Completely Conspicuous 659: Journey Through the Past

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about concerts we'd like to go back in time to see.

Show notes:

We're taking advantage of time machine technology
That time Zebra opened for their own Zep cover band
We're listing specific shows
So many great artists to choose from
YouTube makes it easier to see a lot of shows you missed
Honorable mentions
Jay: Surprise show by the Stones at a small Toronto club in '77
Two shows were turned into a live album decades later
Phil: Bob Marley and the Wailers in London, Monterey Pop, Bowie on Diamond Dogs tour, Sleater-Kinney in Berkeley, James Brown at the Boston Garden in '68, Beatles in Hamburg or the rooftop set, Prince on Purple Rain tour, Phish in '98, Steely Dan in '74
Jay: JB at the Soul Train studios in '73, the Police in '79, Iggy and the Stooges in '73, Zeppelin in '70, Mission of Burma's first farewell in '83, Drive Like Jehu in '94, Black Sabbath in '70, Iron Maiden in '81 with their original singer
The Police jumped on the new wave bandwagon and brought energy and skill to it
Sabbath's had interesting line items in their recording budget
Shout out to CompCon intern Lily
