“Live in Concert” Sunday night from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
This week: (12/3/23)
On this broadcast of Live in Concert, we’re going back to U2’s “Experience + Innocence” tour. Their tour was jam packed, and off days became sacred- it was the only time for both the band and the crew to rest.
June 11, 2018 was one of those scheduled off days. But it didn’t last long. Instead of enjoying a quiet night in a luxury hotel in New York City, the band decided to make history with a legendary performance at the world famous Apollo Theatre in the Harlem neighborhood of New York.
Instead of playing in front of 60,000 fans in a massive stadium, on a high tech stage full of the latest technology, U2 scaled everything down and played on a tiny old wooden stage in front of just 1,500 incredibly lucky fans! They went back to their roots, and their performance was stunning.
We’ll also hear classic live sets by:
Pete Townshend – Recorded live in Cannes, France, on 1/29/1986
Collective Soul – Recorded live in Atlanta, GA, on 4/23/2005
Queen – Recorded live in Frankfurt, Germany, on 2/2/1979

On this broadcast of Live in Concert, we’re going back to Cheap Trick’s 1995 “Woke Up With a Monster” tour.
We’ll take you to a wonderful little venue, just off the world famous Las Vegas strip, called The Joint. It’s an intimate room, holding just 4,500 concert goers. The stage is small, the audience close, the acoustics are superb, and the vibe is all Rock and Roll!
It was captured live on October 16, 1995. Cheap Trick has always loved playing these types of shows, and their performance on this night was legendary.
