    Dec 7 2023
    Have your tickets ready. Keep the aisles clear. And prepare yourself for the heavy-duty epic-ness that’s ahead. This is Lighters in the Sky. In 2023, there was no form of entertainment more valuable in Global culture than Live music performance. It makes sense. With the COVID-19 Pandemic a lot of the things that we’d taken for granted were lost in an instant, and that included concerts. And as the world rebounds from the Pandemic’s darkest days, people are yearning for the connection that only Live performance can bring. Like many of you, while waiting for a return to something that felt like normalcy, acclaimed music writer Corbin Reiff revisited some of his all-time favorite Live performances from the past. And just like he had when he wrote his book Lighters in the Sky: The All-Time Greatest Concerts 1960-2016 – he revisited the question: what is it that really makes a show ICONIC? This podcast seeks to answer that very question. In this eight-episode Audible Original we’ll dive deep into the most mind-blowing concerts ever performed. And in each engrossing episode, you’ll feel transported to a time and place that changed the landscape of music forever. Listeners will hear from the people who actually lived the legend, and through the power of immersive sound – you may just feel like you were in attendance too. This is as close to being there as you’ll get. So, Lighters up!
