The second night of the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival coverage for our podcast begins with recordings from the establishment who sponsored day two of the festival, Rendezvous in downtown Memphis (our favorite place to eat Bar-B-Que Ribs).
Rendezvous - Memphis, TN
The guys start the day by interviewing fans of the music festival and having a fun conversation with Percy, an employee of Rendezvous for 40 years. Percy takes us down memory lane as he discussed the former Presidents and many stars who have attended the restaurant.

It was the first weekend in May and on Friday night April 30th 2010 Mike, Brian, Tom, with special helper Steve traveled to Memphis, TN to cover the Beale Street Music Festival during the Memphis In May festivities.
Brian Hasbrook with Concert Blast Fans From Atlanta
The guys were pleased to be back together covering one of their favorite concert festivals. It seems to rain at least one day every year of the festival, but the skies were clear during most of the festival times, although there were many storms before and after. One exception was when tornado warnings came through Memphis on Saturday night and the headliners could not perform (more on this during Saturday’s coverage – Part 2). On this podcast we cover only the Friday night events.
B52s - Beale Street Music Festival
The B52s performed their fun-time dance party-rock that kicked off the fun times at their stage. Afterwards the stage headliner, Goo Goo Dolls, performed a full set with all their hits, several new tunes, and an encore of Supertramp’s “Give A Little Bit.”

Concert Blast began with Mike Arnold, Brian Hasbrook, and Tom Thompson. Three guys who grew up together in the Nashville, TN area. These guys have attended hundreds (if not over a thousand) concerts.
Every time the guys would get together with friends, they would all want to know about the shows they’ve seen and found themselves discussing these concerts for long periods of time.
Concert Blast on the Bonnaroo Media Stage - (left to right) Mike Arnold, Brian Hasbrook, and Tom Thompson
Mike thought a music talk show would make a great radio show. After failing to convince radio stations/companies that this format could be good for radio, he gave up. A couple of years later, Mike was introduced to podcasting. He approached Brian and Tom about the idea of discussing concerts on a podcast and they said let’s do it! Concert Blast formed a family friendly podcast and the first podcast was uploaded in May of 2005.
Since our website began back in May of 2005 and have produced more than 200 audio shows with many blogs and posted photos.
We have been invited to cover many concerts and music festivals such as the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival, CMA Music Festival, as well as many of the top Music Concerts (Paul McCartney, Aerosmith, Ringo Starr, Bob Seger, Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Joan Jett, Night Ranger, and many more).
We usually feature Classic Rock acts, but we do not limit ourselves to it.
We were featured as one of the Top 5 Classic Rock podcasts from Classic Rock About.com.
