Andy Cohen: What can I say about Bob Weir? Well, nothing that I maybe haven't already said. Well, I'll tell you a couple things. One is this summer when I was at that show, you know, you just never knew with these guys. Every time I saw them, at the Sphere, at their last tour show in San Francisco a few years ago, you know, I kept thinking, "Well, this was the last show," and then the San Francisco 60th show that I saw this summer, I really think that's the last show that there's gonna be and I was sadly right.

AOR supergroup Transatlantic Radio released today their new single and official video, "City Of Angels", the second one taken from the upcoming debut album "Midnight Transmission", out on February 20, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Victor Broden stated: "City Of Angels" was the last song written for the album. It is a tribute to all the great songs, throughout history, about going west to try to make your dreams come true and live your best life. In our case, it is also a tribute to the diverse city of Los Angeles, but it could be wherever the city of your dreams is. The song delivers the quintessential Transatlantic Radio sound, a huge chorus, big sweeping melodies and lots of attitude. This is a song to roll down your windows and sing at the top of your lunges on the way to a party or on a long road trip!" (continue)
The 45th anniversary of Styx's "Paradise Theatre" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: Quick, lightning round: if I told you that forty-five years ago one of America's top music acts released a concept album that identified growing cracks in the foundation of our society and presciently predicted practically everything we find today, who would you guess it was? Bob Dylan? Neil Young? Crosby Stills and Nash? I doubt that Styx would come to mind to many, but that is precisely what Paradise Theatre was: part lament, part warning, all expressed, performed, and recorded exceedingly well. And when you hear my guests Styx guitarist James "JY" Young and co-founder/former member Dennis DeYoung discuss the America they were observing in January 1981, it is disconcerting to realize now how those warnings by and large went unheeded.
