Live Jam is the radio station where every song played is a live version — and this week, the entire schedule is built around moments that can only exist on stage.
From a brand-new North American tour announcement by Robert Plant, to one of the most myth-shrouded recordings in rock history from Bob Dylan, and the jaw-dropping spectacle of Rockin’1000, Live Jam continues to deliver what no other station in the world does:
every song, every hour, every show — performed live.
Robert Plant Announces “Spring Fever 2026” U.S. Tour
Get the Led Out Live sets the tone for a week built on living history
Legendary frontman Robert Plant has officially confirmed a North American run for spring 2026 with his band Saving Grace, featuring vocalist Suzi Dian.
The newly announced Spring Fever 2026 tour leans fully into the spirit that defines Live Jam: songs reshaped in real time, stripped of studio polish and rebuilt through instinct, musicianship, and the chemistry that only happens when a band shares the same room with an audience.
Plant’s recent touring years have focused less on nostalgia and more on reinvention — drawing from folk traditions, blues roots, and deep-cut reinterpretations rather than legacy hit-parades. Saving Grace has become a fluid, exploratory ensemble built around space, texture, and emotional restraint — exactly the kind of performances that reward listeners who value live music as an evolving art form.

The tour launches in the Southwest before cutting through Texas and Tennessee, then closes with two architecturally stunning East Coast venues — a fitting backdrop for music built on intimacy and atmosphere.
Get the Led Out Live — Tonight on Live Jam
Three uninterrupted hours of Led Zeppelin’s greatest live moments
Every Wednesday night, Live Jam opens the vault and stays there.
Get the Led Out Live airs beginning at 10 PM EST and delivers three straight hours of live Led Zeppelin performances pulled from the band’s most legendary concerts across their touring career.
This is not a greatest-hits recap.
It is a study in how a band stretched material beyond recognition and turned concerts into laboratories.
Live Jam exists to preserve the spirit of live performance — not nostalgia, but living energy.
When Zeppelin expanded “Dazed and Confused” into extended sonic explorations, or reshaped “Whole Lotta Love” into roaming medleys of blues and early rock history, the music stopped being a fixed product and became a moving target.
That is the heartbeat of Live Jam.

Friday Night Lights: Rockin’1000 — The Biggest Live Band on Earth
One thousand musicians. One stage. One shared heartbeat.
Friday night on Live Jam is built for spectacle — but not spectacle created by screens, click tracks, or production tricks.
It is built for real musicians.
Rockin’1000 is widely known as “The Biggest Rock Band on Earth” — and the title is earned. The project assembles one thousand musicians at a time — drummers, bassists, guitarists, keyboard players, and singers — and places them together inside massive venues to perform legendary rock songs simultaneously.
No backing tracks.
No studio sweetening.
No illusion of scale.
This is a real band.
A very, very large one.
This week’s broadcast features the unforgettable 2024 performance from Leiria, Portugal, where the collective power of a thousand players transforms familiar rock anthems into something closer to a communal event than a concert.

Friday nights beginning at 9 PM EST

Live From The Vault — Bob Dylan’s “Royal Albert Hall” Moment
The night live music history changed direction
Saturday night, Live Jam turns its focus to one of the most consequential live recordings ever captured.
This week’s Live From The Vault spotlight centers on:
Live 1966: The “Royal Albert Hall” Concert
Officially released as
The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The ‘Royal Albert Hall’ Concert,
the recording documents the exact moment when Bob Dylan publicly and irrevocably crossed from acoustic folk icon into fully electric rock performer.
For decades, this show circulated as one of the most famous bootlegs in rock history — whispered about, traded, argued over, and mythologized. When it finally arrived as an official release in 1998, it didn’t simply clean up a legendary tape.
It preserved a cultural turning point.
The concert captures Dylan and his band navigating hostility, tension, and artistic defiance in real time. The audience reaction is as much a part of the performance as the music itself. It is a rare live document where you can hear history resisting change — and change pushing back.
The great misnomer: it wasn’t even the Royal Albert Hall
One of the most fascinating footnotes in live recording lore is that the concert immortalized under the Royal Albert Hall name did not actually take place there.
The performance was recorded at Manchester Free Trade Hall on May 17, 1966.
Early bootlegs mistakenly labeled it as coming from Royal Albert Hall, and the name became permanently attached to the recording.
The real Royal Albert Hall performance from the same tour — recorded on May 26, 1966 — would not be officially released until 2016.
By then, the Manchester recording had already defined Dylan’s electric revolution.
A cornerstone in live album history
This week’s broadcast is also part of Live Jam’s continuing deep dive into Variety magazine’s highly respected ranking of the Top 50 Live Albums of All Time.
Standing alongside those selections is another landmark release:
Fleetwood Mac – The Dance
Together, these albums illustrate two very different live philosophies — one built on confrontation and reinvention, the other on reunion and emotional closure.
Both belong to the Live Jam vault.

Live Country Radio — Five hours of stage-born country music
Where country belongs: in front of a crowd
Country music was never designed to live inside studio walls.
It was shaped on front porches, barroom stages, outdoor fairs, festival fields, and sold-out arenas. It thrives in the spaces between songs, in the stories artists tell from the mic, and in the sound of a crowd answering back.
That is why Live Jam plays only one version of any country song — the live one.
Live Country Radio delivers five uninterrupted hours of concert recordings spanning the full country landscape, unified by one rule:
if it did not happen on stage, it does not air.
