Bruce Springsteen Just Released The Legendary Oft-Bootlegged Roxy Show From 1978

It is known simply as Roxy ’78. One of Bruce Springsteen’s finest shows ever – 40 years ago exactly to the date – is now available complete and freshly mixed from multi-track master tapes. Playing a special club set broadcast live across LA, Bruce pulls out all the stops, including the debut performances of “Point Blank,” “Independence Day” (solo piano), “Rave On” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” plus the first tour versions of “Raise Your Hand” and “Twist and Shout” to wrap this jaw-dropping stop on the Darkness tour. It was recorded live with the Wally Heider Mobile truck by Jimmy Iovine, and originally broadcast live on KMET-FM Los Angeles.

Big Sugar Statement On The Death Of Longtime Bassist Garry Lowe

The Canadian music community lost one of its most treasured and prolific members today. Garry Lowe passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 7th, 2018 following a private two-year battle with cancer. He was 65.

Garry Lowe was long heralded and admired for not only his extensive musical talents, especially with Gordie Johnson and Big Sugar, but also for his infectious energies of love, humanity, humour, and kindness.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Garry moved to Canada in 1976 at the age of 22, and began playing bass with reggae legend Jackie Mittoo. He joined Big Sugar in 1994, touring and recording many of their most classic and notable records. One of his most recent and final appearances was with Big Sugar and Alex Lifeson of Rush.

“We lost our dear brother and sweet friend Garry this morning,” shares Gordie Johnson. “He was my greatest musical collaborator, our wisest elder. We were blessed to be on life’s journey together.

“We were blessed to know him and share his music. Please remember Garry Lowe in all your thoughts and prayers.

“Rally round the Lion.”

Their sound is bigger than their four walls, so making room for a 60-piece ensemble—including a full choir—means getting creative. Welcome to Apartment Sessions.

That Time The Sex Pistols Played A Top Security Prison

During The Sex Pistols’ first major tour of England in 1976, there was one stop that likely made the band feel excited, or dread. Or both. It was at The Chelmsford Top Security Prison on September 17, before Glen Matlock left the band. Their opening number was Anarchy In The UK, and at the end of the number there was a barrage of catcalls, boos and screaming. Or what the prisoners would call, Monday.

The Music Theory Behind Why The National Anthem Is So Hard To Sing

“The Star-Spangled Banner” has a wide range, difficult vowels and a bunch of unexpected notes. This is either the reason it’s not for the faint of heart to sing or the key to its genius, depending on who you ask.
