I'm not a big fan of the band but I've enjoyed the series thus far. They've profiled top notch artists.

The last two episodes, Nashville and Austin, have been real well done. I am really looking forward to their New Orleans episode.

I just heard Mojo Nixon plug it during his show on Outlaw Country (Sirius 60)

Supposedly the legendary Roky Erickson was/is going to be featured

I have enjoyed it so far... I even liked the Nashville one where the "main host" was that ZB Band...

Although I'm not a fan of his tunes, Ive listened at the end and I prob like the Nashville one the best so far.. I still need to watch Austin..

They're pretty well done. I'm glad they did a bit but I wish they would have went in to Wax Trax a little more with the Chicago. They revolutionized EDM sound.

Austin was pretty cool. I paused it when they showed a list of bands for the SXSW in teh 80's. Brought back memories of seeing Bad Mutha Goose, Killer B's, etc.

I know Baloo will be upset with me but I thought Bad Brains was NYC band.

Just picked up on it the last week or so. I've seen them all except for Chicago. Will get that one On Demand tonight. It's a really good series. I think all Foo Fighters songs sound the same though.

I've found that I like each song more after seeing the episode on it.

I'm listening to the album for the first time on Spotify.

Congregation is pretty great. I think that is the Nashville song.

Ive watched them all except for the DC one. Nashville was my favorite followed by Austin

Still hard to believe Stevie Ray Vaughan dying fairly young

So I hear rumblings of a pop up show at a small venue to coincide with the Nola episode. True?

If they follow suit with the previous episodes, yes. I'm wondering where, though? HoB? Saenger?

I am loving it. The LA episode is great so far tonight. They are covering all types of music & locations around the LA area. Nashville episode was incredible. Can't wait to see the NOLA episode.
