Frank Zappa Halloween 78

"Happy Halloween, everybody!"  Greeting his audience at New York's late, lamented Palladium on October 31, 1978, Frank Zappa promised the enthusiastic crowd.  "This is it...this is the big one!"  He wasn't kidding.  The composer-guitarist and his band - drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, bassists Arthur Barrow and Patrick O'Hearn, keyboardists Peter Wolf and Tommy Mars, singer-guitarist Denny Walley, and percussionist Ed Mann - delivered perhaps the most epic show of their annual New York holiday

Elvis Presley Sunset Boulevard

It was late March 1972 when Elvis Presley first entered RCA's Studio C at 6363 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood - The King's first time recording at the Hollywood venue.  Most of RCA's marquee artists, from Jefferson Airplane to Henry Mancini, had already made their mark there, as the studio had opened in 1964.  Presley had previously rehearsed for his Las Vegas engagements in the 32 x 22' space (the smallest of the building's three studios) and now, the March 27-30 sessions would be his first

Mellow My Mind: Neil Young Revisits "Tonight's the Night" at 50 with Previously Unreleased Tracks

October 22, 2025 By Joe Marchese 1 Comment

Neil Young's sixth studio album, 1975's Tonight's the Night, closed out the singer-songwriter's so-called Ditch Trilogy.  1972's country-rock landmark Harvest catapulted Young to superstardom, yielding the chart-topping single "Heart of Gold" and becoming the U.S.' best-selling album of 1972.  But he wasn't comfortable with everything that fame brought, and his successive albums replaced the wistful glow and commercial sheen of Harvest with something altogether darker.  Tonight's the Night
