It’s week three of Retro Month on Rage – dust off the shoulder pads because we're still firmly in the 80s, with some more Countdown and an episode of The Factory!

Guests on this round of retro month include Kate Ceberano, Ian Cox (of I'm Talking), Sting, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it roving interview with Rod Stewart, and a fantastic live performance by The Proclaimers.

We haven't forgotten all you flower children - we'll be taking you on a trip with some of the psych and prog classics of the 1960s and 1970s with Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Jefferson Airplane for our morning show.

Catch the third installment of Retro Month on Saturday, January 19 from 10am and later that night from 11:32pm on ABC TV.

Don’t forget, we’re going retro for the full month of January! So keep it locked for more retro music videos, live performances, interviews, full episodes of Countdown, GTK and many more old school goodies from the vault.
Well I hope that the 60s /70s get a special dedication in the final week of Rage Retro....I been holding out all year to see the classics ....so please Rage ...do urself a favour and me too...:heart_eyes:
