Chat is archived.

yes, the chat is on. Hello rock and rollers.

Hello - ready to rock!

cool.same.

Hiya! It's after noon, let the games begin.

That's the plan, Roff

Titus Andronicus at the park works for me. That sounds interesting.

It's free, too. Added bonus.

Unlike Johnny Brenda's. A few blocks from my house, but miles away from my wallet on a regular basis.

Free definitely sweetens the deal.

Not that they are over priced, just can't keep up with it all.

If I lived in Philly I would have no money and no hearing.

Solid point. I hear ya thru the ringing in my ears.

same

yikes to this local thunder

@ John Tobias (host) Yikes, indeed! As Queen declared for all time in Bohemian Rhapsody, "Thunderbolt and lightning / Very very frightening!"

I hope The Barge serves you more like a bunker this afternoon ... :-0

so far so good.

@John Tobias (host) Thanks for The Doors' "My Eyes Have Seen You" from Strange Days, IMHO one of _the_ greatest rock albums of the Sixties and maybe of all time. Good point about them using bass players in the studio. But for a real ear opener, check out their live recordings from this era. Ray Manzarek created a serious foundation with his Fender Rhodes Piano Bass keyboard. In fact, the Doors produced a truly formidable sound despite being basically just an instrumental trio.

Thanks Richard. I'm pretty aware of Ray. He is a great story teller.

Driving while listening..Iguana Death Cult, third time this week..thanks

nice

@ John Tobias (host) I don't think the thunderstorm has me hallucinating that you played a fab, dramatic, kinda shoe-gazey cover of JJ Cale's "They Call Me the Breeze." But I can't seem to find it on the playlist ...

sounds like I should have gone with that...maybe the next storm. It's kinda clearing up a bit.

I just paid some bills, so money is all I need

And hi John and everyone

we all do, right

Indeed. And it's possible I will acquire new residue shortly, a cheap thrill in the coming days

hope it works out

It'll be dandy if it does

mentioned on air

:-)

I thought you said "Yao Ming" before - I was like "Whaaat?? The basketball player is in a band??" 🤣

His hands are probably too big to play guitar...maybe he can sing. I prefer Yea-Ming.

Enunciation is not my strong point...worse than my spelling.

Could you tell me who did "The Breeze" cover? i loved it but missed what you said about it on air. Thanks!

Unsure who played the version you heard.

I know some guys who could make him a big guitar. :)

I'll pass it on.

Well, it was the version of "The Breeze" that blew thru your Playlist... you know I'm not unfaithful my 'PRB hosts . I'm totally Ti

... Tobias during Totally Tobias! :-D

Maybe someone did a version under a different title...I'm unsure. Like Zep doing the Killing Floor as the Lemon Song.

This is so so good.

Thx for the great summer listening! Hope to hear when you sub!

Thanks Amy and the global masses.

I loved this show, and thank you for all your summer shows!!

Thanks Mr. Tobias. See you along the way.

Happy autumn, until the next time!

Thanks all. I had great summer here. Tons of fun.
