99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1973!
That year PLR welcomed Johnny Winter to Waterbury’s Palace Theater. Johnny hit the road in 1973 to support his fifth studio album, “Still Alive and Well,” which was produced by Rick Derringer and featured the title track Still Alive and Well and two Rolling Stones songs: Silver Train and Let It Bleed.
