The Iridium

It’s with profound sadness that our great friend Lou Pallo, Les Paul’s longtime guitarist and comedic foil, a former member of The Keith Richards Band and the man of a 1,000,000 inversions passed away after a long illness. May they be jamming in heaven together! Love you Lou! Ron and all at Iridium.

Here’s a true story that every Captain Beefheart (and Frank Zappa) fan should know. This story will not only make a great conversation starter at your next cocktail party, but it will also help you win friends and influence people... and it’s completely free of charge! Have a swell day Toodles.

Great bootleg that you can find on eBay! Our favorite tracks are the unreleased versions of Dueling Banjos on a Plane and Smokey and the Pennyroyal Tea. Anyone else own this?

It’s hard to believe that this Friday, September 25th, will mark 40 years since we lost one of the greatest drummers Aside from #MobyDick, what other tracks do you think #Bonzo stole the show? We’re going to have to go with When The Levee Breaks and Custard Pie Rest In Peace, John. Led Zeppelin forever! ... #johnbonham #ledzeppelin

Did you ever hear the jam on H.I. McDonnough from the 1973 show at Madison Square Garden? Jimmy crushed it, which exemplifies why he’s such a legend and one of the greatest guitarists in rock and roll! The show itself is a highly recommended soundboard bootleg recording if you can find it.

This meme is badder than old King Kong... And meaner than a junkyard dog...

Hard to believe it’s going to be 19 years. #neverforget

That look when you realize it’s almost September and you haven’t been to a live show all year

Don’t be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join the new Kiss Army #genewilder vs. #genesimmons #theprodcers vs. #thekissarmy

Anyone remember places
