OT : Friday Rock Show & 6 Music 'Classic Concerts'

[Humphrey]

Yes I agree. I recently read in the "Radio Times" that Gideon Coe's show would feature "Jethro Tull in concert from 1977". I thought, 'that would be nice to get, in the context of a whole show'. However, looking at the BBC on-line program tracklist (a great feature, granted), I saw that he'd played just 3 songs ! It's symptomatic of many BBC6 shows (eg Rad & Mac) where they cover all pop/rock genres from 1955 to 2012. Given the massive airtime BBC6 have, surely they could give us some "speciality" shows eg "Post-Punk and New-Wave Hour with Tamsin Bagshot" and "Classic Rock Hour with Julian Noble" and "Dub Reggae Hour with Dennis Bottomley" and "Classic Punk Hour with Simon Cleverly" etc.

> When I heard the Queen re-broadcast, I did write and complain to 6 Music to ask why in some of their re-broadcasts do they leave out tracks now and then. The Queen re-broadcast show I remember in particular was awful when compared to the original (it just happens to be one of my all-time favourites so I know it pretty well), it suffered from a real major hatchet-job as have a few others - Thin Lizzy in 1983 springs to mind along with Split Enz from 1980 - I Have copies made from TS Discs of both. I got a response from Chris Hawkins that it was sometimes due to copyright issues that some tracks were left out that were originally broadcast. I suppose he's right, but I never got an answer as to why they sometimes jumble up and mix around the running order too. But, on the up side he did also say he would try and refrain from talking over intro's - yeah, I whinged about that too :o)
