Draftervoi's notes:
This broadcast was a part of a short-lived simulcast experiment where KFOG was working with local television station UPN-44 (a.k.a KBHK-TV 44). The set is similar to the usual KFOG “in studio” shows, but it includes an atypical “artist close up” biography segment.  If you go to YouTube and search for Chris Isaak KFOG you'll find a clip of "Flying" from this broadcast (and that's where I got the picture)

I filled the show out with four tracks from two Bay Area Music Awards shows (“the Bammies”), and two songs from Silvertone’s demo tape that I recorded off the radio (college station KUSF) back in the early 80s.

NOTE:  I posted this a few years back with the WRONG YEAR.  1999 is the correct year (not 1998).

Flac files of wavs.  Sound is excellent on everything but the two demos, which are good but not great.

A great sounding Pre-FM from Robert Plant's first solo tour of The USA. This show was digitized from the original radio broadcast vinyl LP set. I also have a version that came from a broadcast CD source which must have been a rebroadcast.

This is a large file set so I have divided the flac into 2 parts. Both parts are needed to unzip.

Alas when I checked it before this post the site was no longer available. This is a great show from this period, Kansas would go on hiatus after this tour.

A nice sounding set from The Keith Jarrett Trio. I've always liked hearing Jazz artists take on Rock or Pop songs. I'm not a big fan of Bob Dylan myself, I like some stuff but one greatest hits collection and a CD my wife got for free from Victoria's Secret (no lie they were giving them away with purchase, it's called Dylan Love or something like that) make up my Dylan collection. That being said I love the versions of the 2 Dylan songs performed here and I think any Dylan fan might too. The "Unknown Title" seems to be an improvisation, a highly recommended boot.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (formerly punctuated Godspeed You Black Emperor! and commonly abbreviated to GYBE! or GY!BE) is a Canadian Post-Rock band which originated from Montreal, Quebec in 1994. The band took its name from God Speed You! Black Emperor, a 1976 Japanese black-and-white documentary by director Mitsuo Yanagimachi, which follows the exploits of a Japanese biker gang, The Black Emperors. The band uses film projections as an integral part of their live shows. They are also a taper friendly band allowing fans to tape & share shows.

Many Post-Metal bands cite Godspeed You! Black Emperor as a big influence on their sound. Such bands as Nuerosis, Agolloch, Wolves In The Throne Room, ISIS, Pelican, and Mogwai among others claim Godspeed You! Black Emperor as well as Dead Can Dance, were a bigger influence than any particular Metal band.

This is the band mentioned in Michael Moore's book Dude, Where's My Country? that was held on suspicion of terrorism while on tour in the USA. After stopping at a local gas station for fuel in the town of Ardmore, Oklahoma, during their 2003 tour of the United States. The station attendant working that day believed the group of Canadians to be terrorists. She quickly passed a note to another customer also getting fuel to call the police. When the local police appeared, the group was held until they could be questioned by the FBI. Although the police were suspicious of the band's anti-government documents and some photos they had (such as those of oil rigs), they found no incriminating evidence. After background checks were run, the ensemble was released from custody and continued on their way to their next show in Columbia, MO. Efrim Menuck later spoke to the crowd about what happened to them during their appearance in Missouri and speculated that their origin was a motive for being released quickly ("It's a good thing we're nice white kids from Canada"), hinting at racism in the police force.

The bootleg is titled Unreleased Radio Broadcast but the show was actually never aired. Kiss was the opening act for Rory Gallagher and WMMS-FM broadcast Rory's set but not Kiss'. This is the gig mentioned in the Kiss biography where Peter Criss III passed out on his drum riser. The riser rose during the ending of "Black Diamond" and Peter was overcome by the smoke from all the on stage explosions. Most of the stage banter has been edited out by the bootlegger, but the music is all there for us to get a peek into history when Kiss was young and hungry.
