Michael Lyster was remembered as “magic in human form” and a “national treasure” at a special memorial service that concluded with Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love.

His son Jack was among a number of speakers who fondly shared memories of the 71-year-old former host of The Sunday Game, rock fan, and former rally driver.
