a book. He got one and I got one. If
you are a Rush fan, you will really enjoy this.
Of course these let's see, can I read this? Let
me just pull out this fine light instead of going
to grab the book. Now, the book itself is very like, Look,
I am not a Rush fan, It's no secret about that.
I respect the hell out of them, just not a
big fan. But this book, which comes out on March tenth,
is it March tenth, Yeah, March tenth is called Rush
and twenty twelve fifty years. It is a definite, definitive,
I'm sorry, anniversary tribute to one of the rock's most
influential albums by Daniel Buckspan and it comes out on
the tenth. It's like fifty bucks in the States, more
than Canada. So take off, you hosers. But it's actually
a very impressive, very impressive package. There's actually a case
that the book comes in. It is high gloss, it
is hardcover. It's pretty I haven't dove into it yet.
I'm going to do that closer to when we record
the show, and we will have the author Daniel Buckspan
on the show. So that's what we got coming up.
Working on a couple of interviews as well, and yeah,
there's that. So, like I said, it's runt week and
if anybody wants to throw a little pop in the bucket,
you're free to do that. I'm not gonna say no.

Presley venmoy You guys, are you know all that shit?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: If yeah, you have my phone number is Zel? You
know I like Zel. That's good anyways, But noth of that.
So today I'm going to talk about we all know
February third, which is yesterday. Today is the fourth. It
is eleven thirty one pm here in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada,
Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. February third is the day the
music died. Today's the day after the music died. And
actually the story that I'm going to tell you took
place the day that the music died. But I'm calling
the show the day after the music died. For that point,
it has to do with the crash, and it has
to do with the tragedy, and it has to do
with what happened the night of the crash, not the
night that they played in clear Lake, what happened after.
But before I get to anything, because we got Record
Store Day two and they've announced a lot of pretty
much everything that's coming out on Record Store Day. And
I got the press release for Rhino Rhino Records and
what they're doing, and there is a Krem de la
crem in there. I'm sure you saw that. I'm very
excited about this. The Van Halen Live in New Halen,
Connecticut nineteen eighty six fifty one fifty tour, which we
all know is live without a Net, and we are
going to dive into that along with all the a
lot of the other cool stuff that is coming out
on there. But before we get to anything, I must,
in the words of my close personal friend Stone Kel
Steve Austin, crack one for the working man, which is
cracking one for me because that's all I do. I
realized I spend more time at the grocery that I
get to spend in my own apartment. But hey man,
you gotta do what you gotta do. So before we
get into red so we're gonna talk about Record Store Day.
Then we'll talk about the day after the music died,
which is really the date that the music died. But
we already explained that I was in McDonald's today, not
proud of it, but I was hungry, trying not to
eat there. It's just you order online through the app.
And this is a great hack for when you're like
a little light on cash and you want to eat,
have your app set to PayPal, and make sure the
PayPal goes to your bank account and not your bank card,
because if it goes to your bank account, it's like
floating at check and it takes about five days to clear.
So if you're really in a bind and you need
to eat and you don't have any cash, that is
the way to do it. Anyways, I order, I get
my food. I'm sitting in my car, I'm waiting, and
I want to try that hot honey. They new hot
honey dip mostly to put on the chicken sandwich, the
five dollars chicken sandwich deal. And they gave me the
wrong They gave me a hot honey mustard. I'm like, no, no, no,
no no. So I go back in and there's an
officer in there and he's talking to the manager girl,
Lady Gal. She was older than a girl. And from
what I gathered from this conversation is that they have
somebody that comes in the store that harasses them and
threatens them. And almost right as I walked up, I
heard the cops say to her, Look, if he come
in here and you all beat the snot out of
this guy, I'm okay with it because technically it is
self defense, and I'm just in the back of my mind,
I'm doing a standing ovation somebody comes in. If he
comes back in here and he threatens you again and
you all beat the snot out of him, I'm okay
with it because you're within your right to defend yourself.
And it's like, yeah, yeah, fucking beautiful, fucking beauty. And
I can just picture the fucking the TikTok videos, the
YouTube videos, because you know, somebodys gonna fucking recorded. Somebody
always does, because everybody always has a phone on him
at all time. That's just the generation that we live in.
That's the times that we live in. But yeah, that
kind of got me excited. So let's talk about this
record store day. And yes, I did play Van Halen
at the top just a little bit. Didn't want to
go overboard. I would love to listen to the whole song,
but you know, you know, starting the show, let's just
play a little just play, give it a little love,
and we can start talking and drinking a goddamn beer.
So I got the press release from Rhino. Now there's
a couple other things that have been released before we
get into this or that. So record Store Day is
March I'm sorry, April eighteenth, and I believe I'm on
the Monsters of Rock Cruise, so I cannot partake in
record Store Day. So if anybody accidentally goes and gets
me Van Halen Live in New Haven, it's on double
clear vinyl. I'm very excited about that. I would be
okay with it, I really know. But there's a so.
But there's a couple of things that are coming out
in the Kiss world. First off, Friend of the Show,
Friend of Me, former Kiss guitar player Bruce Klick has
a record coming out and there's only fifteen hundred of
these available. So it's RSD exclusive release, record stored exclusive release,
as most of these are. It's of the album Transformer,
which was released in two thousand and four, never released
on vinyl, and the package is redesigned with new art
and remastered for Kiss for the Kiss fan base appeal.
Same concept that we have done with Eric car solo
releases for Record Store Day events in the past. So
this looks pretty cool. So the track list is Jump
the Shark, I can't Breathe, It loves the Answer, Crazy
All I Need, don't tell me something in the Mountain Gods,
In of the Mountain Gods, It's just my life, do
it right, beautiful to me, truth or dare and against
the grain. So this looks pretty cool. I guess Bruce
said that the artwork that they have on the Record
Store Day website, it's got basically the Crazy Nights cover,
except it's all him. But I think he said that's
not correct on one of his posts on Facebook. He
said that's not correct, and he put the correct one up.
Very cool, happy for Bruce, and that's very cole. Only
fifteen hundred available. That's very collectible. Now Kiss, on the
other hand, this thing is ten thousand available. This is
a twelve inch and there's three songs on it, so
it's obviously going to be in forty five RPM. This
is a very collectible record. The it was I don't
know when this is originally released, Oh it was. It
was a promo for It was a promo for Destroyer.
It was called a special Kiss Tour album. There's four
songs on it, and you know, like showed out loudcast.
They posted about it, and it's just like, just like
when I posted about the Van Halen thing, Well, was
it the the entire show or is it what was
on the VHS that was on the MTV. I don't
fucking know. Just be happy that for the first time ever,
this is getting released in an audio format. It was
released on VHS. I had a DVD copy, which I
believe was legit because I bought it a media play
and pretty much all of this stuff was legit. We
weren't bootlegs there. But it was never released on CD,
it was never released on cassette, it was never released
on vinyl, never released on streaming. So this so just
chill out, Just chill out. It's almost like we are
in a time where nothing is good enough. Can we
just be happy that we're getting something like, for instance,
forty fortieth anniversary of fifty one fifty is coming up
and they're putting out putting it out on vinyl. You
get the whole package vinyl, two CDs, and that on
Blu Ray, Live without in that on Blu Ray, which
I really want this fucking package because, as we all know,
I love this album. This is a phenomenal album. I
put it up there with all of the Dave stuff.
I think it's better than a lot of the Dave
stuff that people think is untouchable, like women and Children
first and fair warning, not better than the first record
or the second record. I would put it up against
the second record. Those two about neck and neck with me,
And I know that sacrilege you Dave only bobos, but
I'm sorry, man. Good songs are good songs. And we've
been down this road before. We've talked about this before,
top to bottom. It's a better record than a lot
of those records. It's apples and oranges, I mean, don't
get me wrong. So anyways, the blowback already about this, well,
what does this mean for the Well, you're gonna make
the original thing? Boys, not, it's not. Because people still
want the original thing. They still want the original pressing,
they still want the the gem, they still want the
the collectible one. And this is collectible too. It's just
different track listing, is Beth, do You Love Me? Flaming Youth,
Detroit Rock City. Is this something I would need? No?
Is this something that would be cool to have? Yeah,
I don't think i'd really listened to it. I'd probably
listen to it once. Now commercially available for the first
time ever because this was a promo. It was a
promo only twelve inch EP with the four singles from
the Destroyer album Beth, do You Love Me, Flaming Youth,
Detroit Rock, Say, Wait, Wow, Shout It Out Loud was
not a single Weird Weird, but it enhanced with the
spot gloss details of the jacket. On the jacket, the
EP is featured at forty five PM for the first
time and pressed on black and white splattered vine. I
could give a fuck less about colored vinyl. I couldn't
care less about colored vinyl. Black vinyl is fine, it
really is. I have colored vinyl. It just doesn't do
anything for me. Collectively. I understand it, I get it,
but it doesn't really do it. The only record store
day things I have. Sir Edward of Trunk was nice
enough to give me the A is FAILI Live plus
one vinyl that he was sent and my good friend
and fellow patron of the miniondom Mark Mark Cocott. What up, Mark,
I did not hit her.
Speaker 3: It's not true.
Speaker 1: It's bullshit.
Speaker 3: I did not hit her. I did not.
Speaker 1: Oh hi, Mark, I had to play the whole clip.
It's bullshit. That did not hit her.
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: Got me the trouble walking, which is cool. It's badass
double vinyl. This is the one thing I don't like
about New Vinyl is when they put a single album
onto a double Vinyl and put it at forty five.
It's too much flipping. That's my complaint. I love vinyl.
I'm a vinyl guy. I prefer vinyl, unless it came
out after they started mixing, not for vinyl. When they
started mixing for CDs and they started mixing mixing for digital,
it's not the same. For instance, the Black Rose record,
the last one that came out, I bought it on
vinyl and on CD sound the same, they really do.
But the stuff that was mixed for vinyl, recorded for vinyl,
recorded in analog, there's something special about it. There's a
feeling about it, there's a warmth about it. It's just
how I am. I mean, I love CDs, too. I
love cassettes. Hell, if I had an eight track player,
i'd probably use my A tracks too. But yeah, it's
cool and I'm still thankful that Mark Gate got me that.
It was very very kind of him. And then Motley Crue,
Motley fucking Crue they have. There was a radio EP
they put out. It was a promo EP. It was
for Live Wire and I think there's two other songs
on it.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 1: Let's find out. I should have had this pulled up
Motley Crew Record store.
Speaker 2: Day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, live Wire forty fifth anniversary. Your track listing is
live Wire, Take Me to the Top and Merry Go Round.
It's got of course it's on colored vinyl. There's twenty
five hundred available. Put out a BMG BMG and they
redid the cover and I mean it looks cool. Another thing.
Do I need it now? Do I want it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Would I like to have it?
Speaker 2: Eh?
Speaker 1: Not really does nothing for me. I mean the Kiss
one and the Bruce wan would be I'd like. I
wouldn't mind the Bruce one. I mean the Bruce one
would be cool because it's Bruce, and I don't have
anything physical for Bruce other than his kiss stuff. I Love.
I have never gone to a record store day. I
really haven't. But let's let's look at the Rhino the
Rhino and Rhino has a bunch of stuff coming out,
and I'm just gonna kind of hit the highlights for
stuff that we would be into. I'm starting, you know,
we'll do this and we'll get into the Van Halen

Pilots Live at Rolling Rock two thousand and one, two
LP black Vinyl, Talking Heads, Stranglers, Ween Yes, Tails from
the Top of Crop, Top Pographic Tours, three LP on
black vinyl, and well Third Eye Blind Rarities in first drafts. Yeah,
if you like three you don't, why not? I'm not
a third Eye Blind guy. But to me, the one
that stands out is Van Helen Live in New Haven, Connecticut,
nineteen eighty six. Dude, I am so, so so excited,
so excited for that. Let's get down to the description
here that I have. So it's a two LP on
clear vinyl. And look, two LP's fine because we know
it's not something that would fit on one record, put
it on two records. You can only put a half
an hour on a record and have it sound good.
And so this says two LP on vinyl for the
first time on vinyl. First, this is the first audio
release of this album. I think they played it on
King Biscuit Flower Hour because they did a lot of
those MTV shows. Because we know it was on MTV.
We know the best of both worlds was simulcast into
I'm sure it was. I'm sure it wasn't live live,
but they were because they were unless they did. I
don't know that. That's an interesting, interesting, interesting thought. If
the best of both worlds that they simulcast, was it
the Movie Awards or it was the Music Awards, the
Video Awards, I don't remember. I just remember seeing it
quote unquote live. So so the first time on vinyl
was just true. Live in New Haven, Connecticut nineteen eighty
six captured the band's newly retooled lineup Sammy Hagar, Edward
van Halen, Alex van Halen, and Michael Anthony, a raw
peak from their triumphant fifty one to fifty tour. The
consecutive New Haven Summer shows were originally recorded for Van
Halen's Live Without a Net. This performance features the band
tearing through an exhilarating mix of hits, album cuts, covers
and soon to be classics. Now, this does not say
if this is the Live Without a Net set list
or if this is a full show set list. I
don't know. I can ask her about that, asked the
prescal about that. See if she has an answer for that.
But the reason that this is so important to me
in that I'm so excited about this.
Speaker 3: I I.
Speaker 1: Ripped the audio off of one of the YouTube shows
and I split it up, you know, for each song,
so I this. I've had this on my phone, the audio,
but shitty YouTube audio for years. I mean years and years.
I used to drive around fucking driving lyft in LA
forcing people to listen to it, long before I even
thought about moving out here to Las Vegas. Live Without
a Net and fifty one p fifty are what got
me into van Halen. So that doesn't mean I didn't
listen to van Halen. That doesn't mean that Van Halen
wasn't in my life. My first car seventy four Firebird,
uh sixteen, so that would have been, Oh, that would
have been after fifty one fifty came out. But I
was rocking van Halen one, I was rocking Van Halen two.
He was rocking eighty four. But Live Without Annette, watching
it on MTV, recording it off of the MTV that
is what got me into van Halen. Maybe I was
just I didn't appreciate the rawness of the original band,
which I love. I love the swagger, and we all
know I love the swagger. A shit that has swagger.
You play with your hands or you play with your dick.
You don't play with your hands. The swagger of Dave.
I mean, it's it's it's untouchable. But it's different. Sammy
is different, better songwriter, better singer, still a great performer,
not Dave. Completely different than Dave. But I am very,
very very excited about Live Without a Net. Now, like
I said, we don't know is this Live without a
Net or is this one of the shows. I have
a feeling it's probably Live without a Net because it
says for the first time on vinyl, So I'm thinking
it is the songs from Live Without a Net, which
I'm fine with. I'm great, I am ecstatic. I'm excitic,
and hopefully I can get my hands.
Speaker 3: On that.
Speaker 1: That'd be good. I like that. So there's your record
store day Rundown. And look, I know these shows are
usually about twenty minutes, fifteen minutes, sometimes usually twenty twenty five.
We are pushing thirty three right now, but we still
have to talk about the day after the music died,
which is technically the day of the music died. So
we all know Buddy Holly died February third, played on
played in clear Lake, Iowa. February second. Oh, hold on, now,
I want to make sure that I have Buddy Holly
clear Lake, Iowa concert. I want to make sure they
didn't take off. Wait a minute now, oh February second. Okay,
there it is Iowa time Machine. February second. Buddy Holly
took the stage of the surf Baller and clear Lake
for the final performance of his career. So that means
the next day, maybe the maybe it was that night,
but it was after midnight. We all know Buddy Holly,
Richie Allens, and the big bopper J. P. Richardson were
killed in the plane crash near clear Lake, Iowa. They're
on their way to Fargo, North Dakota to play a
show in Fargo, North Dakota. If you were using your math,
they did not make it. And that's not making light
of the situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. The man
that filled in that show got his big break in
the music business that night. I do not know the
story about how he got the call to fill in.
I heard the story when I was in high school,
because when I was in high school. I went to
Cathedral High School, Sat Cloud, Minnesota, and it was part
of the Catholic school ring where all the Catholic schools
fed into the high school, right Saint Ougg's, Saint Catharine,
Saint Margaret's. I think I don't remember. I just know
I went to Saint Peter's and Paul's second grade to
eighth raid Boom ninth grade. Cathedral. It's where it's where
mom wanted me to go. I wanted to go with
my friends to Apollo, to public school, but she wanted
me to go to Cathedral. So there was a fundraiser
every year. And people who have been listening to this
show for a long time probably have heard this story.
But I'm telling it again for all you new Mues
because it kind of it fits into the day after
the music died, or the day of the music died,
however you want to put it. They did this show
every year called Rock around the Clock. It was a
fundraiser that they did every year for the for the
high school. It was a prior or for the actually
for the whole schools and all the schools and the
diocese called Rock around the Clock, put on by Bobby V.
We'll get there, and so Bobby would bring in He
brought in Dick Clark one year to host it. I
saw Leslie Gore, you remember Leslie Gore. Take it now? No, no, no,
n It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.
That's if Cindy Lauper did it. Oh God, Chubby Checker,
Jen and Dean. I actually did the twist on stage
with Chubby Checker. I was in fourth grade. I was
right up front. He pulled me up and I got
to do the twist with Chubby Checker. And of course
this was long before cell phones. My mom worked at
the venue at the Arena at the Mac and she
was standing on the stage on the side of the
stage and tried to take a picture of me up there,
but there was a fat lady standing in front of her,
totally blocking me out. So there is no photographic proof
of me doing the twist with Chub check Her. And uh,
the guy that played the soap box guitar, Buddy Guy.
Is that it's Buddy Guy. No, it's not Buddy Guy.
Is it Buddy Guy? I don't know. So Bobby V
is the guy that got the call to fill in
for Buddy Hawley that fateful night. Now, if you're wondering
who Buddy Bobby V Is, I'm sure the name rings
a bill and something else, which is very, very very odd.
And I texted Bobby's uh, one of Bobby's kids, one
of the V brothers, over the pandemic. I ordered off
of eBay a Buddy Holly Greatest Hits and a Bobby V.
Record and I think it was a Bobby V. Greatest Hits.
And the sweet irony was they showed up on the
same day. I know that meaningless. It may sound meaningless
to you, but knowing the story, it was ironic and
cathartic and cool. So if you know the name Bobby V.
Speaker 3: But you.
Speaker 1: I can't think of the song, Well, here here's the song.
Speaker 2: My tears are fallen because you've taken her away hurts me.
Speaker 1: So there's something that I've gotta say.
Speaker 3: Take good care my baby. Please don't ever make a
blue Yeah, just still that you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. There's a little taste you know
the song. I love that old fifties and sixties stuff.
It's so good. It's so good. But in the words
of the late great Paul Harvey, now you know the
rest of the story and there you go. All right,
we'll talk to you tomorrow, hopefully with the show with
Dawson and maybe a show with just me as well
for just you guys. So take care now, bye bye.
Speaker 3: Then, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: We're a little late.
Speaker 3: Say good night, Chrissie, good night, good night.
