There’s definitely something going on in Australia as evidenced by the recent surge in psychedelic rock bands coming from the land down under. Groups like Tame Impala, The Murlochs, Pond, and King Gizzard are the most recent exports from the country that brought us AC/DC, INXS, Little River Band, and yes, the Bee Gees. Melbourne’s […]
Dead Floyd – A Band Beyond Description
There are plenty of Grateful Dead cover bands. There’s no shortage of Pink Floyd tributes. Dead Floyd, however is no novelty act. The music never stopped from what began as a one-off show. Ten years later, the Fort Collins, Colorado-based quartet of Charlie Humphreys (guitar, vocals), Josh Miller (bass, vocals), Stu Crair (drums, vocals), and […]

I’m your Uncle Marty as The 3D RadioActivity reaches number 488, where we’ll drill down into the most superlative music for the third time.

Dead & Company at the Hollywood Bowl – June 3 and 4, 2019
Writing about a Grateful Dead concert is always more than just a concert review. It’s been twenty-four years since Jerry Garcia’s death, but the band has reincarnated itself several times. They may have finally found a lineup that can deliver a true Deadhead-worthy experience. Trey Anastasio (Phish), Warren Haynes (Gov’t Mule) and John Kadlecik (Dark […]
Concert Review – Nick Mason at the Paramount Theatre in Denver
former Pink Floyd drummer brings his Saucerful of Secrets tour to North America “I got tired of waiting after twenty years for David (Gilmour) or Roger (Waters) to ring me up, so put my own band together,” explains the seventy-five year-old founding member of Pink Floyd. The ensemble includes long-time Pink Floyd and David Gilmour […]
Fleetwood Mac at The Spectrum Center, Charlotte, NC
In a continuation of last year’s trend of “go see Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famers on their One Last Go-round tour”, I took the whole family to Fleetwood Mac. All in all a really good show, probably better than I expected. I had never seen Fleetwood Mac, in spite of being somewhat of a fan, particularly […]

Eleven of the Best Rock Concerts I Have Attended
I have been fortunate to go to a lot of rock concerts in my lifetime. Considering what tickets cost today, those old ducats from the seventies and eighties turned out to be pretty good deals. Most of those ticket prices were under twenty bucks. The late seventies concerts were all under ten dollars. Compared to […]
Heavy Water
I’m back with the 427th edition of The 3D RadioActivity, and this time we will be focusing on a mostly moist musical motif. Pull out a tall refreshing glass as we keep our ears primed, although if you ask “Uncle Marty, water you talking about?”, I’d have to say exactly.
