My friend Nate recently told me to watch the pilot episode of Austin City Limits starring Willie Nelson and friends. Willie's music is legendary but I guess I didn't expect to enjoy the show as much as I did. I've always heard the slower songs but these guys blew me away with their ability to jam. It's a good thing Willie was available for the Pilot since who knows if Austin City Limits would have been picked up if some else, Barry Manilow perhaps, had played instead. Click on Willie's beard to watch the show!

Podcast #60: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds (w/ Bob Weir and Carlos Santana) - San Rafael, CA - 3/14/99
I want to start the show by wishing everyone an early Happy Valentine’s Day or a late one depending on when you download this. Also I’d like to let my listeners know that I have noticed less downloads of the App bonus content than I would have expected. If you have purchased the App and need help accessing the bonus section please email me at livemusicpodcast@gmail.com. Thanks again for your downloads and support. This past Tuesday was the release of the new Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds concert album “Live In Las Vegas”. This album includes the music from night three of Dave & Tim’s Las Vegas trilogy last December and I highly recommend picking up a copy of it. Partly due to this release, I thought the timing was perfect to finally podcast what I consider to be the finest live acoustic set ever captured by a taper. I played a Dave & Tim recording on the very first episode of this podcast and you don’t know how close I was to using this one instead of the 2006 Vegas show. Picking a Dave & Tim recording is extremely difficult because there are so many flat out amazing ones in circulation. So you might be asking yourself what makes this one so special. Audio quality is pretty much a given so lets just skip that. Next up is a passionate performance and excellent song selection…check and check. Finally you need something extra unique to make it stand out from the rest. Do special guests the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and Carlos frickin’ Santana do it for you? I’d wager most of you will be in the hell ya category. Just a quick note before I get into it; you might notice a lot more space between the songs than I normally leave. This was done intentionally to highlight the often hilarious banter that comes out of Dave’s mouth, lovingly referred to as ‘Dave Speak’. Please enjoy Dave, Tim, and their guests from the March 14, 1999 performance in San Rafael, California. Take the Live Music Podcast listener survey here!

A while back I was contacted by Backyard Tire Fire's manager to help spread the word about their upcoming record release concert in Chicago this weekend. Unfortunately it slipped my mind until just now to post it on my blog (although in my defense I did contact all of my Chicago friends earlier in the week to spread the word). He also mentioned that they will be playing their hearts out to impress some radio people there so I'm guessing you are going to get your moneys worth ($15) and more. Tickets are still available so if you live near the windy city go get em! Here's a video for the title track "Good To Be"

I'm admittedly an OK Go noob so I've kind of been wondering what they sound like live. Well thanks to an update I just saw from their Facebook account I now know. That's right...get a free download for a live version of White Knuckles. The only catch is that you need to have a Twitter account. http://okgo.promojam.com/promotions/giveaway/authorization/new Oh and the answer to my question of how they sound live...really really good. Here's their live performance on last night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson as further evidence. Also anyone in the Kansas City area should check out their free concert at the Midland this Saturday (they're big fans of the whole free concept apparently).

Like most of you I watched the Super Bowl last night and although the game was absolutely spectacular I thought the commercials were a bit lacking this year. One of them, however, especially moved me. It was an ad for the Kia Sorento starring 5 child toys including the famous Sock Monkey taking the Sorrento for a joy ride and generally partying up the town. The fact that this commercial had the Sock Monkey getting an I Heart Mom patch stitched on its arm and the Robot toy dancing the robot at a club was enought to win me over. As awesome as seeing toys getting their party on is, each scene was greatly accentuated by the driving funk powered tune playing in the background. After some quick searching I discovered that the song is called 'How You Like Me Now' by a British band called The Heavy. I tried to find some audience recordings of this band but my quest was without any luck. I did, however, find some really great videos for live versions of this song. First up we have their live in studio performance at Seattle's KEXP. Also be sure to check out KEXP's Youtube Channel since there are lots of other great videos similar to this one.
Next is their 01/19/10 performance on Letterman. They rock it so hard that Dave asks them to play an unprecedented encore...Letterman knows his shit. The Heavy - Late Show with David Letterman - 01/19/10 Finally the commercial that started it all (for me that is).

No podcast this week since I've been fighting a head cold the past couple days. I thought with all the rockin' from the Dead Weather the site could use something a little more chill. Fortunately for me one of my favorite Soul artists recently released a new album and was featured on a video series on Hulu called Live from the Artists Den.
