Show Intro
"Evening all and welcome to the deep-voiced and rather croaky jolly show, just recovering from what I would call a severe cough that I've had for a while."
"But it's not about me, it's about this amazing music that you're going to be hearing for the next 60 minutes, so I'll shut up and let's get on with it."
"This is UFO."
UFO
"Yes, outside of the Schenker years there was some good music that came out of that band and they were, as I've said often, an amazing live band."
"That is UFO from the album Mechanics with We Belong To The Night."
Ellen Foley
"For these next couple of tunes we're going to head back to the big and beautiful, bombastic late 70s, starting off with a song which coincidentally has the same title as the last one."
"This is Ellen Foley."
"And before that from 1979 produced by Mick Ronson and Ian Hunter, it is Ellen Foley from the album Night Out with We Belong To The Night."
Meatloaf
"Big and bombastic indeed it is."
"That is Meatloaf from one of the biggest selling rock albums of all time, Bad Out of Hell from 1977, with All Revved Up And No Place To Go."
David Gilmour
"All right, this is nice, this is brand new. This is Dave Gilmour."
"And before that we heard Dave Gilmour from an upcoming album called Luck And Strange."
"It is absolutely brand new and it is called The Piper's Call."
Duane Eddy
"He was one of the first ever guitar heroes, specifically to the likes of Mr. Ritchie Blackmore, but sadly this week he's gone off to join the great gig in the sky."
"It is now the late great Duane Eddy from a collection called Rock and Roll Radio with a song that I had on a compilation Best Of album of his when I was about 10 years old."
"Always loved that bit of work. It is Rebel Rouser."
"You are listening to the very croaky Joe Elliott show on the wonderful Planet Rock."
"Coming up, And again, we're going to be paying our respects to a very important and vital sideman, without whom ELO may have sounded very different."
ELO
"And before that we heard ELO, because sadly, just like Duane Eddy, we lost one of the greatest sidemen in rock this week in Mr. Richard Tandy, as has been acknowledged by Jeff Lynne on social media this week."
"He played bass, he played piano, synthesizer, mellotron, any kind of keyboard."
"So as you can imagine, a very important member of the band."
"So I thought I'd play a song that really featured him this week."
"He's from the album ELO 2 and it is that fantastic cover of the Chuck Berry classic Rollover Beethoven."
"And I hope he has because he needs to make room for one more awesome keyboard player."
Foreigner
"There is no point in taking your keys if someone's changed the locks."
"Put shivers down your spine."
"That is Foreigner from an album called Argent Provocateur with Stranger In My Own House."
Foo Fighters
"Right, this is the Foo Fighters."
"And before that we heard the Foo Fighters from the last album that featured the late great brilliant and wonderfully talented Mr. Taylor Hawkins on drums."
"The album is Medicine At Midnight, the song we heard, Waiting On A War."
Focus
"You know what? If we were talking to the youth of today, any of us, and said once upon a time, in the 70s there was a three-piece Dutch rock band who featured Hammond Organ and Yodeling."
"They'd probably think it was a fairy tale, but it wasn't, was it?."
"It was true and they were fantastic."
"They were focus and apparently there's some form or another, they're actually back out on the road."
"Taken from a collection called The Sound of the 70s, that is their monstrous hit Sylvia."
Show Outro
"And that my friends from this very croaky show is about it this week."
"Been a real pleasure as always."
"I shall be back with you next week at exactly the same time, so don't touch that dial."
"Now as you know, if you've been listening, we've had our fair share of tragedies this week with new members of the great gig in the sky club."
"So let's end with something positive."
"This week, just a couple of days ago, the album I'm about to play you a song from had its 50th birthday."
"So very, very many happy returns to Kimono My House."
"This is Sparks and Amateur Hour."
"Until next week, see ya!."
