Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are joined for the first time by my friend and loyal listener, David Carson, to rank the Grateful Dead's best live months from 1972-74 — my favourite era of live Dead. I thought this would be a fun way to recap our detailed examinations of that period over the past three years. We conducted it draft-style, resulting in a 'roster' of 15 months for each of us.

Send us Fan MailRock Talk turns 5! Thank you all so much for your continued interest and support!In this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's 1975 North American Tour, which we previously covered way back in Episode 3, but I wanted to discuss it again to commemorate the 50th anniversary. It's the first year of live Zeppelin I got into back in high school, so I've always had a soft spot for it, and with it being five years since we last talked about it, my opinions have shifted some...I also ranked the 1975 versions of "No Quarter" back in Episode 40 — one of my personal favourite episodes to create!Support the showInstagram — @rocktalk.dr.cropperEmail — [email protected]

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss Led Zeppelin's double album, 'Physical Graffiti,' in belated celebration of the 50th anniversary of its February 24, 1975 release.
