Live Tracks program picture

Live Tracks highlights a wide range of live musical performances, from early 60s rock to modern rockabilly, from blues to bluegrass.  The program frequently features local performances recorded and mixed here in Davis by host Jim Buchanan.

More than just a music program, Live Tracks exposes you to social, historic, or scientific bits of trivia. Additionally, Live Tracks keeps you current with the weekly segment "50 Years Ago This Week in Beatles History."

Beginning February 8, 2018, Thursday's Live Tracks program will be a rebroadcast of a past program, carefully selected by the host from an archive spanning 13 years. Jim is taking a break and will return after the MLB 2018 All Star Game. Go Giants.

Live Tracks for 8:00pm on Jul 5th, 2018

Thu, 07/05/2018 - 10:10pm | Jim Buchanan

  Enjoy an historic, rare Live Tracks from July of 2008.  Liam Creighton sits in with me and brings refinement and grace to the show (as well as some great music from his library).  Since this program was broadcast, Liam has spent a year in France and the balance in England, his native country.  Their gain, our loss.

  The smoking lamp is lit, and recreational beverages are the order of the day.  Peace.

  This show has not been aired since 2008. 

  P.S. -  Live Tracks will resume its normal, Thursday night live broadcast format beginning July 19th at 7 PM.  Go Giants.

Ahh, there goes the Sat. Question about lead pencils and tin cans. I KNOW THIS. I listen to Thur. Show so here it is Sat. And I have the answer. Really proud of my self to be so up on trivia. Of course you can only ask me on Sat. questions I heard on Thur.

Love this show. So much prep work goes into this show to make it so special. Thank you.

If you've ever paid taxes, catch the 3-minute segment on the April 17, 2014 Live Tracks show. It begins about 22:45 in from the start of the show.

Thanks, Jim for capturing the evening at the Odd Fellows.  I enjoyed listening tonight.  The Archetypes' set consisted of the following tunes:

1.  Breath Bridge

2. Thrift Shopping

3. Slow Down Boreas

4. Two for Benedetto

5. Hypothesis

6. Beautiful You

7. The Art of War

8. Heartlights

Jim, I missed Richie and the Yolos but the recording of Kurt and friend sounds exquisite. They were amazing. I'll check out the archieves for us. Thanks so much for calling tonight. 

 

Hi Jim - listening to your show up in Portland, OR -
Pieter

Great show...had to listen to Monday's replay.

As I suspected, long time listeners of Live Tracks are tough, seasoned musicologists, not intimidated even by Capt. and Tennille. Listen up this Thursday while I raise the musical bar for fundraising...Thanks for listening! Jim

Just wanted to thank "Butane" James for the excellent broadcast from 1/28 on Live Tracks. Radio simply does not get any better than that!

For those of you who had the pleasure to listen to Live Tracks from 2/5/09...Jim's Beatles show, had the opportunity to hear radio at it's best.

No matter if you were sending out a signal from New York, Chicago or San Francisco, nothing could have been any better than this edition of Live Tracks.

Anyone who knows anybody that believes they know and enjoy the sound of early Beatles should give a listen.  Magnificent!
