Hawk Rock Talk - Queen: Live At Wembley 40th Anniversary

Queen’s legendary Live at Wembley Stadium concert turns 40, and Jason Gore is ready to celebrate one of the most important live albums of his life. Geoff Garlock also watched it, although he did occasionally fast-forward through Brian May’s guitar solo and Queen’s extended trip through the 1950s. Jason and Geoff look back at Queen’s massive July 12, 1986 Wembley performance, the peak of the Magic Tour and one of the final concerts Queen ever played with Freddie Mercury. They discuss Jason discovering Queen through “Another One Bites the Dust,” Wayne’s World and a mall record store employee named Rick; Freddie’s iconic yellow military jacket; John Deacon’s alarmingly short shorts; the mystery of Freddie Mercury’s onstage package; the audience couple that apparently hugged for the entire concert; and Queen’s unmatched ability to command a stadium. They also break down the explosive opening run of “One Vision” and “Tie Your Mother Down,” the return of “In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited…

Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1 | Hawk Rock Talk

Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1 It’s Hawk Rock Summer, and Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock are putting on the gloves, grabbing the bone saw, and cracking open the chest cavity of Classic Rock Radio to examine one of its strangest organs: the classic rock one-hit wonder. What even counts as a one-hit wonder in classic rock? Did it have to make the Top 40? Does it count if the song barely charted, but every classic rock station played it eight times a day? Does it count if the band had other hits, but your local station decided, “No thank you, we will only be playing the one with the riff”? Jason and Geoff dig into a playlist of “that song!” bands, the groups whose names you may not know, whose albums you may never have heard, but whose one immortal track has been following you around your whole life through movie trailers, sports arenas, local classic rock stations, beer commercials, jukeboxes, and dads’ cars. Along the way, Jason and Geoff discuss Christi…

The Horniest Classic Rock Songs of the 80’s | Hawk Rock Talk

Hawk Rock Talk - The Horniest Classic Rock Songs of the 80’s! Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock kick off Hawk Rock Summer with a deep, shameful, extremely denim-covered investigation into the horniest classic rock songs of the 1980s. From BulletBoys screaming “Smooth Up In Ya” before the song even starts, to Aerosmith loving it up when they’re going down, Jason and Geoff ask the question rock historians have been too afraid to ask: Who was the horniest rock band of the 80s? Also discussed: Faith No More, Neil Young bootleg shirts, Genesis Blossoms, Tawny Kitaen, The Big Hairball, Tommy Lee on the 134, Jon Glaser’s My Dead Dad Was in ZZ Top, and why so many of these songs should maybe be turned off when your kid is in the car. Celebrate Hawk Rock Summer all summer long on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more! 108.9 The Hawk: Series Seven begins on 8/17/26!
