Where to Watch Season 4
15 Episodes
- Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation
E1Robert Plant and the Strange SensationThe retrospective set includes Zep classics like opener "No Quarter," which receives a more tribal treatment, a funkified "Black Dog" and "Four Sticks." Other gems include songs from Plant's solo albums, like the political "Freedom Fries" and the cover of "Hey Joe," which was immortalized by Jimi Hendrix. The show's finale, a stretched-out bluesy rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" is not to be missed. - TrainE6
TrainSan Francisco's Train is one of the most successful bands stemming from the late-'90s, having sold millions of records and producing solid hit after hit with each album it releases. Singer Pat Monahan, guitarist Jimmy Stafford, drummer Scott Underwood, bassist Johnny Colt and keyboardist Brandon Bush know how to craft thoughtful ballads to anthemic rock 'n' roll - fans and radio cannot get enough of them. Soundstage welcomes the group, who deliver a rousing performance packed with sing-along choruses and hook-filled melodies. From its earliest introduction to the world to its most recent single, Train's show is top-notch and note perfect. - New York DollsE9
New York DollsThe New York Dolls are one of the most influential bands still around. Creating punk rock before the genre had a name, the group officially broke up in 1977. But in 2004 Morrissey, who was a huge fan, asked the group to perform. They reunited to a rousing reception. The New York Dolls story lives on as the group released its third studio album, One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This in 2006. The Dolls' invigorating Soundstage performance is a celebration of punk's roots. From its rousing cover of Bo Diddley's "Pills" to new revved-up tunes such as the R&B-infused "Take a Good Look at My Good Looks" and the fueled "Gimme Love & Turn on the Light," it's a triumphant return to form. The band's classics, including "Personality Crisis" and "Jet Boy" are true gems.
