Speedy says: 
Van "The Man" Morrison was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, along with Cream, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Sly & The Family Stone, just to name a few.  The ever reclusive and unpredictable Mr, Morrison skipped the ceremony, having Robbie Robertson accepted the honor on his behalf, while the Counting Crows were recruited to play Caravan.  

This FM broadcast captures Van in Berkeley on October 21, 1979, 47 years ago today, on toiur in support of the album Into The Music, which he had released 2 months earlier. That disc was far more spiritual and less commercial than 1978's Wavelength, reflecting Morrison’s desire to make music that satisfied his soul. The disc received rave reviews, with Robert Christgau, for example, giving it an A and calling the album his best work since Moondance. Dave Marsh declared that the 2nd side of Into the Music was Van’s greatest side of music since Astral Weeks. Rolling Stone wrote "That's what this album is about, proudly and stunningly and with no apologies. Resurrection. Real Hope.”

Power to the People Festival, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, 10-3-2026, Part 3 - Nathaniel Rateliff | Albums That Should Exist

 

Power to the People Festival, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, 10-3-2026, Part 3 - Nathaniel Rateliff

Here's the third out of ten albums of the October 2026 Power to the People Festival. This one stars singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff.

I've posted a Nathaniel Rateliff performance before, from the 2025 FarmAid benefit concert. So I won't say much about him this time.

At the time of this concert, he hadn't released a new studio album since 2024. So the songs here are from a variety of his albums. Plus, "Standing in the Rain Boys" is an unreleased song at the time of this performance.

This album is 33 minutes long.

VA - Shake! Sixties Brit Mod Nuggets [2023] (2 x LP)

Shake! Sixties Brit Mod Nuggets, released in 2023 as a double LP on Demon Records, offers a lively and well‑curated look at the British mod scene as it moved from sharp rhythm and blues roots toward brighter pop and early beat energy. The set carries the catalogue number DEMREC 1043 and was pressed on coloured vinyl, adding a collectible dimension for listeners who follow modern archival reissues. Although the original tracks span 1963 to 1967, the compilation presents them with a clear narrative flow, shaped by careful sequencing and strong attention to label sources such as Decca, Pye, Columbia, Parlophone and Fontana.

The first LP leans into the rawer side of mod culture. Many tracks were originally issued as 45 rpm singles, often in modest quantities, and several have become sought after by collectors who specialise in early British R and B. The music carries the urgency of small clubs and youth venues, with tight guitar lines, brisk tempos and vocals that balance attitude with charm. The production style reflects the era’s studio limitations, yet the energy remains vivid, shaped by musicians who understood how to keep rhythm at the centre.

The second LP moves toward the more melodic end of the mod spectrum. Here the influence of soul, beat and emerging pop forms becomes clearer, with tracks that use brighter harmonies, cleaner guitar tones and more polished arrangements. Several selections come from groups who never reached national charts, making their inclusion valuable for listeners who enjoy discovering lesser known acts. The mastering preserves the character of the original singles while giving the set a consistent sonic profile.

As a whole, Shake! Sixties Brit Mod Nuggets offers a warm, detailed snapshot of a scene defined by style, rhythm and youthful drive. It treats the music with care, presenting both familiar names and overlooked gems in a format that suits late night listening and deep archival exploration. (B)
