Gregg Allman’s self-assurance and pride in his work is too obvious to ignore throughout the third edition of concert recordings from the late Southerner’s vault, this one captured on January 11, 1986. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/324360/gregg...

Now 45 years old, the Grateful Dead’s live album 'Reckoning' is a prime example of the newfound inspiration the band experienced with the recruitment of keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Brent Mydland. glidemagazine.com/324113/45-ye...

Disappointed this past Monday 3/30 watching @thedailyshow.com where no mention was made of John Perry Barlow's connection to @gratefuldead during the interview?!?!?

This landmark version of Robin Trower's 'Live!' not only reimagines the original, but renders it obsolete. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/323994/an-of...

50 years later, Led Zeppelin's 'Presence' offers relatively unembellished, deceptively intense performances that comprise what is arguably the most true-to-life record this quartet ever issued. glidemagazine.com/324047/50-ye...

The versatile guitar hero Robben Ford impresses mightily on 'Two Shades of Blue' as well, this despite dividing his time between singing and playing. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/323808/robbe...

With 35 years of hindsight, R.E.M.’s 'Out of Time' sounds like even more of a vast stylistic departure from its predecessors than at the time of its original issue. glidemagazine.com/323327/35-ye...

Trump's mixed messaging on wanting to end his war. Trump’s gushes over Putin amid reports Russia may be helping Iran target U.S. troops, Trump family grifting, Epstein files updates, and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

My review of Pat Metheny's 'Side Eye III+' was posted at @Glide Magazine here: glidemagazine.com/322689/side-... #patmetheny #lylemays #patmethenygroup #sideeye #chrisfishmankeyboards #jamesfrancieskeyboards #joedysondrums #luiscontepercussion #daryljohnsbass #uniquitymusic #thepresshousepr #info

Pat Metheny's latest album is filled with bright, fluid guitar abounds, underpinned by limber rhythm work full of flourishes that only serve to emphasize the stability of the arrangement as well as the performance. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/322689/side-...

And vis a vis a previous post about #thedailyshow's #jonstewart overlooking the triumphant USA women's hockey team, I have to confess some disillusionment with #desilydic: she made no reference to her sisters in her bit and just yucked it up on a dimwitted level instead...C'MON NOW!?!?!?!?!?

I would like to suggest that #jonstewart committed an egregious oversight on #thedailyshow last night: in the bitt about USA hockey triumphs HE NEVER MENTIONED THE WOMEN'S TEAM...that also won gold and did so likewise in overtime--thought you were an enlightened rogue Jon!?!?...

In extended retrospect, it takes careful perusal of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s timeline to discern the significance of the band’s fourth studio album, the now fifty-year-old 'Gimme Back My Bullets.' glidemagazine.com/321967/50-ye...

'One Moment In Time – Live In The USA' is the logical extension of the process of refinement that Robin Trower has undertaken with his studio albums of recent years. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/321812/robin...

On the 55th anniversary of its release, Mountain's ‘Nantucket Sleighride’ is still filled with heavy and emotional peaks. glidemagazine.com/321683/55-ye...

It didn’t take six decades to discern how much Bob Dylan’s 'Desire' benefited from its release almost immediately in the wake of the previous autumn’s Rolling Thunder tour. 60 years later, the album is one of the landmark LPs in Bob’s history. glidemagazine.com/321053/50-ye...

This archival effort devoted to 'Let It Be' documents how the Replacements sounded at their best, that is, as if they were bashing away in a moment of purely joyful, unfettered inspiration. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/320808/the-r...

Even the hindsight so clear as sixty years doesn’t diminish the glorious sound of the Byrds on 'Turn! Turn! Turn!.' Even today, echoes of its exalting tones resound like little else of its time. glidemagazine.com/320607/60-ye...
