The High Five Podcast Episode 54 – 1977 Vinyl Roundup

On this week’s episode, I dig through my vinyl collection and pull out six records that represent the interesting musical era known as 1977! You get disco, funk, blues and rock!

If you’re interested in some of the episodes I mentioned in the episode, you can give them a listen. I talked about Weird Records on Episode 21 and the Foo Fighters’ Hail Satin on Episode 46.

During my brief talk about Led Zeppelin’s 1977 tour, I neglected to mention that I was speaking about these being their last shows in the United States.

And now for some music in video form! Here you have a live version of “A Fifth of Beethoven,” a whole Commodores show from 1977, “Take Me Back To Chicago” live from 1977, Tom Jones singing with Janis Joplin (because why not?), Muddy Waters Chicagofest 1981 show with Johnny Winter and Heart’s all-time classic “Barracuda” plus the Wilson Sisters and Jason Bonham doing “Stairway” for good measure.
