In this episode, we discuss Phish's recently-concluded summer tour — Labour Day weekend shows in Colorado, notwithstanding — focusing especially on the Madison Square Garden run, of which I attended the fourth show.

In this episode, I rank my personal favourite 31 Doors songs. The Doors were my first favourite band, my first concert, and my number one song here has been my favourite song by anyone since I was 5 years old, so this was a fun one for me!

In this episode, we discuss my personal favourite Led Zeppelin songs. I went with a Top 31 because I turn 31 on the 31st next week. Think of it like Baskin Robbins: 31 flavours of Led Zeppelin...

In this episode, we are joined once again by my good friend, David Carson, to discuss Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album in belated celebration of the 50th anniversary of its September 12, 1975 release.

For a more detailed examination of the musical theory behind the album, I highly recommend Doug Helvering's reaction to the album.

Check out David's singing project, Sons of Sinatra, as well!

Merry Christmas! I will see you all shortly in 2026...

In this episode, we are joined for the first time by my friend and loyal listener, David Carson, to rank the Grateful Dead's best live months from 1972-74 — my favourite era of live Dead. I thought this would be a fun way to recap our detailed examinations of that period over the past three years. 

We conducted it draft-style, resulting in a 'roster' of 15 months for each of us. Comment who you think won!

Check out David's singing project as well — @sonsofsinatra on Instagram.

Rock Talk turns 5! Thank you all so much for your continued interest and support!

In this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's 1975 North American Tour, which we previously covered way back in Episode 3, but I wanted to discuss it again to commemorate the 50th anniversary. It's the first year of live Zeppelin I got into back in high school, so I've always had a soft spot for it, and with it being five years since we last talked about it, my opinions have shifted some...

I also ranked the 1975 versions of "No Quarter" back in Episode 40 — one of my personal favourite episodes to create!

In this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's double album, 'Physical Graffiti,' in belated celebration of the 50th anniversary of its February 24, 1975 release. It's rare for me to do one of these album deep-dives these days, but an over-the-top album warrants an over-the-top episode, right?
