Prime Time Jukebox Episode 13 Audio: Archeology #2 - Led Zeppelin II
Monday Jun 29, 2020
Monday Jun 29, 2020
A couple of months ago, Dave ran a listener/viewer poll to see what artist/album should be selected for our second Album Archaeology show and the winner was Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin II album.
Much like an archaeologist digs and hunts for gems, on Album Archaeology we dig into the “Led Zeppelin II” album. We go deep into each of the tracks of this album looking at the music, lyrics, and stories behind this album.
The timing of this comes as Led Zeppelin also won our first Battle of the Bands tournament! We’ll recap the final matchup.
For the cigars during the broadcast, Dave will smoke the HVC First Selection Broadleaf for the first time, Seth will go with a Davidoff Millennium and Coop chose a Rocky Patel TAVICUSA.
We’ll also recap some news where a couple of popular bands have changed their names. Finally, we’ll also have Dave’s New Music 45.
As always you can follow along with our Spotify Playlists:
- Episode 13 Playlist
- Led Zeppelin II
- Dave’s “Respect” Playlist (Asked by popular demand from Episode 11)
