Led Zeppelin Documentary, Stairway to Heaven Omission
A new Netflix documentary on Led Zeppelin has drawn criticism for failing to mention or play "Stairway to Heaven," arguably the band's most famous song. The film focuses on the band's early tours and the negative reviews they initially received from *Rolling Stone* magazine. The omission of the iconic track is seen as a bizarre oversight given its status as a standard in rock history.
In Memoriam: Tim Feerick of Dance Gavin Dance
The show acknowledges the passing of Tim Feerick, the 34-year-old bass player for the band Dance Gavin Dance, who died just before the start of a tour. A listener requested "emergency karma" for the band members as they cope with the loss. The hosts offer their condolences and support for the musicians.
Seamus Fleming from the "State of Jefferson" (Northern California) requested a performance on a tuned clay rock instrument. The segment included "Goat Karma" and a discussion on the geographical boundaries of the proposed 51st state.
An invitation was received for the Led Zeppelin reunion concert and Ahmet Ertegun tribute in London. This sparked a recollection of seeing the band during their first West Coast tour, specifically noting Jimmy Page's use of a violin bow on his guitar. A strange occurrence involving a perfectly timed scream in the audience led to speculation about the use of professional shills in early rock performances.
