In 1991, Paul McCartney performed on MTV's Unplugged and released a very successful and unique album of the concert. In this episode, we discuss the recording of the concert, the setlist, go through the tracks, and wonder why Paul hasn't played concerts like this since.

In this episode, we take a look at the connections between the late David Bowie and the Beatles, particularly John Lennon. Bowie was a big Beatlefan and made references to the Fab Four throughout his career. Chris--a huge Bowie fan--leads this tour through Bowie's life and music related to the Beatles, including his "famed" (no pun intended) recordings with John Lennon, a funny story about a party with Paul McCartney, and his cover of George's "Try Some Buy Some."
