It’s all here, from great quotes and cameos to the killer soundtrack. So sit back, put it up to 11, and enjoy!

“if you want to be with the 1.3 billion dollar man, you gotta put up with the ghost of Linda.”The Beatles are arguably the greatest band of all-time. But in 1970 the band broke up, and life went on.

Mike’s sister Debbie joins to reminisce about a 1994 Maple Leaf Gardens show.

With over 300 million albums sold, Elton John reached incredible highs in a career that spanned 6 decades.

And that time you should have just gone to the show by yourself.
