We wind up a week's worth of Dead on the Brizz Record Bin with a song the band played live every year between 1970 and 1995, the year Jerry Garcia died. "Going Down the Road Feelin' Bad" is a cover song that many different artists have played, but the Dead made their own...

It's day 2 of a week's worth of Grateful Dead songs on the Brizz Record Bin. Back in the early days of MTV (remember kids, the 'M' stands for Music), this was the only Grateful Dead video you could see. It comes from the opening sequence of the excellent Grateful Dead Movie, released in 1976...

In 1978, just about every artist dipped their toe into the disco pool. It's present throughout Pink Floyd's epic The Wall (1979). The Rolling Stones played with it on "Miss You." Even the Grateful Dead got funky on Shakedown Street (1978). It was produced by Little Feat's Lowell George and like most Dead studio efforts, the music was better served up live...

No, it can't be true. Yes is not in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. This isn't some take on the "Who's on First" Abbott and Costello comedy skit. The band Yes is not in the hall of fame. It's one of many outrages when it comes to that questionable institution on shores of the once flammable Lake Erie in Cleveland...

Keith Richards autobiography holds a special spot in my life. In 2010, my father was very sick and I made multiple trips to see him in Colorado that year. I was losing my hero and my best friend. It was not easy.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about The Doors? Jim Morrison of course. The other three guys were no slouches either. The origins of the band started when Ray Manzarek met Morrison at UCLA in 1965, before adding John Densmore on drums and Robbie Krieger on guitar...

You know what I hate? When I'm at a shindig and there's a bunch of no-goodnicks pulling shenanigans on people. It's that old-timey language that gets your pal Brizz strange looks. I bring this up because on this day in 1966, the final episode of the American music variety show 'Shindig...

Today's song for the Brizz Record Bin is the first song I ever heard by Dire Straits. My dad brought their debut album home in 1978 and put on Side 1. For thirty seconds, it's all atmosphere. The song begins by setting a mood. Audio fog rolling over the record grooves at thirty three revolutions per minute...

The Police were one of those bands that burned white hot for a short amount of time. Like The Doors and Hendrix before them, The Police made music that was completely their own and none of them had a dog in their album catalogs. All of their records were good, at the very least...

The Allman Brothers Band called it quits in 2014 after over forty-five years of being the premier southern blues boogie band. I've said it before and I'll say it forever- I have never seen a band so consistently damn good in concert. Whether Gregg has Dickie Betts, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks or his late brother Duane Allman playing guitar, it's always a great show...
