  1. FLO & EDDIE & THE TURTLES LIVE at The Bottom Line, NYC '79-'94

    09/18/2025

    FLO & EDDIE & THE TURTLES LIVE at The Bottom Line, NYC '79-'94

    Here's a 2-hour, 15-minute LIVE compilation of FLO & EDDIE ~ aka THE TURTLES ~ shows from the legendary, but unfortunately, now-defunct New York City nightclub, The Bottom Line, from the years 1979-1994. The compilation is comprised from two main sources: "The Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie Captured Live" and "New York 'Times' Live at The Bottom Line featuring Flo & Eddie." The "New York 'Times'" performances were recorded, with microphones literally hanging from the ceiling of The Bottom Line. Thus, the audio is not always 100%, but certainly worth hearing because it's a tremendous example of Flo & Eddie's fun, chaotic insanity ever-present during their live shows. (Quite a back-up band, as well!). Flo & Eddie are actually Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan.  We sadly lost Mark Volman on September 5, 2025, so we respectfully dedicate this recording to Mark's memory.

    beatles hour 83 Laurie Kaye audio edition

    On this episode (#83) of The Beatles Hour with Steve Ludwig, we are joined by the brilliant author/rock journalist, LAURIE KAYE.  She interviewed John Lennon & Yoko Ono on the afternoon that John was brutally taken from us later that evening. It's a surreal story of a somewhat surreal (& exciting) life in the music & radio scenes. We'll also hear of Laurie's interviews with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, & so much more. PLUS, we'll hear of the horrifying encounter Laurie had with the scum who, shortly after the encounter, shot John Lennon. Her brilliant book is entitled, CONFESSIONS OF A ROCK 'N' ROLL NAME-DROPPER - My Life Leading Up to John Lennon's Last Interview.
