A rare record from Led Zeppelin, which the band ordered to be recalled and destroyed, has been found on Antiques Roadshow. The rarity was found as the hit BBC show headed to Wales for a recent episode. When at Caerphilly Castle, a man brought in a copy of a seven-inch single, and told antiques expert Marc Allum about how he managed to get his hands on it. The seven-inch contained the legendary group’s classic single ‘Whole Lotta Love’, which was certified gold in the US and had a rare single pressing of 500 copies made by Atlantic Records. Led Zeppelin…

Everyone from Roger Daltrey and Lucinda Williams to Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Dave Matthews, and Billy Strings have played the 1989 Neil Young classic in just the last couple of weeks Neil Young and the Restless, which included Crazy Horse guitarist Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, were touring America in early 1989 when a proposed cultural exchange with the Soviet Union — which would have sent the rock band into the repressive communist nation and the Russian ballet into America — fell apart. “Neil was like, ‘Damn, I really wanted to go,’” Sampedro recalled to Rolling Stone in 2013. “I said, ‘Me…

Princeton historian and longtime Rolling Stone contributor Sean Wilentz’s new book ‘Bob Dylan: Through the Open Window (1956-1963)‘ is an essential portrait of a great artist in formation. The book captures Dylan “turning musical sketches into the songs that first made him famous and endure.” It’s also a powerful evocation of a lost world: the bohemian Greenwich Village of the 1950s and 1960s. It’s a story Dylan has told himself in his own magical fantasia of a memoir, ‘Chronicles: Volume One’ and has been told many times by many different writers. But Wilentz, himself a native son of that Village…

There are some excellent earplugs out there designed specifically for concerts.

Lorenzo Senni is back, lining up his first album in six years, All Ages, for longtime label Warp. The puckish Italian producer adopted a spirit of “internal revolt” for the Scacco Matto follow-up, out November 20. Listen to a single, “Art Life & Skateboarding,” below.The new song represents opposing poles of bacchanalia through the medium of two featured artists: Chad Muska, a skateboarder who loves to party, and Jamie Thomas, a skateboarder who is straight-edge. “They have opposite characteristics within something I love, skateboarding,” Senni says in a press release. “It makes for a beautiful encounter.” The guest vocals on…

A t first, Nat Myers thought his problems could be blamed on a crummy mattress. On tour behind his 2023 release, the Dan Auerbach-produced Yellow Peril, Myers’ back had started to hurt. Slowly, surely, never really going away. Life as a touring artist is hard on the body, he thought: cheap beds in worse hotels, endless hours on the road, lugging heavy equipment from town to town. He was an otherwise healthy guy, and, like so many others, he didn’t have health insurance. It’s not like he could just duck in easily for an affordable checkup or X-ray to see…

The midterm elections are weeks away and Donald Trump is on the campaign trail, trying desperately to convince Americans that the cost of living crisis both isn’t his fault and not that big of a deal. He was in Nebraska on Monday, insisting that soaring costs are “a small price to pay” to ensure Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon. “It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for keeping our country safe,” he said. “They could take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very…
