Hi, and welcome to our podcast, Great Gigs that Changed the World!

We're a father and son team, Adam (44) & Isaac (12), and we spend loads of time watching incredible music concerts on YouTube. We spend so much time talking about these shows, that we thought it would be fun to press the red button and make a podcast about it!

In Episode #7, we discuss a show that is arguably the best ever Superbowl show; Prince at Miami Dolphin's stadium in 2007. With the eyes of the world on the Superbowl, the heavens opened shortly before the show putting the performance in jeopardy.. But when asked if it should go ahead, Prince replied "Can you make it rain more?" ...and so ensued the halftime show considered by most as the best of all time.

We both really enjoyed making this episode, and hope that you enjoy listening to it too.

If you have any feedback for us, or have any suggestions for iconic music concerts that we should discuss on future episodes, please contact us at [email protected].

And please leave us a review... it only takes two secs but would mean the world to us.

Thanks!

In Episode #6, we talk about a show that defined Grunge music in the early 90's; Nirvana's headline set at the Reading Festival in 1992. Hot off the release of their career defining album Nevermind, the media and newspapers were questioning whether the band was about to split, and rumours were circulating about Kurt Cobain's health. And when he was wheeled onto stage in a wheelchair, it wasn't looking good. But then..... Tune in to find out!

In episode #4, Adam & Isaac discuss the legendary rooftop show put on by The Beatles in January of 1969 at their Apple Corps HQ in London.

In what was to become The Beatles' final ever live performance, the band took to a makeshift stage on a London rooftop to perform an unannounced and relatively unplanned performance of mostly new material that was to make it onto their 'Let it Be' album.

Adam and Isaac discuss what led to the performance, the show itself, and what happened to the band in the aftermath of the show.

Thanks for listening!

In episode #3, Adam & Isaac discuss the incredible show put on by Metallica and the San Francisco symphony in 1999.

Fusing metal and heavy rock with classical music was definitely an experiment, but one that paid off in spades and silenced even the most ardent of critics! Make sure you check out the gig on Spotify or YouTube and be sure to let us know what you think.

Thanks for listening,

For their second episode, father and son team Adam (42) and Isaac (10) take a deep dive into the legendary Eric Clapton MTV Unplugged performance in 1992.

Little did anyone know at the time, but this live album performance would go on to become one of Clapton's standout moments in his incredible and varied music career, earning him six Grammy awards, and 26 million album sales to date.

Isaac and Adam discuss Clapton's career, the MTV Unplugged series, the band and the setlist of this iconic performance.

Thanks for listening!
