xmas special with a special guest

Tonight, we’re diving into a massive batch of Beatles and solo-Beatles history!
We’ll revisit the original “Free As a Bird” single, John Lennon’s roaring performance with The Dirty Mac, and Paul McCartney’s legendary set at the 12/12/12 Concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden.
We’ll explore George Harrison’s Dark Horse album era, Ringo’s charming voice role on Scouse the Mouse, and two landmark Lennon releases — Live Peace in Toronto and John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
We’ll spin highlights from Wings’ live masterpiece Wings Over America, plus the Beatles’ UK compilation A Collection of Beatles Oldies.
We continue our deep dives into Anthology 4 and the Power to the People box set — and shine a light on Apple Records’ The Iveys, who are back in the spotlight with a brand-new Anthology of unreleased demos.
Throughout the night, we’ll also celebrate John with special tributes, plus birthday spotlights for Steve Cropper, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Cliff, and Frank Sinatra.
And of course: your requests, Beatles history, and more hidden gems!
