hello

Congratulations on completing the Fall Fundraising Marathon.
After all that TALKING it’s time for donor payback.
2 hours of music. Wall to wall.
At the top of hour two it’s our first Live at the Fillmore feature.
The music played by bands and artists at the Fillmore East and West in the late 60’s and throughout the 70’s is still the finest showcase of music that defined a generation.

Lead by the wildly outrageous Bill Graham The Fillmores in San Francisco and NY City were the very best showcase any band could get.
2 and at times 3 artists sharing the stage – one after the other.
They did 2 shows on Friday and Saturday nights. Bands could always bring guests on stage. Sometimes it was the same bands they were sharing the stage with.
Frank Zappa invited John and Yoko.
Triple bills were normal.
The Mothers of Invention, Buddy Miles Express and Chicago played on the same night.
Pairings like The Kinks, & Bonzo Dog!   Ike & Tina Turner with Fats Domino opening.
Most nights were recorded which is why there are many albums called Live at the Fillmore.
Top of an hour two on this Mulligan Stew  – in one live set is
Crosby Stills Nash and Young. When they liked each other.
King  Curtis and Billy Preston with a very funky My Sweet Lord.
Lucinda Williams
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The Allman Brothers (of course)
And The Grateful Dead (of course)

Also on The Stew.
Adam Cohen
Led Zeppelin
Robert Plant and Allison Krauss
Serena Ryder and William Prince.
Lake Street Dive
JD McPherson
Bobby Rush and Blind Boys
Rod Stewart and Booker T
Red Clay Strays
Dylan and friends – 30th anniversary

Also live 54.40 at El Mocambo

And during the second hour of  Stew, we’ll remember and celebrate the life and music of the late Kris Kristofferson.

From the Mulligan Stew archives we replay the Kris Kristofferson interview we did  2006 backstage at Calgary Folk Festival.

Answering media questions, including my own:

Kris talks about Johnny Cash, Willie and his sons, Hank Williams, movies, performing solo, the Nashville Underground,  songwriters these days John Prine, Todd Snider, and Shooter Jennings, and how nervous he gets singing for 12,000 people.
