While Bonnaroo and Big Ears Festival take place three months and 150 miles apart, both events were created by Knoxville native Ashley Capps. Plus, both festivals have become known for their diverse lineups and their unofficial status as music discovery festivals. 

Knox News journalists Ryan Wilusz and Brianna Paciorka, who have regularly attended both festivals over the years, dive into the respective lineups to share their top picks from both bills. Listen as they discuss why each of their most anticipated artists are must-sees and why anyone on the fence about purchasing tickets should plan to attend.

In this episode, building off of last week's discussion of Led Zeppelin's 1973 North American Tour, we rank the 1973 versions of "No Quarter," just as we did for the 1975 versions two years ago in Episode 40, and for the 1977 versions last year in Episode 104.

In this episode, joined by one of my best musical friends and collaborators, ledzepfilm, we discuss Led Zeppelin's record-breaking 1973 North American Tour in celebration of its recently-concluded 50th anniversary. I first discussed this tour three years ago, way back in Episode 7, so it was a lot of fun to put it "under the microscope" once again...

This episode is really the third instalment in a trilogy of '73 Zeppelin episodes this year, as ledzepfilm and I also discussed their 1973 United Kingdom Tour in Episode 124, and their 1973 European Tour in Episode 139.

Additionally, ledzepfilm first joined me back in October 2021 to discuss Zeppelin's 1971 Japanese Tour for its 50th anniversary — Episode 67.

I highly recommend you follow ledzepfilm on all platforms, as he is, in my opinion, the best in the community at syncing concert footage with the best available audio.

Stay tuned for next week, when we will rank the 1973 versions of "No Quarter" in Episode 162!

This week we are discussing what the interweb calls the New Wave Of Classic Rock! There have been bands doing the retro-rock thing for years, but this phenomenon seems to be gaining momentum lately and we decided to focus on new-ish bands that have released albums in the last year or so. Indeed, rock n’ roll is not dead and is in the very capable hands of these killer new classics!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. The younger generation is picking up guitars and playing that classic blues-inspired hard rock again! This retro rock thing is not quite as new as the interweb is making it out to be, but who cares? It’s a breath of freshly regurgitated air!Our hope is that we turn you on to something new.

Songs this week include:

1. Rival Sons - “Guillotine” from DARKFIGHTER (2023)
2. Classless Act - “This Is For You (w/ Justin Hawkins)” from Welcome To The Show (2022)
3. Thunderpussy - “Firebreather” from Firebreather - single (2023)
4. The Cold Stares - “Nothing But The Blues” from Voices (2023)
5. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown - “Burnin’” from Dirty Work EP (2023)
6. Donna Cannone - “Pushed” from Donna Cannone (2022)
7. Jared James Nichols - “Skin ‘n Bone” from Jared James Nichols (2023)
8. Crown Lands - “Dreamer Of The Dawn” from Fearless (2023)

In this episode, joined for the first time since Episode 67 by my good friend, ledzepfilm, we discuss the 1973 portion of Led Zeppelin's UK tour in the Winter of 1972-73. It's a tour I wasn't very familiar with going into this exercise, and I was pleasantly surprised…

On this memorial episode of This Is Vinyl Tap, we discuss the life and legacy of one of rock’s most unique and imaginative guitarists, Beck. We focus on his 1968 groundbreaking album Truth. 

After his very successful, but short-lived, stint in the Yardbirds, Beck began to work on his next project. Finding an amazing supporting cast in singer Rod Stewart, bassist Ron Wood, and drummer Mickey Waller, Beck recorded an album that used the foundation of the blues to build something that was unlike anything else at the time. Beck was often called a “guitar player’s guitar player” and Truth, full of guitar wizardry, definitely backs that sentiment up. Truth was heavier, dirtier, and louder than anything that had come before it and remains an album whose impact and influence continues to be far reaching.

Hablamos del arranque del 2023 en cuanto a la rebaja o reducción del IVA a los alimentos básicos y el aviso del Fondo Monetario Internacional sobre la difícil situación a la que se enfrenta la Unión Europea de cara a 2023.

El índice euríbor a un año, que es utilizado como referencia para fijar el tipo de interés de los préstamos hipotecarios concedidos por las entidades de crédito españolas, ha subido este diciembre hasta el 3,018% desde el 2,82% del mes anterior.

El precio de la vivienda nueva se encarece. Estamos hablando de un 7,1% en 2022, el mayor aumento en 15 años. También sube el precio de la luz. El precio de la electricidad sube este martes, 3 de enero, hasta los 144,73 euros el megavatio hora, lo que supone un aumento del 26,7% respecto a los 114,24 euros megavatio hora del lunes.

El vicesecretario de economía del PP, Juan Bravo, ha avanzado que su partido no se opondrá en el parlamento al decreto-ley de ayudas que aprobó, recordemos, el martes pasado y que están dispuestos a votar a favor si el PSOE accede a mejorar con alguna de sus propuestas.

El papa emérito, Benedicto XVI, fallecido el pasado 31 de diciembre a los 95 años, ha sido despedido por miles de fieles que desfilaron por la basílica de San Pedro en el primer día de su capilla ardiente.

El Ministerio de Defensa ha reconocido la muerte de 63 militares rusos a consecuencia del impacto de un misil ucraniano contra un cuartel del Ejército ruso en Donetsk, anexionada por Moscú el septiembre pasado.

También hablamos de la sobre la consigna del Gobierno de Lula: la “reconstrucción”.

Y terminamos hablando del cumpleaños de John Paul Jones, bajista de Led Zeppelin.

In this episode, we discuss the 1972 portion of Led Zeppelin's 1972-73 UK Tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of said shows. I wasn't too familiar with this tour heading into this exercise, but I really enjoyed it — and think you will too!

In this episode — a most welcome surprise addition to the schedule — we review the recently-surfaced recording of Led Zeppelin's long-sought-after August 19, 1971 concert at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia. This was the opening night of their 1971 North American Tour.  It contains one of just four complete versions of "Gallows Pole" on record, a fairly rare cover of Eddie Cochran's "Weekend," and is arguably Robert Plant's last show with his true peak vocals...

This week we celebrate our 20th installment of an ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We bring you an in-depth exploration of an awesome boogie metal / southern rock n’ punk band from the grimy & gritty NYC Lower East Side of the 1980s: RAGING SLAB! This band featured equal parts Skynyrd and Metallica complete with a kick-ass bottleneck slide lead guitar. Touring with a cross-section of bands like Chili Peppers, Ramones, Molly Hatchet, GnR, and Warrant while boasting a southern rock stomp pre-dating The Black Crowes; we think this band Shoulda Been Huge!!! 

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we featured on the show earlier this year during our exploration of Genres From The Netherworld (Ep. 137). Robert enjoyed them so much, he asked that they be revisited at some point. Unfortunately, their amazing brand of boogie metal was never recognized to the degree that it deserved; partly due to a series of unfortunate incidences and pure bad luck. 

Songs this week include:

1. Raging Slab – “Mr. Lucky” from Assmaster (1987)
2. Raging Slab – “Get Off My Jollies” from True Death (1988)
3. Raging Slab – “Bent For Silver” from Raging Slab (1989)
4. Raging Slab – “Lord Have Mercy” from Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert (1993)
5. Raging Slab - “C’mon N’ On” from Sing Monkey Sing (1996)
6. Raging Slab – “Sir Lord Ford…” from The Dealer (2001)
7. Raging Slab – “Ruby” from (Pronounced Eat-Shit) (2002)
8. Raging Slab – “Bury Me Deep” from (Pronounced Eat-Shit) (2002)
