Elvis meets Led Zeppelin

Author: Rewind 92.1 (WXXM-FM) May 15, 2018 Duration: 8:18
This week Mike chronicles the breakup of The Go-Go’s this week in 1985, Led Zeppelin showing up at a Elivs Concert this week in 1974, and all the hits you heard Dr. Jonathan W. Little playing on our sister station Z104 this week in 1987.

Every seven days, This Week in Music History w/Mike Foster opens up the archive, dusting off the stories behind the songs and artists that defined specific moments in time. Hosted by Rewind 92.1's Mike Foster, this isn't just a dry recitation of dates and chart positions. Instead, each episode feels like a conversation about a shared cultural memory, whether it's the unexpected debut of a legendary band, a scandal that rocked the industry, or a forgotten album that quietly changed a genre. You'll hear the music itself woven into the narrative, providing the essential soundtrack to the tales being told. The charm of this podcast lies in its specific focus-what was happening this very week, decades ago-which often leads to surprising connections and a fresh appreciation for how musical landscapes shift. Tune in for a consistently engaging blend of audio clips, insightful commentary, and Foster's genuine enthusiasm for the subject, all delivered with the warmth of a classic radio show. It’s a regular dose of context for the tunes you love, revealing the often messy, brilliant, and human stories behind the recordings.
