Pete was on the podcast very early on. We highly suggest you watch/listen to his interview as it happened a few months before his passing. He tells some amazing stories about what he has done and with whom he did it. Click the link below:
Our feature guest this week is the legendary Jim Peterik, the founder of The Ides of March, The Jim Peterick Band, and formerly of Survivor. Jim joined us via telephone from Chicago and was very generous with his time. We discuss the formation of The Ides of March, touring with Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Jobplin, his time working with Survivor and Jimi Jamison, and much, much more. He even sings to Derrick and Jeff at the end, so stay tuned for that!
