KPTZ presents a special edition of Rocket Surgery on Wednesday, August 16, an extended tribute to the recently departed Robbie Robertson. DJ Charlie Bermant will play tunes play tunes ranging from early Bob Dylan collaborations (through) his ephemeral solo work. This, along with a healthy dose of live Band cuts, injects these timeless songs with ragged energy. The show will end with the best-ever version of “The Weight.” KPTZ listeners have heard a lot of Robertson songs over the past week, this program won’t overlap. Mostly. Tune in here from 8-10pm Wednesday.
