Famous Lost Words

1005 - '70s rock pt 2 - Foreigner, Journey, Styx, ELO and more!


Listen Later

          We start this episode with Tom telling the story of how he almost got fired from his job – and how it almost meant the end of Famous Lost Words before it even started!

Then we continue with our series on ‘70s Rock.  Last week we featured Boston, The Doobie Brothers, Jethro Tull, BTO and others. 

This week, more from that era, including a great series of interview clips with Mick Jones and Lou Gramm of Foreigner, with the latter taking a big swing at the former’s dictatorial ways.

          Then a very interesting interview with Journey, right from the time when they are about to take off – but haven’t yet had a major hit.

          We also have another early career interview with ELO – and the struggle to marry classical and rock and make it work in a live setting.

          Plus, Dennis DeYoung from Styx explains how a Chicago disc jockey changed the fortunes of that band.

          Then, in a clip from the mid ‘70s, Steve Priest of Sweet tells us how they changed their image before they hit North America – and explains the story behind Ballroom Blitz.

          And for Canadian rock fans, we have Prism and Trooper telling us about ambitious plans, their biggest hits, and the toughest Canadian audience to play for.
