George Lyons previews an hour-long Elvis Presley special from his 1972 Madison Square Garden shows, calling it 'Prince from Another Planet'.

This episode is a four-hour music therapy radio show hosted by DJ George Lyons from 91.5 KUNV Las Vegas. The program features eclectic musical sets and includes a special one-hour radio special on Elvis Presley. Lyons broadcasts from Greenspun Hall on the UNLV campus, curating a journey through what he calls "techno-organic grooves." The show opens with tracks from the Rolling Stones, including "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" from *Sticky Fingers*. It plays "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith, featuring Stevie Winwood on lead vocals. A significant segment is dedicated to "Elvis Presley: Prince from Another Planet," a special focusing on his 1972 Madison Square Garden performances. The playlist includes Grateful Dead's "Sugaree" from *Dave's Picks Volume 4*, recorded at the College of William & Mary in 1976. Lyons highlights the Dave's Picks archival series overseen by the Grateful Dead's archivist, David Lemieux. Early sets also feature Santana's "Samba Pa Ti" and "Europa," plus a track from the CFM Band titled "Jam." An interesting technical moment occurs when an Elvis Costello track from *The Big Lebowski* accidentally plays into the Grateful Dead's "Ship of Fools," followed by two Norah Jones songs. Lyons describes this sequence as "the ghosts in the machine" and calls it a cool, psychedelic accident. He shares a personal memory of seeing *Yellow Submarine* in theaters, calling it his first psychedelic experience. The host emphasizes the archival quality of played material, like a Bob Dylan alternate version of "Someday Baby" from *Tell Tale Signs*. The tone is relaxed, conversational, and deeply enthusiastic, with Lyons acting as a knowledgeable guide through music history. The style is that of a freeform radio DJ, blending curation with personal anecdotes and show logistics. Music lovers seeking a long-form, genre-hopping mix of classic rock, jazz, and archival recordings would enjoy this immersive episode. Listeners preferring structured talk shows or single-genre programs might find the freeform musical format less engaging.
