Summary

Guy is on his way to LA on tour with David Gilmour and Gary is enjoying a little break this week, so we’ve compiled a few of our favourite ‘Legendary’ guests for a special ‘Best Of’ this week.

With the new Bruce Springsteen film ‘Road Diary’ coming out this week on Disney +, we hear from his right-hand man Steven Van Zandt. Plus, newly inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Peter Frampton talks to Guy and Gary about his incredible live album ‘Frampton Comes Alive’. Also, on the podcast this week, it’s Alice Cooper and one of our most popular episodes ever with Mick Fleetwood.

 

You can also watch some of our latest episodes on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.
