JustDave's Notes:
Everything I see says this gig took place on December 30, 1978. I have found 2 newspaper or magazine adds and 1 bootleg cover that shows this date. Setlist.fm and The Concert Archive show the date as December 30, 1978. Also most sources on the net has The Doobie Brothers playing Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento, California on December 29, 1978. I will let you decide but the evidence suggests December 30, 1978. Maybe our friend Draftervoi has some information on this one.

I have included the news paper clippings I was able to find on the net about the date of the show. Enjoy this great sounding Doobie Brothers concert!

This one may surprise a lot of people but I happen to love Neil Diamond's music. He is such a great song writer, you see his name everywhere in the world of Pop, Rock and Adult Contemporary Music history. The Monkeys, UB40, Elvis even Deep Purple recorded and had hits with Neil Diamond songs. It's really no wonder that he was able to obtain such heights as to star in and write the soundtrack for a major motion picture. The Jazz Singer soundtrack hit number 3 on the American Billboard chart. Three singles "Love On The Rocks", "Hello Again" and "America" also hit the Top 10. My go to Neil Diamond is "I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight". I had an 8-track copy of it that I wore out. This is an awesome sounding recording so enjoy!

All though I wasn't a very big fan of Smashing Pumpkins during their heyday they are the band from the 1990s Alternative Rock Boom I still listen to the most. The 1990s for me was a time when a lot of personal problems really had me in a bad way. The music of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains among others actually spoke to me in a deep way. Maybe it's an association thing, I do hate thinking back to that period in my life. Anyway, I can remember when a girl that hung out with my group of friends told me "I heard a song that reminds me of you. It's called "Bullet With Butterfly Wings.." See my family of friends have a different nick name for me...it's Rat. For many reasons, one is that I come and go with out you knowing. I leave without saying goodbye or when you think I'm gone, you see me scurrying about. Plus I was from a town that everyone called Shacktown (it's listedon Wikipedia) and people from Shacktown are called Shackrats. It's a rough neighborhood where lots of my school friends were not allowed to visit me. So Shackrat became Rat...Just Dave is actually my legal alias from my time in the Thrash band Psychosis it's on everything. And I went way of track again but I already been smoking so Enjoy The Pumpkins!!

We have been on a bit of a Kansas kick at our home. I have been transferring my boots from a 5TB and a 4TB dive to a 22TB one. It's been a long process that is not quite finished. It however has been fun going through the archive finding shows that we forgot we had. Like this beautiful little item here. It's  only 22 minutes long but it sounds Great yes with a capitol G!!!  Every Kansas fan Definitely should download this show!!!!

I mean it every Kansas fan download this one here even if you have it in you're collection. Why? Because there is a little extra surprise inside since the show is so short!! What kind of surprise you ask? Here are a couple hints....Think unreleased demos...think vocalist Steve Walsh...think of the album released after Steve Walsh left Kansas...Think recordings made before Steve Walsh walked out....So if you guessed you are already downloading. If you haven't guessed you will find your answers will come to you at about 1MB per second when you download this great set!!
