1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,039
Speaker 1: I'm Buzzsnight.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm the host of the Take of a Walk podcast

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Music History on Foot, and welcome to another edition of

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: This Week in Music History for the week of January sixth,

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: and we go to the music history desk to my

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: dear friend, a longtime radio pro, programming pro and fan

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: of music, mister Harry Jacobs.

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Hello, Harry, I appreciate being a lot for the ride.

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: All right, So, how does the opening of the year

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: look in terms of happenings in music history.

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Beginning of January and seventy sixth I when you think

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: about this for a second, think about, you know, in

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: the history of live albums, what the biggest ones would

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: be in our lifetime. January of nineteen seventy six. Peter

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive came out this week.

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: What a way to start that year.

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: Huge album, arguably one of the you know, Rolling Stone

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: I think how to number three of their live albums

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: of all time.

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Not a bad way to start nineteen seventy six, So

21
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. Harry.

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: I was at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: and working on the radio there at a station called WVUD,

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: which was owned by the university, a commercial college FM station,

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: which was a rarity. So I was just beginning to

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: work there as a student but also as a paid

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: full timer. And then Frampton Comes Alive comes out. Mind

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: you big Midwest act. Certainly, Peter Frampton, he exploded beyond

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: the Midwest certainly with this album. But as someone who

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: was manning the request line phones and when Frampton Comes

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: Alive came out, man, those wonderful folks from Ohio, they

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 2: would call and request, you know, lines on my face,

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Frampton comes Alive.

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Something's happening.

35
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: It was just it was the album and it was

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: an amazing thing to sort of witness in real time

37
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: as we were playing it for the folks of that Dayton,

38
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: Ohio area.

39
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: Album got a lot of play on rock radio and

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: pop radio too. I remember, you know, I grew up

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: in New England where you are now, but I remember

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: on you know pro FM and JB one O five

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: listening out of Providence, even you know the Boston stations

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: playing show Me the Way and Baby I Love Your Way,

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: and the rock station's doing it as well.

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: It was pretty incredible.

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: It was a monster and it's so nice seeing everything

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: come full Circle ending twenty twenty four for Peter Frampton

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: I was fortunate to be able to.

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: Sort of watch and cover that there in the press

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: room and to see the joy with Peter Frampton up there,

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: certainly playing with Keith Urban, which was pretty amazing, and

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: also being there because he was inducted by the one

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: and only Roger Daltrey. It was a magical moment, Harry,

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: for sure.

57
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: You know, And it was one of those songs I

58
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: hadn't I knew. Keith Urban, by the way, was a

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: really good guitar player. I had no idea until I

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: saw them walk through. Do You Feel Like We Do Together?

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: Is a great clip. I had no idea he was

62
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: bigger in the Midwest than anywhere at the beginning either.

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: That's an interesting fact.

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe it goes back Harry too, that

65
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: you know, Humble Pie had those sort of interesting pockets

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: of audience there. There was certainly East coast, West coast

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: eventually for you know, Humble Pie, but I think some

68
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: of that really caught on in the Midwest as well,

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: because the Midwest still to this day loves to rock

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: and roll.

71
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely good and you know, I was wondering what

72
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: was going on with his health. Obviously, people that saw

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: that clip would see him sitting down. Anyone that's seen

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: him knows that he plays sitting down. He's got an

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: autoimmune disease. It's called inclusion body myocytis, and it's a

76
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: degenerative thing, you know, with his nerves, and it's caused

77
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: problems with him, you know, being able to stand up

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: and even playing sometimes can be difficult for him.

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: Great to see him though, on.

80
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: The you know, getting inducted and then getting to play

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: with with Keith on that legendary song.

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: It was a wonderful thing to witness and great to

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: see his happiness after it all went down, just kind

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: of watching in awe with Keith urban to his side

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: and Daltrey doing his comedy stick.

87
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: That's right.

88
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: Well anyway, nineteen seventy six, eleven million copies of that,

89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: and that remained on the charts for a long time

90
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: over the years, so it did really.

91
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Well in nineteen seventy five.

92
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 3: This week, a thousand Zeppelin fans cause about thirty thousand

93
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: dollars in damage to the Boston Garden well waiting for

94
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: tickets to go on sale.

95
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: It was a rush for tickets the band.

96
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: The band was playing on February fourth in Boston, and

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 3: you know, there was a little damage to the garden

98
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: and Kevin White canceled that show at the Garden.

99
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: And what is it when you think about it, as

100
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: someone who grew up in the Boston area, Harry how

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: mayor Kevin White always had to come to the rescue

102
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: of something or the shutdown of something. You know that

103
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: was going on at the Boston Garden. So I hadn't

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: remembered this particular moment that you'd talk about there. But

105
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: then when you think about it and thinking about how

106
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: mayor White had to keep the peace and you know,

107
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: provincial Boston. Not surprising that that all went down.

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: The People's Republic of Boston under Kevin White, as far

109
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: as I'm concerned, But yeah, he had to come to

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: the rescue and do his thing. And in nineteen sixteen,

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: while the Beatles were filming Let it Be, George Harrison

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: left the Beatles.

113
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Did you know this?

114
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: He was frustrated by the Dynamics in particular, wasn't pleased

115
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: with McCartney and the way he dominated the band.

116
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Is that something you were familiar with not to this degree.

117
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: It came to light in greater detail watching the amazing documentary,

118
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: and sort of you could kind of see how George

119
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: sort of felt a little bit like, what.

120
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Am I a hired hand or something? You know.

121
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: He didn't feel like he was being heard to him.

122
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: It didn't feel like a collaboration. So I knew there

123
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: was tension, we all did, but the documentary certainly did

124
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: put a light on it in a different way.

125
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Crazy story.

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: Two other things of importance happened this week January tenth.

127
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: RCA introduced the forty five, which they claimed would revolutionize music,

128
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: including offering the most I can't laugh. And while I'm

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 3: reading this, offering the most durable and highest fidelity format

130
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 3: at the time, think about that the forty five is

131
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: the highest fidelity format.

132
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Have come aways, haven't we? I think so? Yeah.

133
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, when you had to

134
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: get those little adapters to put in the forty five

135
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: to make sure that it went into the proper spindle,

136
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: you know, And you occasionally see some I don't know,

137
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: I guess some person who finds themselves a little too

138
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: cool for the room, who is wearing one of those

139
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: adapters around their neck. Have you ever seen one of

140
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: those that someone wears as a fashion statement.

141
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: I have, But what I've also seen is someone wearing

142
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: it as a T shirt, a big logo on a

143
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: T shirt.

144
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that.

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: The fashion statement around the neck maybe is a bit

146
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: much for me, But who am I to say?

147
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: So? You're talking to like the same way Flavo Flave

148
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: wears his clock, These people wear the forty five, yes, sir?

149
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Around there? All right?

150
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: On that note, I got one more pop culture item

151
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: for you, and that'll be the end of this week.

152
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety four, Nancy Kerrigan was attacked in Detroit.

153
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: It was later linked to Tanya Harding. Do you remember

154
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: the guy that was in the middle of that. Remember

155
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: the guy? Remember?

156
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: Oh, when you tell me, I'm going to say, yes,

157
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: I know who that is.

158
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Galilee.

159
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: Yes, whacked Nancy Kerrigan from Stoton, Mass.

160
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to Jeff Galilee. That's a really good question.

161
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: I was going to say the same thing about Tanya Harding.

162
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: It is probably available as one of those people selling

163
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: videos or whatever to his fan base.

164
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: I can't I can't imagine that.

165
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: Because he was so maligned for his crime, Jeff Galuley

166
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: changed his name to Jeff Stone.

167
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: By the way, this could have been what Bill Buckner

168
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: should have done after the nineteen eighty six Matt's Game.

169
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: He should have just changed his name and that would

170
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: be the end of that. But Galulei made the right

171
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: play by the way. He served his sentence and then

172
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: changed his name to Jeff Stone.

173
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: And now it looks like used cars and other various

174
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: businesses in that ilk.

175
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: He had enough of the name and he had to

176
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: change it.

177
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: My god.

178
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,079
