  • 2025.42 Power to the People Afternoon Show Review.
    Oct 19 2025

    Sean Lennon provides an interesting look at the political Lennons from the early 1970's. Disc One (which we are not covering) is a modern "reimagining" of "John Lennon: Live in New York City" - a "best of" combination of the afternoon and evening shows. We start on the afternoon show. The mix, the setlist and more.

  • 2025.41 Single Fantasy Pt. 2 Ringo (and Paul!)
    Oct 13 2025

    More fantasizing, hypothesizing and Beatle-izing on what might happen were Paul and Ringo to decide to go on tour together. Not advertised as "a Beatles reunion", just two old rock and roll friends joining their talents to play some music (both together and separately), and to pay tribute to some of their comrades in guitar-based arms.

  • 2025.40 Looking for Lennon (review/overview)
    Oct 5 2025

    Lonnie Pena and I dive into YouTube (and BluRay/DVD) as we consider the 2018 Documentary "Looking For Lennon". David Bedford and Roger Appleton consider the Lennons as they came to Liverpool from Ireland, through to Alf and Julia, and then young John's unconventional upbringing from Mimi and Julia, and how all this would lead to Lennon's reaction to schooling and authority, which would eventually lead to meeting one James Paul McCartney, and changing the world.

  • 2025.39 Single Fantasy! Paul and Ringo!
    Sep 29 2025

    This week we play a little "What If" and consider what Paul might choose to play were he and Ringo to decide to go on the road for a tour of indeterminate length. More Beatles? More solo? Would he take advantage of the "Wings-mania" that (hopefully) will be running the country in the next few months? Marv and I consider the possibilities and playlists, with Ringo's side (eventually) to follow!

  • 2025.38 Hari, Oates ... and Idle?
    Sep 22 2025

    Lots of funny costumes this month, as George, Eric, Neil, the Splinter Boys, Hall and Oates all hang out together. They are joined by Macca, Spinal Tap, news concerning Paul's additional tour dates, Ringo talking about Mae West (but not her sweaty vest), and others!

  • 2025.37 Splinter, Larry Hosford, Legs Larry Smith, Tom Scott, George Harrison ... and Wings?
    Sep 14 2025

    The next disc in "Looney" turns into a discussion of the "Wings Anthology". We talk, clips of Paul (and friends) covering many of the songs on the LP, and chat concerning John and Paul in the seventies. We do finally get to "George and..." (it will be completed next week), as we talk about songs George guests on from Splinter (their second album, including ... a bit of Japanese), Tom Scott, "Legs" Larry Smith, and his namesake Larry Hosford. A Paul and George week, with some John and Ringo too! #madeonzencastr.

  • 2025.36 Lennon Acoustic
    Sep 7 2025

    Martin and I go back a bit more than twenty years to a time before Superdeluxe Editions, when the Lennon estate was uncertain of the best way to proceed. Their decision? An album called "Acoustic." Part "Unplugged", part "Live", part "Unreleased" Unfortunately, too much of it felt like "Sampler for the Lennon Anthology we just released." Has time helped, hurt, or not changed the reputation, feel and listen-ability of this release. We give it a spin and let you know what we think!

  • 2025.35 Revolver vs. Pepper
    Sep 1 2025

    Lonnie Pena and I talk Anthologies 1-3, the previous video releases, and fun with Disney+. We follow with thoughts on the last twenty years of "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper". Rolling Stone Magazine has had Pepper on a bit of a downward trajectory (it was "the greatest album of all time in 2003"), while Revolver has maintained a higher standing. Why? Was it the standardization of the catalogue? CDs? Streaming? Psychedelia? All this and more... #madeonzencastr.
