Author: playthatpodcast April 30, 2026 Duration: 1:13:15
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with comedian & podcaster DEAN DELRAY. Dean visited the show to discuss his *final* all-star tribute concert to Bon Scott, and his debut comedy special "5836". In this conversation, we talk about Dean's longstanding fandom of Bon Scott and AC/DC, and how that turned into the annual all-star tribute concerts he put together in Los Angeles. He shares several behind-the-scenes stories from this last concert, which includes how he managed to get Gene Simmons from KISS on the bill! We also discuss Dean's debut comedy special "5836" and what keeps him motivated on his long-running podcast, "Let There Be Talk".

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
