Steve Luongo’s Rock & Roll Show ‘n‘ Tell

Rock & Roll Show ‘n’ Tell is a celebrity driven live stream broadcast started by drummer/producer Steve Luongo in early 2020 to entertain people stranded at home by the pandemic.  Over the years Steve has had hundreds of his celebrity colleagues take part in Zoom calls while fans watch the stream from home. Now Steve can do the show in an intimate venue with a live audience watching as he and his industry friends chat on Zoom. The audience will observe candid conversations about the business that normally take place backstage, in a dressing room or some other exclusive secluded area.

Steve Luongo's Rock & Roll Show 'n' Tell-aka-The No Gloom Ballroom is a fan supported Rock & Roll livestream program dedicated to laughter, fun and an hour of humorous insanity  

We decided to do something fun in honor of having 200 guests on our show. Fader Istheman interviewed me as the 200th guest on Rock 'n' Roll Show 'n' Tell.

We select our episodes from the live stream version of R&R Show 'n' Tell.   Our 200th guest on the stream was me (Steve Luongo) I was interviewed by Fader Istheman and the whole experience was a lot of fun.  I included a live performance by The John Entwistle Band "Under A Raging Moon" from Detroit at Pine Knob amphitheater.  The song includes my drum solo from that show.  If you're not a fan of drum solos fast forward about 10 minutes and you should be safe...  I have played with many well known artists including Leslie West-Mountain, Mark Farner-Grand Funk Railroad, Robin Zander-Cheap Trick, Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams-AC/DC, Todd Rundgren and more. BUT, performing with John Entwistle of The Who was a standout 15 year period of my music career.  I hope you enjoy this episode.
