Furthur 2011 - Back To Back To Back - #1:  Furthur, named after the psychedelic bus used by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters in 1964, was the 3rd post Grateful Dead band,  following the Other Ones and the Dead, to feature multiple members of that group  In this case, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh teamed up to launch Furthur in 2009. The band toured from 2009 to 2014, with a host of supporting players and numerous guest sitting in along the way.  This soundboard recording captures the band in Binghamton on March 29, 2011, 14 years ago today.  Download this one, then come back tomorrow and the next day for the rest of this Back to Back to Back set.

Historical notes - The Grateful Dead, of course, served as the house band in 1967 for Ken Kesey's Acid Tests, which were chronicled in Tom Wolfe's book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The bus, Furthur was driven by Neal Cassady, the inspiration for the character Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's On the Road, who is referenced in the Grateful Dead tune The Other One in the line "Captain Neal at the wheel of the bus to Never Never Land".

U2 2001 - Back To Back - #1: While the last leg of the Elevation Tour is remembered for U2's remarkable tribute to the victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, the early parts of the tour were a celebration of the band's amazing new album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. Following the mixed reception to their 1997 album, Pop, U2 returned to their roots for All That You Can't Leave Behind. At the time of the album's release, U2 said on a number of occasions that they were "reapplying for the job of the best band in the world". The public and critics heartily approved, as the disc sold over 12 million copies and won 7 Grammy Awards. The songs Beautiful Day, Walk On, Elevation, and Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of all reached the top 5 on the Billboard charts in the United Kingdom. Of course, many of the album's songs, especially Walk On, New York and Peace On Earth, would take on new meaning in the wake of the events of 9-11. That tragic moment, however, was still in the future when U2 hit the stage in Charlotte on March 29, 2001, 2 dozen years ago today, as captured in the ALD Matrix recording.  Download this one, then come back tomorrow for the 2nd part of this Back To Back set.

Sheryl 1995 - Back To Back - #1: When Sheryl Crow released the album Tuesday Night Music Club in August 1993, it garnered some critical accolades but very little public attention. Crow was featured in Rolling Stone’s “New Faces In Rock” section that year, but neither the album or its initial 2 singles charted. Finally, over a year later, the 3rd single from the disc, All I Wanna Do became a surprise smash hit, climbing to #2 on the Billboard charts and carrying the album to the #3 spot. By 1995, therefore, Sheryl was atop the rock world, the latest female artist to ascend to the throne of Queen of Rock. This FM broadcast captures Sheryl in Toronto on March 27, 1995, 3 decades ago today. Download this one, then come back tomorrow for the 2nd half of this Back To Back set.

Plant & Page 1998 - Back to Back - #1: Robert Plant and Jimmy Page spent over a decade together as part of one of rock’s greatest bands, the mighty Led Zeppelin, before the band's demise in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham. In the mid 1990s, almost 15 years after Led Zep dissolved, Plant and Page reunited for an MTv Unplugged special, which received rave reviews. As a result, the duo not only released the Unplugged sessions as an album entitled No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded, but also agreed to tour in 1995. After that tour, the two went back into the studio and recorded another album, entitled Walking Into Clarksdale. The title referred to a town in the Mississippi Delta, a home of Delta blues music that influenced the duo. Released in April 1998, the album went to #8 on the Billboard charts in the US, and climbed all the way to #3 in the UK. Plant and Page went back on tour in support of Walking Into Clarksdale, touring Europe and North America. This soundboard recording captures the duo durng that tour, in London on March 1 1998, 27 years ago today.  Download this one, then come back tomorrow and the next day for parts 2 and 3 of this Back To Back set. By the way, at the tour’s conclusion, Robert Plant decided he wanted to pursue some new musical directions. He and Page parted on good terms, each to return to his own solo career.

Led Zep 1975 - Back to Back - #1: During the decade of the 1970s, one band towered above all others - the mighty Led Zeppelin. Their 1975 tour found the band at the peak of their powers, both in the studio and on stage. As the tour launched, Led Zep released the double album Physical Graffiti, which went to #1 on the charts in both the US and UK. The disc also received strong critical reviews. Billboard magazine gave the disc 5 stars while Rolling stone wrote that Physical Graffiti was "the band's Tommy, Beggar's Banquet and Sgt. Pepper rolled into one." On stage, after some early issues due to Page having suffered a broken finger and Plant contacting the flu, the band rounded into form, playing one memorable show after another. In fact, by the end of the run, Plant proclaimed "this has been our most successful tour on every level and I had a great time all the way through." This soundboard recording captures Led Zep in Los Angeles on March 24, 1975, a half century ago today. Download this one, then come back tomorrow for part 2 of this Back To Back set.

GD 1972 - Back To Back - #1: For the Grateful Dead, the year 1972 would be a transitional one, marked by some incredible high points but marred by sadness. The band would integrate new keyboardist Keith Godchaux (who joined in late 1971) and his wife, vocalist Donna Jean, into the band. The Dead would travel to Europe, a legendary venture originally marked by the triple album, Europe 72, and later commemorated by the official release of every show from that tour. On August 27, 1972, the band would play a show at Veneta, OR which Deadheads rank along with the May 8, 1977 Cornell show as one for the ages. Alcohol abuse finally caught up with founding member and organist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who played his last show with the band on July 17, 1972, and eventually passed away in March 1973, another rocker whose lifestyle cost him his life at age 27. With Pigpen departing the band, the Dead lost some of their bluesy roots. The band began experimenting with some jazz influenced material, as evident on the album Wake of the Flood released the following year. As many of you know, 1973 and 1974 are often considered (along with 1977) as the Dead's peak, but 1972 set the stage. The soundboard recording captures the Dead on March 21, 1972, 53 years ago today, on night 1 of a a legendary 7 show run at the Academy Of Music in New York, perfromances that served as a warm up for the Europe 72 tour.  Download this one, then come back tomorrow and the next day for parts 2 and 3 of this Back To Back Set.

M&C 1978 - Back To Back - #1: The 1970s was a time of transformation in rock music. Not only did new genres of music, such as Punk and New Wave, emerge and flourish, but also long time bands reinvented themselves. The Jefferson Airplane, for example, became The Jefferson Starship. Fleetwood Mac transformed from a blues band to becoming one of the founders of the album oriented rock sound. The Bee Gees abandoned pop music to become leaders of the disco nation. While their change may not have been as dramatic as the 3 just mentioned, the Byrds also evolved during the late 1970s. After the band broke up in 1973, former members worked on and off with each other throughout the rest of the decade. In 1979, 3 of them, McGuinn, Clark and Hillman formally reunited to record an album and tour. The seeds of that partnership were sown in early 1978, when McGuinn and Clark played a series of acoustic shows together at small venues. Thi soundboard recording captures the duo during the early show at The Bottom Line on March 19, 1978, 47 years ago today.
