Episode 5: The Nickel Show-Featuring Tales Brian Tells. Starship, Eagles, Boz

August 3, 2026 Linda Mills

Hello again and thanks for tuning in, whether it’s your first time or you’re a returning fan of the album rock of the late 60s &70s here on Tales Vinyl Tells. Yes! This is the fifth show of the program, released in 2020. Musically, this program starts off playing a piece of the Richie Havens song, “No opportunity necessary, no experience needed”, from 1970s “Time and a Word” LP from Yes, before the Yes album, and followup with Roundabout from Fragile. Jon Anderson, Chris Squire,Peter Banks and Tony Kaye. These are some of the cuts I have repeated even though I think there’s such a ginormous library available to me that repeats are kept to a minimum. Hope you enjoy it! Let me know where you are and let me know who your favorites are from that era and I may just throw it into the file and play it soon.

Thanks for listening today. My email is talesvinyltells@gmail.com. You can hear a Tales Vinyl Tells radio program when it streams live on RadioFreeNashville.org and here.
