Thursday, September 17: Bruce Springsteen
It's Boss's Day on The Drive! If you go to www.brucespringsteen.net you can view an up to date list of Bruce & The E Street Band's set lists for each date on their tour - in Bruce's own scrawl! A more legible version is along side each one.

Friday, September 18: Genesis
Coming September 29, the Genesis "Live Box," reissues of the Genesis catalogue of live albums from 1973 through 2007. Contained are deluxe versions of each album on CD and DVD sets. Each DVD has 5.1 surround sound video content, making for over 6 hours of rare live concert footage. Also check out newly filmed interviews with band members. More Genesis than the bible, baby!

Monday, September 7: The Rolling Stones
Happy Labor Day! As a member of The 5 Decade Rolling Stones
Live Club, I'm remembering The Stones live at Soldier Field in the summer of '78. Also on the bill were Journey, the late Peter Tosh & Southside Johnny & The Asbury Dukes.
Just read that British police will review the 1969 death of original Stones guitarist Brian Jones, based on receiving documents from an investigative journalist that relate to Jones' death.

Tuesday, September 8: Dire Straits
Dire Straits main man Mark Knopfler will have a new solo disc, titled Lucky One, out September 15. He's plotting a 2010 tour as well: "I do get a lot of pleasure from touring and playing live. It's kind of an affirmation. It's certainly something I don't have to do financially" the richer-than-me-and-you-put-together Knopfler sez. He also added that he will dip generously into the well of Dire Straits hits when he does. I saw him at The Rosemont Theatre in 2001 and the show exceeded my expectations - always a delight.

Wednesday, September 9: Bob Seger
Seger fans will soon be able to learn a little more about this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer via previously unreleased photos and insider recollections of tour manager Tom Weschler. The book Travelin' Man: On the Road and Behind the Scenes with Bob Seger is due October 15.

Thursday, September 10: U2
Heap big rock concerts for this crew at Soldier Field 9/12 & 13 - saw 'em there on their Popmart Tour and was lucky enough to have a seat near the mini stage they played a few songs from. In early '08, U2 was at the center of a real estate project called U2 Tower in Dublin. U2 Tower would have been Ireland's tallest building, complete with a recording studio for the band and luxury apartments. The project, which looked to be stunning in on-line pics, is now on hold, a victim of sagging Irish property values.
I hope it comes back around for all concerned.

Friday, September 11: Todd Rundgren
Todd's playing the same dates as U2...at Park West. Scoff not, though, as Todd and his killer band will play 1973's fantastic A Wizard/A True Star album in its entirety, as well as other tunes. On 9/9 Todd's performance of same in Stamford, Connecticut will be recorded and filmed for early 2010 release.

Monday, August 31: Van Morrison
It's Van's birthday and he'll be performing his Astral Weeks album at The Chicago Theatre September 29. Saw Van there in '02 - great show. I remember someone complaining afterwards that Van should have played longer but I didn't agree - no "how ya doin', Chicago?" or between songs dawdling - just great song after great song. Also loved Van at The Auditorium in '85 and The Civic Opera House in '93, with the late Chicago blues great Junior Wells joining him onstage. There was one more, The Guinness Fleadh Festival in '99, when Elvis Costello sat in, but I was distracted and didn't give the show my full attention. I had done some M.C.ing that day and Senor Grumpy (VM) took a look at the extraneous people littering the back and sides of the stage and had us all expelled.

Tuesday, September 1: Blue Oyster Cult
Don't Fear The Reaper is included. Why? I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!

Wednesday, September 2: The Allman Brothers Band
It's The Allmans & Widespread Panic 9/1 & 9/2 at Charter One Pavillion. This year being the 40th anniversary of their debut album, The Allmans don't consider this just another tour and have been honoring the brother who started it all, the late Duane Allman. Fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees who went in with The Allmans in 1995? Al Green, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Martha & The Vandellas, Neil Young and Frank Zappa.

Thursday, September 3: Steely Dan
This night, featuring The Royal Scam in it's entirety, and the next, Internet Request Night, at The Chicago Theatre, will both include Larry Carlton on guitar, who soloed so rippingly on Royal Scam's Kid Charlemagne. So why did Steely Dan choose not to play any of their first 4 albums (Can't Buy A Thrill, Countdown To Ecstasy, Pretzel Logic & Katy Lied) all the way through on this tour? Donald Fagen told The Tribune's Greg Kot "The one's we're playing have a more mature style; each of the others has a track that Walter and I think is a clinker.

Friday, September 4: ZZ Top
It's ZZ Top on this night at House of Blues, a stop on what ZZ Top insiders call their "Necessity-Is-A-Mother Tour-" named due to the trek with Aerosmith being scratched. I checked the setlist for HOB in Los Angeles: the hits were present and accounted for, they covered Jimi's Foxey Lady, and a couple ringers named Slash & John Mayer joined them onstage.

Monday, August 24: Pearl Jam
My first Pearl Jam concert was at the old Chicago Stadium in March, 1994, preceded by Chicago's Urge Overkill. During it, Eddie Vedder told the crowd that he grew up here and could prove it, which he did by singing a note-perfect "5-8-8 2-3 hundred, Empire."

Tuesday, August 25: George Harrison
It must be occasionally frustrating for legendary director and music junkie Martin Scorsese: so many potential films, so little time. He begged off doing a Bob Marley film citing an overabundant workload, but the one I hope he does find time for is the authorized film documentary on George Harrison that was announced September, 2007. Harrison's widow, Olivia, was slated to produce and said "it would have given George great joy that Martin Scorsese has agreed to tell his story." So tell it, Marty!

Wednesday, August 26: Stevie Ray Vaughn
SRV played his last concert on this date in 1990, at Alpine Valley. His post-midnight post-concert chopper crash claimed his life. Stevie, though certainly taken too soon at age 35, certainly did have his house in order before his exit: He got clean and sober in '86, returned to the road a revitalized man, attending A.A. meetings and helping others by sharing his story. In '89 the fabulous In Step album was released, then Stevie fullfilled a lifelong dream by recording an album with his brother Jimmy, the fantastic Family Style, which was released the month following his death. R.I.P., brother.

Thursday, August 27: Aerosmith
Let's skip the Aerosmith litany of woes that resulted in a cancelled tour and talk about something positive coming out of the Aero-camp: drummer Joey Kramer's book, Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top. It's a fascinating, emotional read from someone you'd probably least expect. His dad whacked him around as a kid, ex-drummer Steven Tyler rode him hard, and Joey had troubles with blow & the bottle. Then... 9 years sober, he needed to
face down unresolved issues, which he did. Good man. Good book.

Friday, August 28: Peter Gabriel I'll never forget the first time I saw Gabriel in concert: his debut solo tour, Television opened, and Peter entered the room from the REAR of the house while we were all sitting there with eyes on the stage! And the venue was...The Uptown Theatre in the (you'll never guess) Uptown section of Chicago (near the still up 'n' running Aragon and Riviera). Saw some stellar shows there, including Bob Marley & The Wailers and my first Dead show; my punk rock rooted friend and I naively expected sexy hippie chicks to dance around us and "turn us on, sonny, to something strong," as The Boss once sang. Didn't happen.

What's that, a Woodstock encore? Flail along with Joe, who performed on this date in 1969.

Tuesday, August 18: Journey
Another hit laden double bill: Journey & Heart at The Rockford Metro Centre. So, why did Steve perry & Journey part company? In '96, Perry suffered a hip injury while hiking in Hawaii, rendering him unable to perform. He need hip replacement surgery but was rteluctant to rush into it. 17 months after the injury, Journey members Jonathan Cain & Neil Schon gave Perry an ultimatum of either having the surgery so they could eventually tour with him, or be replaced. Perry split.

Wednesday, August 19: Crosby, Stills & Nash
So, according to legend, Photographer Henry Diltz took the cover shot for the Crosby, Stills & Nash album with the trio on a funky old couch that sat outside a dilapidated house in L.A. Upon looking at the proofs, everyone was thrilled - expect the label honchos who were uptight that the left-to-right order of the musicians was Nash, Stills, then Crosby, from the viewer's perspective. So they all hustled back to the same location the next day to found the house had been freshly torn down, so they decided to stick with the original. Their music, unlike the home, endures - on The Drive.

Thursday, August 20: Triple Play Thursday on The Drive It's also Robert Plant's birthday. Didn't he used to sing for a band that had at least 3 good songs?

Friday, August 21: John Mellencamp
Familiar with Mellencamp's paintings? Check out the book Mellencamp: Paintings and Reflections. All profits from it's sale go to VH1 Save The Music.

The Drive's Live at 5 for the week of August 10-14, 2009
Posted:Saturday, 08/08/2009 at 06:08pm by Bobby Skafish
Monday, August 10: Chicago
Chicago trombonist and original member Jim Pankow said in a recent interview that Chicago puts on a physical show, musical "aerobics" for 2 hours under hot lights, so he needs to be in shape, including "spring training" before touring, and practicing to "get his lips in shape"(?!). He also reasons that Chicago doesn't paid for their performances, that's the fun part - they get paid to travel.

Tuesday, August 11: Steve Miller If you pick up the 30th anniversary edition of Fly Like An Eagle (in awesome surround sound) you also get a concert DVD from a Shoreline Amphitheatre (San Fran area)gig with it.
This live DVD is pure dynamite - Steve Miller playing his best stuff in 2005 with guest shots from Joe Satriani & George Thorogood. What's funny is the Shoreline video crew shot the show only (originally) for the closeups on the giant screens, with the director switching the shots live, as it happened. Steve Miller later popped in the DVD and knew magic had been captured with great expertise by the videographers.

Wednesday, August 12: Fleetwood Mac
I had the chance to interview drummer Mick Fleetwood earlier this year and asked him to talk about Fleetwood Mac's 1998 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction. He said it was bittersweet because the Hall of Fame did not include or invite former Mac guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Bob Welch. Bob was in the band long enough to be part of 4 Fleetwood Mac albums and subsequent tours in the first half of the 70s, and contributed great songs such as Hypnotized and Sentimental Lady. Not fair!

Thursday, August 13: Tom Petty
Growing up in Gainseville, Florida, Tom first became obsessed with music after getting to meet Elvis Presley, who was there to make the movie Follow That Dream. Our kinda guy, Tom Petty - Elvis wasn't bad, either!

Friday, August 14: Woodstock at 40
We'll kick off Woodstock music & memories with a couple from Creedence Clearwater Revival who weren't in the original film but are in The 40th Anniversary Directors Cut.

Posted:Saturday, 08/01/2009 at 06:08pm by Bobby Skafish
Monday, August 3: The Doobie Brothers
Interesting guy, one time (1974-79) Doobie Brother Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Was in a band briefly with a pre-fame Jimi Hendrix. Was also a founding member of Steely Dan. Dig this, though: these days he consults the U.S. Department of Defense and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. Oh yeah, he's also part of the NASA Exploration Systems Advisory Committee(?!). He sez the government digs his "unconventional approach to thinking about terrorism and interest in technology." We like his guitarwork.

Tuesday, August 4: Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick is planning a DVD release documenting their 2007 performance of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band at The Hollywood Bowl. Here's another clue for you all, the walrus was...Bun E. Carlos.

Wednesday, August 5: The Moody Blues
Only area gig is 8/8 at The Venue, Horseshoe Casino. I bought The Moodies new DVD, Live at The Isle of Wight 1970.
It's the classic Moodies lineup, 4/5 of whom give present day insights, and about an hour of on-stage footage of a strong setlist. They look a bit nervous (500,000 in attendance), but perform well and the period clothing is cool to check out.

Thursday, August 6: It's Guitar Legends in The Drive spotlight all day, and at 5 we go with Eric Clapton.

Friday, August 7: Jimmy Buffett
August is Buffett month, with gigs 8/8 & 8/15 at Toyota Park and 8/29 at Alpine Valley in 96.9-land, Saturdays all. Jimmy is among those pictured on the cover of Somebody Else's Troubles, a 1973 album by late Chicago folk legend Steve Goodman. They were buds. Jimmy's pseudonym in the credits is Marvin Gardens.

Write us - use a pseudonym if you like; I got dibs on Ben Veneer and Ed Vaguely Junior, though. See Add Comments link.

Monday, July 27: The Ides Of March
Doing 2 from the 2-CD Beware! The Ides Of March Live, recorded in '03 at McAninch Arts Center t College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn. Keep an eye & ear open for Jim Peterik's Life Force, another band from the co-founder of The Ides as well as Survivor.

Tuesday, July 28: Heart
Come fall, Heart will release a new...children's storybook! It's inspired by Heart's 1978 album Dog & Butterfly and will come with a CD of a few rerecorded Heart tunes. Ann Wilson did the writing and dog drawing while sister Nancy drew the butterfly. Nancy also painted the other characters Ann drew, not to be confused with Andrew or Nancy Drew.

Wednesday, July 29: Jackson Browne
It's Jackson July 30 at Ravinia. His real first name is Clyde and he was born in Heidelberg, West Germany. Bruce Springsteen inducted him into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, joking that The E Street Band and him were always jealous of Jackson's ability to draw women to his concerts while they pulled in the dudes. Springsteen's long-time manager Jon Landau produced Jackson's The Pretender album for 1976 release.

Thursday, July 30: David Bowie
David's latest release is not an album, there hasn't been one of those since 2003's Reality; it's a DVD release of his 1999 appearance on VH1's Storytellers.

Friday, July 31
Let's hear it for The Who's legendary drummer...Scot Halpin! Who? In 1973, Scot was a 19-year old new arrival in San francisco from Muscatine, Iowa. He was attending a Who concert at The Cow Palace where Keith Moon was sick as a dog due to dumb ass behavior - chasing down a handful of sedatives he got from a fan with brandy. Keith passed out at his drum kit, roadies took him backstage for a splash of water and a cortisone shot. 30 minutes later he comes back but eventually slumps over again. Pete Townshend addressed the crowd: "Can anybody play the drums/" Our hero steps up and finishes the set (3 tunes) with The Who, even though he hadn't drummed in a year. He took a bow with the band and backstage was given a Who jacket, which was stolen from him later that night.

Monday, July 20: Little Feat
Little Feat was formed in 1969 by slide guitarist/writer/singer Lowell George, who was born in Hollywood and whose dad was known as "furrier to the stars." Lowell's first instrument was harmonica and, with his brother, he played on Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour, the Idol/America's Got Talent of its era. He was briefly a member of The Standells (of Dirty Water fame)
and then Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. He produced The Grateful Dead's Shakedown Street album and survived being punched by Dead drummer Mickey Hart. He did not survive a 1979 heart attack in Washington D.C. following a solo gig.

Tuesday, July 21: Billy Joel
Billy Joel's solo debut was titled Cold Spring Harbor, released in 1971. The master tapes were inadvertently speeded up which made for a too-fast album that gave Billy's voice a nasal, unnatural tone. Upon hearing it, he flung it, where it smashed upon impact. You'd be hard-pressed to again find the word "smash" in reference to this album. It was speed-corrected and re-released in 1984. Oh, and welcome back Billy & Elton.

Wednesday, July 22: Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd's Live 8 reunion concert in 2005 sparked a 1400% increase in sales of Echoes: The Best Of Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd countered assertions that many acts played Live 8 to boost their own careers by donating their additional royalties to charity - David Gilmour's classy idea.

Thursday, July 23: Neil Young
Why to not get Neil Young an Ipod for a present: "Apple has made music into wallpaper...as a matter of fact, there's a thing that comes in the box (Neil refers here to his recently released 10 disc box set) where you can have the whole set on MP3 for nothing. It's worth it."

Friday, July 24: Sting
So what has His Stingness been up to since the mega-successful Police reunion tour? He played a solo gig at Quebec City Summer Festival July 18, and come this fall, Sting will release a new album dedicated to his favorite season - winter. Will you spring for it? There, all 4 seasons in one...paragraph.

Monday, July 13: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Fascinating story about the oft-requested Skynyrd anthem Freebird by Christopher Borrelli in The July 5 Chicago Tribune. Did you know that at the time of their 1977 plane crash, en route to Baton Rouge, the band had a 7 night run of sold out shows at NYC's Madison Square Garden yet to be played? Amazing.

Tuesday, July 14: The Beach Boys
It's the Mike Love-led Beach Boys on this date at Ravinia. Vinyl alert: The Beach Boys albums Sunflower (1970) and Surf's Up (1971 & a personal fave) have been recently released on vinyl with faithful art reproduction.

Wednesday, July 15: Jethro Tull
About that name...at first the band had trouble getting repeat bookings so took to freqent name changes to continue playing the London club circuit. Band names were often supplied by their booking agents' staff, one of whom, a history buff, eventually dubbed them "Jethro Tull" after an 18th century agriculturist. The name stuck because they were using it the first time a club manager liked their show enough to invite them to return.

Thursday, July 16: Elton John
It's Elton & Billy Joel at Wrigley Field on this date and 7/21 and it's those two on The Drive's Thursday Artist Portrait. I checked out an on-line setlist from the tour aand it went as follows: Elton & Billy do a 4 song set together of 2 each of their hits followed by Elton & his band band playing 11 wall-to-wall classics. Billy & his band do the same. Finally, for the encore, it's everybody on stage for a barn-burning 9 songs, with hits by them both as well as a few Beatle tunes.

Friday, July 17: Steve Miller
It's Stevie Guitar Miller rocking Ravinia on this Friday, ya might say returning to the scene of the crime, as a 2007 concert there resulted in "Steve Miller Live in Chicago" - I guess "Live in Highland Park" doesn't have the same ring. It's a 2 DVD, 1 CD set that earned a 5- star
rating on Amazon. One DVD gives you behind the svenes peaks as well as a Steve Miller tour of Chicago blues haunts, past & present. He oughta know: pre-San Francisco, Steve played the blues here.

Monday, July 6: Paul Simon
Paul's second marriage was to actress/author Carrie Fisher. He met his current wife, Edie Brickell, when she was the Saturday Night Live musical guest with her band The New Bohemians, performing their hit What I Am in 1988, and she noticed Simon standing in front of the cameraman. Edie Brickell: "He made me mess up the song when I looked at him. We can show the kids (they have 3) the tape and say "Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other.'"

Tuesday, July 7: Led Zeppelin
Yes, I realize that sales statistics don't tell all, but perhaps Zep's say something about the band's timeless appeal. The following 6 albums are among the top 100 sellers of all time: Lep Zep IV: 23 million sold, Physical Graffiti: 16 million, Led Zeppelin II: 12 million, Houses Of The Holy: 11 million, Led Zeppelin: 10 million, Led Zeppelin III: 8 million.

Wednesday, July 8: Stevie Wonder
In March of this year, Stevie's first concert DVD was released, Live At Last, captured at London's O2 Arena. It has 27 songs and besides hits galore includes a "Special U.K. Medley," that features London Bridge Is Falling Down besides covers of The Beatles and Stones.

Thursday, July 9: Enjoy Album Sides Thursday on The Drive

Friday, July 10: Styx
So, it's Styx, REO & 38 Special on this date at Charter One Pavillion. On June 22, Styx made a surprise appearance at the White House Briefing Room, following the daily briefing for the press. They had a day off and took a private tour of the president's mansion. When asked whether Styx had plans to meet President Obama, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan joked "If I have time." The King o' Comedy added that he voted for Obama in the election but since he was Canadian his vote was rescinded.

Monday, June 29: Peter Frampton
Peter played lead guitar on David Bowie's 1987 Glass Spider tour but the connection goes deeper: Peter's dad was David's art teacher in school.

Tuesday, June 30: The Kinks
Ringin' out June with live Kinks on The Drive
C'mon dudes, tour while you're all still alive
Brothers Ray & Dave, please bury the hatchet
Find a lucrative offer and make sure you snatch it

From these tough times deliver and save us
We'll even pronounce your last name as "Davis"
The Kinks rocking out is what the fans crave
Ray singin' songs and hot licks from Dave

Wednesday, July 1: Electric Light Orchestra
ELO bass player Kelly Groucutt died in February at age 63-heart attack. He joined in '75 and split in '83, unhappy with royalty payments during his tenure. He sued the band's management and band leader/songwriter/singer Jeff Lynne, eventually settling for 300,000 English pounds before the case went to court.

Thursday, July 2: Santana
Carlos & Company began a "residency" at The Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on May 27. The multi-year contract calls for roughly 36 performances of "Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits" a year, with Santana barred from performing elsewhere west of the Mississippi.
Hey, we're east o' the mighty Mississipp!

Friday, July 3: Bad Company
Speaking of all things Hard Rock, Bad Company played The Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida on 08/08/08. The resultant live DVD will be out this August 8.

Monday, June 22: The Eagles
Warning: Smoking may be hazardous to your job! In his book "Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)" fired guitarist Don Felder tells a story about The Eagles being on tour on the other side of the world (China?) where Glenn Frey's fave cigarettes were not sold. Glenn had an employee back home overnight him some, then proceeded to fire the dude for sending soft packs instead of fliptop boxes.

Tuesday, June 23: J. Geils Band
Fun facts about Geils singer Peter Wolf: Studied painting at The University of Chicago and later at The School of Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where future film maker David Lynch was his roomie...was a late night DJ in Boston...was married to actress Faye Dunaway 1974-79...was onced punched in the face by Stones drummer Charlie Watts whilst arguing about jazz...has a new album coming this summer.

Wednesday, June 24: Pete Townshend
"Who Are You: The Life of Pete Townshend" was expanded and just released in paperback (with foreword by Eddie Vedder)in England. To order go to MUSICROOM.com.

Thursday, June 25: The Doors
"When You're Strange," the Doors endorsed film bio premiered at The Sundance Film Festival in January and played/plays The L.A. Film Festival June 21 & 24, yet has no Chicago screenings or DVD release scheduled. Rats!

Friday, June 26: John Mellencamp
John & Willie Nelson are on the bill for "The Bob Dylan Show," a summer tour playing mostly minor league baseball parks, but only 2 remotely-near gigs are GCS Ballpark/Sauget, Il, 7/2 and Covelski Stadium/South Bend on7/4. Mellencamp sings Dylan on Live@5 and has a box set coming.

Monday, June 15: Yes
Yes is touring this spring & summer (no Chicago date) with special guest Asia, which means guitarist Steve Howe pulls double duty - he's a founding member of both bands. FYI: vocalist Jon Anderson is still not touring - Canadian Benoit David fills in, as does Oliver Wakeman on keyboards, for his dad, Rick.

Tuesday, June 16: Eddie Money
Hear Eddie on The Drive's Live at 5. See the guy, too:
Taste of Joliet 6/26, Frontier Days in Arlington Heights 7/3 & Great Lakes Naval Station on The 4th of July.

Wednesday, July 17: Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood
It's Clapton & Winwood at The United Center. We go with 2 tunes from their recently releaased 2 CD set Live From Madison Square Garden, which is also available on DVD. Don't forget where these heavyweights renewed their musical ties by performing songs from their 1969 Blind Faith album - Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2007 in Bridgeview.

Thursday, June 18: Paul McCartney
Happy 67th birthday, Sir Paul! So, Paul's playing The New York Mets new home, Citi Field, July 17 & 18. He's also rocking Halifax, Nova Scotia July 11. Apparently, "additional U.S. dates are under consideration." Consider Chicago, Sir Dude.

Friday, June 19: ZZ Top
Four decades without a personnel change. Wow! ZZ Top inducted major influence Cream into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and Keith Richards inducted them in 2004.

Monday, June 8: Tom Petty
The official Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers website tells us "no tour dates scheduled at this time" so it's up to The Drive to bring TP & the HBs to you. Tom & Heartbreakers Mike Campbell & Benmont Tench did sit in with The Allman Brothers band at L.A.s Greek Theatre last month, with Tom warbling 2 Dylan tunes.

Tuesday, June 9: The Band
Though The bands singing, swinging drummer Levon Helm leads his current band in concert on this date at The Chicago Theatre, he can frequently be found at his home studio, known as "The Barn" in Woodstock, New York, hosting
Levon's Midnight Ramble, guest-infused music making sessions that leave the folks (paying customers, mind) smiling.

Wednesday, June 10: The Police
On August 8, 2008, The Police wrapped up their mega-successful reunion tour at NYC's Madison Square Garden.
In a nod to trios past, Sting, Stewart & Andy opened with a cover of Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love and later performed Purple Haze, originally rocked by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Thursday, June 11: Stevie Ray Vaughn
Stevie was nominated but not voted into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2009, but has been in The Blues Hall Of Fame since 2000. In '94, Austin, Texas, erected a SRV Memorial Statue at Auditorium Shores on Lady Bird Lake. Classy.

Friday, June 12: Aerosmith
So it's Aerosmith Saturday, 6/13 at Alpine valley and 8/28 in Tinley Park. You up to speed on "No Service Fee Wednesdays?" LiveNation is "offering fans some of the lowest prices of the summer on lawn tickets with no ticket service fees on any LiveNation.com-ticketed amphitheater show" - including these two. It's a start!
