The Lyons Den Radio Show

From Psychedelia to Power Chords: The Kinks Live and Loud


Listen Later

Step inside The Lion’s Den with George Lyons for a four-hour journey that bridges the cosmic and the classic. This week’s broadcast opens in deep-space mode with God Is an Astronaut, The Mars Volta, Mercury Rev, and Blue States, then drifts through poetic word-jazz and the vintage haze of Donovan’s “Mellow Yellow.”

The second act cranks up the amps as George spins Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, and a funk-driven Jamiroquai mini-concert recorded live in London. Capping the night, The Lion’s Den transports listeners to Chicago’s Riviera Theatre for a full-throttle archival performance by The Kinks—featuring “Come Dancing,” “Working at the Factory,” “Misfits,” “Celluloid Heroes,” and “You Really Got Me.”

Through every segue, George weaves artist insights, live-show energy, and his trademark sign-off reminding Las Vegas to care for one another—and themselves.

Tune in, turn it up, and rediscover why The Lion’s Den roars as UNLV’s late-night soundtrack for music lovers who crave depth, discovery, and a little distortion.
