Rock Religion The Scratch Band Live Record

Rock & Religion (a.k.a. Rock Scope) was a syndicatedradio program based in Sacramento, California, USA. The program began in 1977 and ran through 1981. The show was produced by Mary Neely, and hosted by Neely, and singer Michael Roe. Although it is not currently being broadcast, recordings and original promotional vinyl copies of the shows are heavily traded to this day. The program generally aired on Sunday nights.

Sep 22, 2016  From this blistering live show, fans can expect sky high flames, ear-bursting volume and a few drops of blood! The Blu-ray also includes a KISS acoustic performance as a bonus feature. As America's #1 Gold Record Award winning group of all time, and that's in every category, KISS can easily be named one of rock's most influential bands.

The show, which focused on spiritual themes in rock music, featured music and interviews from artists like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, The Who, Daniel Amos, Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill, Joe English of Paul McCartney's Wings, T-Bone Burnett & The Alpha Band, Mark Heard, Keith Green (there is a recording of the Rock & Religion broadcast of the 1979 Keith Green interview on the Last Days Ministries website; see 'Keith Green Interview' link below) and many others.

In certain cases, the show included rare or unreleased music from artists. Popular examples included Roe's own band The 77s, which was featured on the show in 1980 when they were still known as The Scratch Band. Music from Daniel Amos' long delayed Horrendous Disc appeared on the radio show more than a year before the album was finally released.

There is also CD single made purposely for the UK (it has the dates of the UK concerts that were eventually canceled printed on it). In this version, the words 'shit' and 'fucking' had been censored. Every time Greg says 'so many other...insects/robots out there' his voice is completely cut out. There is also a promotional CD which has no insert, just the CD, which is red, and has the title and some other info written on it in plain, silver text; and it came with a promotional poster.

Trivia[edit]

  • The 2002 compilation Punk Rock Songs, which was not endorsed by the band, is named after the song. The English and German versions appear on the compilation.
  • In April 1996, 'Punk Rock Song' was number 17 on the European MTV, above Green Day and Bon Jovi.
  • At the end of the song, you can hear guitarist Brian Baker shouting 'yes! Bobby Schayer...that's the one', referring to the band's drummer at the time.
