Draftervoi's Notes:
This was part of a three cd set of a Labor Day special, featuring sets by Stevie Nicks, Kansas, and the Moody Blues.  I only have the Moody Blues set.  It appears that the common theme is that the bands were all recorded at the Whisky A Go Go, a small nightclub that holds about 250 people.  As such, the room ambiance is different from the usual Moody Blues usual "amphitheater" sound; you really feel they're close to the audience.

The syndicating network is Entertainment Radio Networks, which is much less common than King Biscuit, Westwood One, or NBC's The Source shows.

The cue sheet has "Question" identified as "Christian."  There is a song listed after that as "Ceasar," which is presumably "See-Saw" (as in "Ride My See-Saw", and yes, "Ceasar" is not spelled correctly).  It is likely that the performance continued on after "Question" and that further song(s) were cut to fit the one hour format.

I left in the X Files premiere commercial because I liked the X Files.  The other commercials were edited out.  I repaired a few minor digi-glitch pops and normalized each track.

JustDave's Notes:
The Kansas portion of this show has been officially released as Live At The Whisky. I have an FM recording of the Stevie Nicks portion that I will be posting at a future date.
