episode date - October 21, 2009
It was forty years ago this month, in October 1969, when two of the most important bands in the history or rock and roll released career-defining albums.
For the Band, their eponymously titled album was a statement of purpose, laying the groundwork for what their intentions as a group were going to be.
For the Beatles, it was a farewell statement, summarizing everything that they had come to mean to us, as both a musical and a sociological phenomenon.
Those were heady days back in 1969, and it’s albums like these that made those times feel so significant to anyone who lived then.
We dedicate the first half hour of today’s show to
side one of “The Band,”
then we finish our program by playing
side two of “Abbey Road” in its entirety.
Hope you enjoy the show.
