In this NEW video lecture series, Dr. Mike Daley (The Classic Albums Vol. 1, The Beatles and their World, the 1960s in Sixty Songs, How Music Works) tells the story of the 1970s through seventy great songs of the era, one year at a time from 1970 through 1979. The lectures will be available to stream indefinitely or you can download them to watch offline. We’ll cover singer-songwriters, country-rock, progressive rock, disco, new wave, soft rock and much more. Each song is discussed with Mike’s usual deep research and perceptive analysis along with carefully chosen audio and video clips.
How it works:
Each Monday beginning on January 18 and continuing for ten weeks, you will receive an email with a link to a prerecorded video lecture being released that week. The videos are hosted on Vimeo.com and all you need do is click the link - there is no need to join Vimeo. You can view the video at any time as many times as you like, pausing and restarting as needed. The videos are viewable on a computer, tablet or phone, just like a YouTube video. In addition to the video lectures, Mike will create an optional Spotify playlist with all of the songs and accept questions via email for a bonus prerecorded Q&A video after the last lecture.
Please give the email address that you use regularly - Mike will be sending the links to the email address that you provide. If you have any questions or problems, please email Mike at mikedaley@gmail.com.
