Dive into the groovy vibes of the 1970s with us on this episode of Fans In Motion! We’re shaking things up by trying something totally new: ranking our all-time favorite live albums from the 1970’s. From the raw energy of The Who’s “Live at Leeds” to the epic jams in The Allman Brothers Band’s “At Fillmore East,” and the stadium-shaking anthems of Peter Frampton’s “Frampton Comes Alive!” – which ones top our list? Spoiler: Expect heated debates, nostalgic stories, and maybe a few surprises (like why Kiss’ “Alive!” still slays). We also give you the picks from Jack, Kelly, Eric, and Keri of Night Ranger!! Whether you’re a vinyl collector or just love classic rock, this one’s for you!

Band vs Brand – The ultimate showdown in rock music! In this deep dive, we explore the timeless debate: When does a rock band stop being just a group of musicians and start becoming a full-blown brand? From legendary logos and endless merch empires to the fight for authenticity vs. commercialization, we break down how the music industry turned rock into big business.

As the clock strikes midnight on one hell of a year, join us for Fans In Motion & Night Ranger’s ultimate 2025 recap — the wins, the shocks, the unforgettable FIM moments — before we light up 2026! We cover all the happenings in the NR & FIM world in 2025, NR Tour Manager Ed Ripepi stops in to say hello, and we read and discuss our fellow FIM favorite 2025 memories!

PART TWO of our deep dive into the electrifying world of classic rock production in this must-listen episode, where I sit down with Grammy-nominated maestro Ron Nevison—the engineering & producing wizard behind some of the biggest albums in music history. Many of us know Ron as the producer the fantastic Damn Yankees records and the Night Ranger reunion record “Neverland”! These episodes cover it all! From his early days cutting his teeth on The Who’s explosive Quadrophenia (complete with wild tales of Keith Moon’s chaotic genius and Pete Townshend’s quadraphonic vision) to engineering Led Zeppelin’s monumental Physical Graffiti alongside Jimmy Page’s meticulous studio sorcery, Ron pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes sessions that defined an era. But that’s just the warmup: Hear how Ron resurrected Heart’s career with powerhouse hits like “Alone” and “These Dreams,” tamed the bombast of KISS’s Crazy Nights, and infused Ozzy Osbourne’s The Ultimate Sin with razor-sharp edge. With over 100 million albums sold and Billboard’s Top-5 Producer nods under his belt, Ron shares unfiltered stories of clashing egos, technical triumphs, and the raw magic of capturing lightning in a bottle—from Bad Company’s gritty debuts to Damn Yankees’ arena anthems. Whether you’re a die-hard Zeppelin fan or just love the untold stories of rock’s golden age, this episode is your backstage pass to the sounds that still shake the world. Tune in for laughs, legends, and lessons from a lifetime in the mix.
