Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, This is Buzznight, the host of the Take in
a Walk podcast music History on Foot, and welcome to
this week in music history, the week of April fourteenth.
Then we go over to the music History desk to
podcaster music fan Music Maven guitar maestro Harry Jacobs at
the music History desk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What's going on, Harry?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Do you just pull those things out of a hat?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Like do you have a list of like you read
on a little piece of paper and they really says,
hair it up, head rotate.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, you get a lot of them, so yeah, I
got to add more to it though, so let me
know I will.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
This is a good week, Buzz, Another good week.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
In nineteen sixty nine, Lennon and McCartney recorded the Ballad
of John and Yoko and a little Beatles fact that
I had no idea about. The Ballad of John and
Yoko featured McCartney and Lennon playing all the instruments on
that song.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I just learned that because I was researching the week.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, I didn't know that. And what was the band
of the lyrical content about.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
The band on the contests is the issue here.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
The song was banned by some radio stations, I think
because it used Christ Christ. You know, it ain't easy,
you know, that's the that's it. And I think at
that point in time, you know, you were careful about
you know, the Christians taking the Lord's name, and and
it was it was that and this was was this
around the time that that Lennon said that he was
more they were more popular than.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
God or Jesus or something.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I think a little after that, but nonetheless that was
always fresh in people's minds.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So that's probably why as well.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, so so the the what buzz is alluding to
is that song did get banned by some radio stations
because of that content in there. But I do find
it interesting that those guys played the instruments, and I
knew that about McCartney. By the way, McCartney has on
some of his own albums, played keyboards, played bass, played
guitar and also drums, which I had no idea he
(01:59):
was he had the drumming in his background.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
The multi talented one.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
In nineteen seventy, Credence made their debut in the United Kingdom.
They did a couple of nights in the Royal Albert Hall,
a legendary gig from Credens nineteen seventy.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You know, someone should do the definitive story and everything
that went so outs for the Van Creten's Clear Order revival.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You know, I'll tell you we're doing this on on
Zoom and probably won't. I don't know if you put
videos of this out or not. But I met John Foger.
I want to hear about your experience with him too.
I'm sure you've you've had the chance to meet him.
But I met him right after he was allowed to
start singing the songs again ninety seven ninety eight in
(02:48):
that neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Same here around that time. Okay, yep.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
So when I met him, I said, you know, I
play guitar, and I said, you or a lot of
your music. You know Who'll Stop the Rain and you
know Born on a Byo. These were the first songs
I ever taught myself how to play on the guitar,
and I never It was a really neat conversation.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
With him, and then.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I never I would never take tickets like the good
tickets that the radio station would get and take advantage
of them. But we had two front row tickets to
that concert, and I said, these are these are mine
tonight and he he played like Born on a Bayou
and looked down. He threw me, you know, a little
(03:36):
white Fender guitar pick like the one I'm holding right
now when he finished the song, and I thought, that's
pretty cool. That is cool, that's pretty cool. Tell me
about your experience with them.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Just a tremendous just a gentleman gentle emphasis as well.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Saw him play a industry show at the hard Rock
in New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So that was a cool place to see him and
he I think it was.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That period that you just described where he was just
able to start doing the songs my recollection. Wasn't it
a big lawsuit with with Fantasy Records?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
With his brother too, was there was an issue? Yeah, well,
and there's a there's a version of Credence that's out
I know with Tom it's Cretan's clear Water Revisited or
something like that, which is no John Fogerty, which.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Is just bad.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
John doesn't even use the name anymore.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
But it was it was a momentous thing when he
could finally sing those songs.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
One of the things that had been missing from.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
You know, our concert, you know, ability to see live
was to see him.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Sing those songs and it was amazing to see him.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And he still sounds good.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, he sounds sounds great.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It sounds great.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
And those are for people wanting to start to learn
how to play guitar. Those are really easy, fun songs
to play, just three or four chord songs.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
So at any rate.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Nineteen seventy CCR made their debut in the United Kingdom.
They played the Albert Hall for the first time. In
nineteen seventy one, the Beatles won the Academy Award. I
was not aware that they won that, and for Best
Original Score for Let It Be.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I do know that either, No, I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Great movie, great album. You know, they didn't make a
bad album. In my opinion, there wasn't anything that was
bad that came out.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
The only thing that in years later I might not
say bad. But a question mark of is how the
estate keeps trying to put different stuff out, redone things out,
rehash things out, AI oriented things out. Those things have
always as a fan, even left me flat, you know,
(05:54):
like I always can't help but think probably just like you,
John have wanted this.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Now you know what George have wanted this?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know interesting, Yeah, George underrated as a guitar player.
You had Alex Lifson for you know, guitar player from
Rush who mentioned George Harrison is one of his influences
guitar style wise.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
But I don't disagree with you in terms of.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Those projects that happened, not not all were bad, but
some have been bad.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, Well, the stuff that was unearthed in those projects
that would be part of those collections, you know, the
rarity stuff, that type of thing that I find cool,
Just like we were previously talking, you know about Springsteen
releasing the newer stuff, and you know the catalog stuff
(06:48):
Dylan's done outer his career continues.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So I take no issue with that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's just trying to turn something into magic with none
of the people.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Still.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, I'm curious about how it works too.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I mean, I don't know if either of us will
be able to provide clarity on this. But when you've
got someone like Bruce or Dylan that puts new music
out at this point or older music, right, So the
project we mentioned in last week's discussion about the new
Bruce stuff that's coming out the tracks, I wonder if
(07:27):
that music falls under his old deal. Right, he sold
his catalog for half a billion, five hundred million dollars
Bruce got for it. Does he reap the money from
that project? This was all obviously pre deal. I wonder
how he gets paid on that. I'm curious, not that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'd be curious too.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You have to think that when those you know, the
big deal was signed off on, that there was a
roadmap knowing this is coming out or this is coming out.
So yeah, it had to be valued somehow, I would guess,
you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Stick.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
April sixteenth, nineteen sixty four, the Stones released their self
titled album in the UK, their debut. Obviously, you know,
post Beatles. Beatles were first to the Races and Stones
after the fact, but still fairly badass. Oh yeah, absolutely.
In nineteen seventy, Paul McCartney released McCartney, which was, you know,
(08:22):
something that marked his departure from the Beatles right after
the breakup.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
His first project was just.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
McCartney, which I thought was a great first project after
the Beatles.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, I agree completely. We could breeze by this.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Nineteen eighty five April eighteenth, Wham became the first Western
pop group to play in China. I was not a
wham fan. Wake me up before you go. I'm guessing
you weren't as well. Okay, anyway, I can guess by
your silence that I've probably even gone to the wrong topic.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
This may not even make the air, No it should.
Is there even air at this point? Is okay?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
All right?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Fair enough for the record, I am not a wham fan,
and by Buzz's silence, I guess he's.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Not as well.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I'll speak for Buzz.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I would never pull you a wham fan. Okay, thank you,
there you go.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
April nineteenth, nineteen eighty, Brian Johnson debuted as acdc's lead singer.
Now there's conflicting information about this. I did a lot
of research on this this morning, because bon Scott died
in February, the nineteenth of February in nineteen eighty, and
within a month they brought Brian Johnson in.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
This is an interesting fact.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I had never heard this the way that Angus Young
heard about Brian Johnson.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Do you know how that happened? You know, because you
had Brian Johnson on here.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, I mean I had a short interview with him.
I had like a tipbnute I hit with him, but
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Brian was referred to Angus Young by bon Scott because
he was in a band. I don't know if I'm
even pronouncing this right, but Geordy GEO R the I
E and in the United Kingdom. So bon Scott had
told Angus, hey, this guy's great, he's something else and
they had done a version of a whole Lot of Rosie.
(10:15):
That's how that connection was made between bon Scott and
Brian Johnson. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, if you want to see something cool with Brian Johnson,
you've probably seen it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You might have turned me on to it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
This little like YouTube TV show that that he does or.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Has done, where he interviews people.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And the one in particular that I just thought was
so wonderful was Brian Johnson interviewing the great Mark Knopfler.
What an enjoyable Uh just watch and you know, mutual
Admiration Society. Two somewhat unlikely guys to be together, but
I thought that was a sweet interview.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
And two other unlikely people to be to get Brian
Johnson and Robert Plant because that's out there too. That
may be what I had sent you to catch your attention, right,
which is great.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Also, yeah, wonderful, Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So anyway, that's the Brian Johnson thing. So the way
that everything came together for me to get this little
piece connected to April nineteenth is that there was a
concert apparently in Belgium, which I'm having a tough time verifying,
but it literally all came together at the same time
in nineteen eighty and in the spring March or April,
(11:31):
between bon Scott dying in February, Brian Johnson being auditioned
the next month, and then within weeks of that they
did the concert in Belgium, and then they were recording
back in Black right after that.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
So it all happened in a very tight window of time.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yep, and all right is still kicking it to this day.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Many now they tossed him for a while and then
put what's his face from duns and Rose to Axel Rose.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
So yeah, Axel Rose replaced him for a while. There
was an issue with.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
His hearing, that's right, that's right, And the word was
they tossed him, but then they ended up taking him
back in he said this is actually out now.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh yeah, great, it'd be great to see them.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, and what happened is he got to write you know,
technology for his hearing. I think he I think he
even came to see a doctor in the Boston area,
possibly to help him with the proper hearing aid and everything,
and really, you.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Know, brightened up his life. Understandably.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He lives in the US at least part time. He's
going a home in.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Florida, Florida, yep. And against the racing cars or whatever.
That's right, I hope not too fast.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
April twentieth, nineteen sixty eight, the Stones recorded Jumping Jack
Flash and Olympic Studios in London. That song hit number
one in the UK and number three in the US.
One of those songs you have to if you're a
guitar player, you have to learn how to play it.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's a pre requisite. But just a great legendary lick.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh yeah, I mean, just to this day, one of
the great songs to you know, drive down the road
and listen to yes, crank up and it still sounds awesome.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
We were talking about the Stones playlist for a drive.
That's definitely one that's that's on there. So that will
conclude this week in music history. We close up the
desk until next time. Already rope us We, Harry.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Jacobs, thanks for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
On a look at the Week in music history of
April fourteenth, and thanks for listening to the Taking a

Speaker 2 (00:24):
What's going on, Harry?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Do you just pull those things out of a hat?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Like do you have a list of like you read
on a little piece of paper and they really says,
hair it up, head rotate.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, you get a lot of them, so yeah, I
got to add more to it though, so let me

Speaker 3 (00:39):

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Do you know how that happened? You know, because you
had Brian Johnson on here.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, I mean I had a short interview with him.
I had like a tipbnute I hit with him, but
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Brian was referred to Angus Young by bon Scott because
he was in a band. I don't know if I'm
even pronouncing this right, but Geordy GEO R the I
E and in the United Kingdom. So bon Scott had
told Angus, hey, this guy's great, he's something else and
they had done a version of a whole Lot of Rosie.
(10:15):
That's how that connection was made between bon Scott and
Brian Johnson. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, if you want to see something cool with Brian Johnson,
you've probably seen it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You might have turned me on to it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
This little like YouTube TV show that that he does or.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Has done, where he interviews people.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And the one in particular that I just thought was
so wonderful was Brian Johnson interviewing the great Mark Knopfler.
What an enjoyable Uh just watch and you know, mutual
Admiration Society. Two somewhat unlikely guys to be together, but
I thought that was a sweet interview.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
And two other unlikely people to be to get Brian
Johnson and Robert Plant because that's out there too. That
may be what I had sent you to catch your attention, right,
which is great.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Also, yeah, wonderful, Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So anyway, that's the Brian Johnson thing. So the way
that everything came together for me to get this little
piece connected to April nineteenth is that there was a
concert apparently in Belgium, which I'm having a tough time verifying,
but it literally all came together at the same time
in nineteen eighty and in the spring March or April,
(11:31):
between bon Scott dying in February, Brian Johnson being auditioned
the next month, and then within weeks of that they
did the concert in Belgium, and then they were recording
back in Black right after that.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
So it all happened in a very tight window of time.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yep, and all right is still kicking it to this day.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Many now they tossed him for a while and then
put what's his face from duns and Rose to Axel Rose.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
So yeah, Axel Rose replaced him for a while. There
was an issue with.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
His hearing, that's right, that's right, And the word was
they tossed him, but then they ended up taking him
back in he said this is actually out now.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh yeah, great, it'd be great to see them.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, and what happened is he got to write you know,
technology for his hearing. I think he I think he
even came to see a doctor in the Boston area,
possibly to help him with the proper hearing aid and everything,
and really, you.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Know, brightened up his life. Understandably.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He lives in the US at least part time. He's
going a home in.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Florida, Florida, yep. And against the racing cars or whatever.
That's right, I hope not too fast.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
April twentieth, nineteen sixty eight, the Stones recorded Jumping Jack
Flash and Olympic Studios in London. That song hit number
one in the UK and number three in the US.
One of those songs you have to if you're a
guitar player, you have to learn how to play it.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's a pre requisite. But just a great legendary lick.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh yeah, I mean, just to this day, one of
the great songs to you know, drive down the road
and listen to yes, crank up and it still sounds awesome.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
We were talking about the Stones playlist for a drive.
That's definitely one that's that's on there. So that will
conclude this week in music history. We close up the
desk until next time. Already rope us We, Harry.
