This is the second in a two-part series recapping my trip to Chicago this past weekend, centred around reviewing the Dead & Company shows at Wrigley Field that were the purpose of my trip. 
In this episode, we pick up Saturday morning and cover a lakeside bike ride, a half-rack of ribs, a massive blueberry muffin and an Allagash White — oh, and the main event: the June 10 show!

In this episode, we discuss AC/DC's fifth album, 'Powerage,' in celebration of its May '78 release. You may recall that we did the same for its predecessor, 'Let There Be Rock,' just over a year ago in Episode 92. I also reviewed 'Power Up' upon its November 2020 release, way back in Episode 22...

James Brown's famous 'Live At The Apollo' album, often cited as the greatest live album ever made, was released 60 years ago this month. As such, I figured I should finally listen to it! Another live album often cited as the greatest, the Who's 'Live At Leeds,' had its release anniversary this week — just 53 years — so I thought I would address both of their claims at the title together...

When evaluating pre-hiatus Grateful Dead shows, "Dark Star" and "The Other One" typically factor heavily. That's why I thought in this episode, it would be fun to talk about the best shows where they did not play either of their spacey '60s epics.
