Great Gigs that Changed the World Northern Powerhouse Media

In episode #4, Adam & Isaac discuss the legendary rooftop show put on by The Beatles in January of 1969 at their Apple Corps HQ in London.



In what was to become The Beatles' final ever live performance, the band took to a makeshift stage on a London rooftop to perform an unannounced and relatively unplanned performance of mostly new material that was to make it onto their 'Let it Be' album.



Adam and Isaac discuss what led to the performance, the show itself, and what happened to the band in the aftermath of the show.



Thanks for listening!

In episode #3, Adam & Isaac discuss the incredible show put on by Metallica and the San Francisco symphony in 1999.



Fusing metal and heavy rock with classical music was definitely an experiment, but one that paid off in spades and silenced even the most ardent of critics! Make sure you check out the gig on Spotify or YouTube and be sure to let us know what you think.

For their second episode, father and son team Adam (42) and Isaac (10) take a deep dive into the legendary Eric Clapton MTV Unplugged performance in 1992.



Little did anyone know at the time, but this live album performance would go on to become one of Clapton's standout moments in his incredible and varied music career, earning him six Grammy awards, and 26 million album sales to date.



Isaac and Adam discuss Clapton's career, the MTV Unplugged series, the band and the setlist of this iconic performance.

Hi, and welcome to our podcast, Great Gigs that Changed the World!

We're a father and son team, Adam (42) & Isaac (10), and we spend loads of time watching incredible music concerts on YouTube. We spend so much time talking about these shows, that we thought it would be fun to press the red button and make a podcast about it!

In Episode #1, we talk about Queen's iconic 20 minute performance at the Live Aid show at London's Wembley Stadium. We talk about how the show came to pass, why it was such an iconic show for Queen, and we also dispel some of the stories and myths about Queen made popular in the hit Movie, Bohemian Rhapsody.

We both really enjoyed making it, and hope that you enjoy listening to it too.

If you have any feedback for us, or have any suggestions for iconic music concerts that we should discuss on future episodes, please contact us at greatgigsthatchangedtheworld@gmail.com.

And please leave us a review... it only takes two secs but would mean the world to us.

Thanks!

Adam & Isaac
