Original Upload Notes:
Tracks 18 & 25 * are two pretty long sections of enthusiastic crowd noise. I left them so you get the whole concert exactly as it has been recorded. For your listening pleasure, you may want to burn a CD without these two tracks.

Tracks 11 & 12 ** (fade-out & fade-in) were added to make a more pleasurable listening experience at the end of the first CD and at the start of the second one. When listening on a computer or any media that can accommodate more than 75 minutes of music, you can simply leave these two tracks out, so you get the whole concert in one go.

Now for my next installment of my Salute To Progressive Rock Bands we have If. If is a British Progressive Rock/Jazz Rock band that, like Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears merged Prog-Rock, Rock, Blues and Big Jazz horns. If was though a little more Progressive Rock than the a fore mentioned bands. The first song "Your City Is Falling" is the perfect track to set the scene for the rest of the show. The song starts with its chorus that sounds like something The Mothers Of Invention would come up with around 200 Motels era. It then morphs to a smooth Jazz that soon is taken over by a Hammond organ riff like Greg Allman. Vocalist J.W. Hodkinson has a bit of a unique way of blending a tone like Pete Townshend with the power of Roger Daltry, the drama of Greg Lake's delivery, sometimes with a Jack Bruce phrasing. Guitars that can sound like Pat Metheny's clean tone to fuzzed out wah-wah that would make the most diehard of the Fillmore freak go wow man. They really are hard to explain to the uninitiated, my advice is to download this CD if you love trying different. If you are a fan of Focus, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Terry Kath era Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears, throw them in a blender and your starting to understand.

Cliff Davies went on to make Ted Nugent's solo career a success. Dennis Elliot went on to play in Foreigner. Dave Greenslade would go on to work with Coloseum, Greenslade & as a solo artist. John Mealing played sessions for Mick Ronsoon, Leo Sayer, & John Entwistle ultimately joining The Strawbs. J.W. Hodkinson formed Rogue. Dick Morrissey went on to pay sessions with more names to count than we have space. Dave Quincy formed Zzebra. Dave Wintour went on to session work, including the bass on the Rocky Horror Picture Show track "Dammit Janet".

Other Notes:
Host Phil Hendrie got his start in radio at WBJW Florida in 1973. As all DJs do he moved from station to station as his career grew. He soon developed a cast of characters that he voiced. Phil Hendrie became one of the many hosts that Westwood One would use over the years. He also is a voice over actor in commercials, animated shorts and features. His credits include Futurama and King Of The Hill. He now has a podcast called Truth Is Our Bitch.

The Greg Kihn Band were on tour promoting their Kihnspiracy LP. Kihnspiracy gave The band their 1st Top 10 Hit "Jeapardy" topping the sales of their previous Hit "The Break Up Song" which hit the Top 20.

Here is something that's actually a little rare and I didn't even know it! Our good friend Draftervoi informed me that the "Pop Concerts" from Westwood One are rare. He also told me that although this concert was used in other broadcasts, this is the longest version of this Greg Kihn Band show. It's cool having friends that know stuff LOL!!! He also helped out with pictures and a couple news paper ads for the show. The Chicago 1983 Pre-FM I recently posted from my collection is also from the Westwood One Pop Concert series. I also have one from Crosby, Stills & Nash from the Pop Concert Series I will encode when I find the vinyl in all the boxes. Since the move every thing from the music room is still in boxes. It's going to take a while to get it situated...

According to the MC Introductions: Betty Davis dedicated this show to Miles Davis.

Betty Davis, the second wife of Miles Davis, never obtained the heights she should have when she was releasing records and touring the world. Like many ground breaking artists, she flew a little low on the radar for most of the music listening masses. Putting her sexuality right up front for all to see, she blazed a trail for artists like Madonna to dress and act as sensual and sexual as they wanted. Why not male artists were wearing tight pants and a lot stuffed them to look um bigger.

Let's talk about the music a bit. It was a mixture of Raw Funk and Jazz (yes please!). Betty and her backing band functioned as a real band. All the songs they wrote were written together in band Jam sessions. Improvisation was a huge part of their live performances. Betty was very influential to her husband Miles in the fact she introduced him to both Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. The influence of Bety Davis, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone is written all over the Bitches Brew album.

The recording is a really good audience recording with very little audience noise interfering with the listening experience. There is some wind noise at times. The taper admits in his notes that he didn't have wind screens for his mcs.

Miles Davis was scheduled to play this festival but decided to take a break from music, which lasted 5 years. He personally had Betty Davis booked to replace him. There is a great documentary about Betty Davis called Betty: They Say I'm Different which you should seek out if you want to learn more about Betty. I watched it on a online streaming service called TUBI at of course https:tubi.com not sure if the documentary still available or not. It is a free service you can sign up for (they don't bomb your email either). A lot of cable providers have it for free in their app sections so check it out they have a lot of music documentaries that I had never heard of...Enjoy The Betty Davis My Friends!!

- Show is hosted but the host never identifies himself.

Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a felt disc cleaner was used on the record prior to playback.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable balanced: Needle Tracking, Azimuth, Pressure & Antiskid Dialed In: Soundcard stereo field maximized: Goldwave always set to record while filtering any offset.

- Both manually de-clicked and some Pop Fix used depending on what got the best result

Other Notes:
- Show is another in the RARE "Pop Concert Series" Westwood One Concerts & Specials from Westwood One. Some of the shows were Concerts while some were actually "Star Profiles". The counterpart of the "Pop Concert Series" is Westwood One Startrak Profiles / Westwood One Startrak Profiles - In Concert. As titled some are "Star Profiles" while others are Concerts. They both seem to have the same PC lettering system.

From the Sam Eliot's Mustache Collection
Brought to you by the Collective For Live Music

Digitized By Draftervoi from the original radio reel-to-reel tapes.

While this show was intended to be a single broadcast I've broken the songs up by group, in case people want only one or two of the groups for their collection.

Atlanta radio station WKLS-FM and Capricorn Records co-sponsored a one-time show "The Rebel Jam" featuring three of the labels acts: Stillwater, Dixie Dregs, and Sea Level.  The finale featured a jam by members of all three groups, joined by J.D. Mangrum of Black Oak Arkansas and Larry Berwald from Wet Willie.

It was a free concert. WKLS-FM listeners registered at local record stores and when your name was drawn and called out over the air, you had 24 hours to claim your tickets by calling the radio station.

It proved a popular idea, so 96 Rock broadcast the show live.  This is NOT from the live broadcast, however.  Capricorn Records recorded the show on a 24-track mobile recording studio, and mixed and edited it down to three reel-to-reel tapes.  Capricorn distributed the tapes to stations in the Superstars Radio Network (there's an additional essay with more information on the Superstars Radio Network included). Based on our prior research, there were probably about 40 stations in the network...and not all of them would have picked up a Southern Rock live show.  We don't know how many stations broadcast the mixed and edited version.

"Out On A Limb," "Mind Bender, "Grand Larceny," and "Refried Funky Chicken" were officially released on a 2-LP Capricorn Records various artists live compilation "Hotels, Motels And Road Shows" in July 1978. A truncated version of the album was issued in Japan in 1989. All of the Rebel Jam songs were on the CD.  There does not appear to be a domestic or European released on CD.

The Ruth Mitchell Dance Company performed during two of Dixie Dreg's songs.  The Internet tells me Ruth Mitchell opened her dance studio in Atlanta in 1957 and that "she loved jazz dancing, and many of the pieces she choreographed reflected that affinity, along with bridging dance into rock music. Her pieces included interpretations of The Alan Parsons Project’s Tales of Edgar Allen Poe, The Who’s Tommy and Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells. Other memorable pieces by Mitchell include Cindy, Archy and Mehitabel, Panopticon and Dark Side of the Moon."

In 1978 in San Francisco, I was all about punk rock: louder, faster, shorter was the order of the day and musical virtuosity was not just suspect but downright opposed. For me, there's a lot on this tape that's very interesting to me.  Southern Rock wasn't as popular in the Bay Area as on its home turf down in Dixie; they wouldn't have broadcast a show like this on local radio.  I'd never heard of Stillwater; had ONE SINGLE FRIEND who listened to the Dixie Dregs, and never heard Sea Level back in the day. So this is a chance for me to hear what I missed in 1978.

All of these band featured virtuoso players; in particular Dixie Dregs and Sea Level stand out as bands I should have paid attention to 1978 had I not been genre snob.

Another show that's not my work, it was uploaded in a big folder on Guitars101 by an uploader named HeresJohnny. He uploaded a lot of shows in a lot of folders that were some of his and some he had collected over the years. So I am not sure who encoded this one. It is a Live From Gilley's Pre-FM complete with the commercials and it's WILLIE!! The words Willie Nelson and Pre-FM recording should be all we need to hear!!

Not my work really, it was uploaded as unedited flac files ripped from the broadcast CD. I decoded the files and indexed them. I did no sound tampering whatsoever.

The Great White portion of the show is what I really uploaded this for. It's in tribute to vocalist Jack Russell who died in 2024 from the same disease that killed my Dad, Lewy Body Dementia. I've had it for awhile now all zipped up and ready to go, but broke down every time I tried. Jack Russell had lived with it for years before it was diagnosed like most who have it. He died shortly after being diagnosed, like most who have it. His symptoms were confused as caused by alcohol or drug relapses. He may have had relapses too, he was an addict but... Sadly there is an alcohol and drug association with Lewy Body Dementia but not a proven causation link. There is in chemical poisoning however.

Think of this as the live album from the Frank Zappa United States Tour 1980 that should have been made. Compiled by JWB from uploads by Drew51, Erroneous, LudzNL, Yojimbo & flambay at http://www.zappateers.com. I really enjoyed this show, every song was picked by JWB by determining which performances he liked and had what he thought was a great performance by drummer Vinnie Colaiuta who he felt made the band great that tour. They also had to be unreleased. JWB's notes are included in the download.

Jimmy Bower (Eyehategod) – drums

JustDave's Notes:
- This was at the end of side 2 of the My Dying Bride Waldrock 2004 cassette.
- This cassette I can not remember who I traded with to get, it was quite a few years ago I haven't traded tapes in a long time.

Editing Notes:
- Recorded & editing done at 24bit/96khz.
- I cleaned up the fade in and fade out of the beginning and end of the recording.
- I also evened the volume between the left and right channels. The left channel having been much louder than the right channel.

Other Notes:
- Promoting the Down III: Over the Under release, the lyrical content of which covers subjects such as the breakup of Pantera, the murder of ex-Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, the band's anger at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and Anselmo's recovery from back surgery and drug addiction.
- Down almost didn't let this broadcast happen due to their fear that the cover of When The Levee Breaks wasn't good enough.
- Down formed in 1991 with vocalist/songwriter Phil Anselmo of Pantera, guitarist Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity, second guitarist Kirk Windstein and bassist Todd Strange of Crowbar, and drummer Jimmy Bower of Eyehategod.
- All of the band members were longtime friends, and shared interest in bands such as Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus, which would significantly influence the music they made.
- The band made a three-track demo for underground trading. In an effort to build a fan base, the band would ask heavy metal fans if they had ever "heard of this band, Down" and hand them copies of the tape without telling the person that they were in the band.
- Eventually, the tape was distributed throughout the United States and Down played a small concert in its hometown. A record executive from Elektra Records was attending the show. When he found out who the members of the band were, he signed Down to a recording contract.

This is not my work but the work of The Krw_co Crew. It's actually edited with all the commercials which is something they rarely do. So I was happy when I found it and now I'm happy to share it with You! The original Krw_co production notes are included with the download.

Included in the download is a copy of Westwood One's ad for the show in Billboard Magazine along with a copy of the Billboard Magazine in question.. Also there is a picture from the gig taken from the website https://www.rockinhouston.com/ . An informative history of Rock Concerts in Houston.

Some of the commercials as well as voice overs were indexed together with songs or each other. I decoded the files, edited the track marks then re-encoded the waves. I did not do any remastering or noise reduction just indexed a couple files and re-encoded. I also put the test tones in their own folder so if you want them they are there.

The Jazz Ensemble called Sphere was founded as a Tribute to Thelonious Monk who's middle name was Sphere. At the time there were already Jazz bands forming In Tribute to the Living Legends in Sphere. Kenny Baron, Charlie Rouse, Buster Williams, and Ben Riley you can not miss when you load up the stage with that much talent. This Quartet is awesome. The music flows easy, even during the solo sections. Every player contributes to great effect without any egos trying to over power the other. This simply is some Great Jazz performed by a Quartet of Fabulous Players.

JustDave's Notes:
- Big Thank You to Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending in his vinyl for encoding.
- Thank to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for all the help and inspiration.

Known Flaws:
- The second Levi's Cords commercial has a sound effect that sounds so close to record static I don't know what the producers were thinking. It is not the record it is the effect.
- At the beginning of "Euroshima" there is a stage noise like a loose cable.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone at the start of Side A for DJs to set levels and ballance befor broadcasting. It has not been encoded.
- There are 2 locked groove show promo beds at the end of Side B. One with a Bill Minkin voiceover one without, they have been encoded and moved to the end of the program.

Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LPs prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a microfiber disc cleaner was used on the records prior to playback.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System using distilled water prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable & tone arm balanced: Needle Tracking & Azimuth set: Needle Pressure & Antiskid digitaly set:
- Computer Soundcard stereo field maximized.
- Goldwave set to record while filtering any DC Offset.
- Recording and all editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served the situation.
- Raised the volume of the commercials to match that of the music and voice overs.
- A rumble filter with an initial cut off of 50khz and a static steepness of 2 was used to lessen the needle noise on the commercials due to having to raise the volume to match that of the music and voice overs.

Other Notes:
- John Waite dedicates the song "Dream Time/Shake It Up" to John Lennon saying he wrote it years ago in New York.
- The song "The Choice" was unreleased at the time of this recording. It would be released on Waite's 3rd solo album Mask Of Smiles.
- This broadcast was recorded at 2 locations and edited to make one show.

JustDave's Notes:
- A Great Big Thank You to Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending me the show for encoding!
- As always a huge thank You to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for help and inspiration.
- Thank you to Draftervoi who heads up The Collective's Research Department for the newspaper articles and the King Biscuit Ad Poster from Your private collection.

Recording Notes:
- Sam Elliot's Mustache sent this one to me on CD-r after recording it at home so I could compare this 2 part show with the Best Of The Biscuit version of the show.
- There is a locked groove test tone at the beginning of both Side As for radio stations to set balance and output levels before broadcast. It was not encoded.
- There are two locked groove show promos for both record sets as well and these were not encoded either
- This King Biscuit Flower Hour 2 Part Show was produced by Neil "Spyder" Geraldo.
- 2 shows were recorded and they took the best performances from the 2 shows to make up this 2 part broadcast.
- The songs that Part 1 and Part 2 have in common "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Heartbreaker" and "Hell Is For Children" are the same performances just repeated.
- These recordings have also been released as King Biscuit Flower Hour Best Of The Biscuit Show #409. Both parts are edited to make one regular length King Biscuit Flower Hour show.
- The Best Of The Biscuit show drops "Little Paradise", "We Live For Love", "Hell Is For Children", "It's A Tough Life", "Fire And Ice", and "In The Heat Of The Night".
- There are no different takes of songs on the Best Of The Biscuit either although the running order is different.

Editing Notes:
- Recording and editing done in 16bit/44,1khz.
- No 24bit/96khz edition of this show will be released due to it being recorded to CD-r at 16bit and upsampling to 24bit is just making a 16bit file bigger not a file with more depth.
- Exact Audio Copy was used to extract the audio from the CD-rs.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Manually declicked with just a little noise reduction used in parts because it better suited the situation.
- As with all King Biscuit shows I've edited so far, the commercials had a maked difference in volume to the music. Volume was adjusted to match the body of the show.
- A High Pass Rumble/Bump Filter with an initial cut off 40Hz was used on the commercials as the low volume they were mastered with causes needle noise.
- The beginning of Part 2's "Hell Is For Children" had a bad noise that could not be removed. The beginning of Part 1's "Hell Is For Children" was used in it's place.

Other Notes:
- During the show I heard Pat mention Austin but I did not hear her mention Dallas.
- It does not escape me that in the late '70s early '80s so many Rockers were using Reggae rhythms and guitar riffs. Examples being, New Wave: The Police: Punk Rock: The Clash: Hard Rock: Pat Benatar: Rock: Eric Clapton: Progressive Rock (Progressive Metal Godfathers): Rush. Disco and Funk were borrowing from it too. All to great success in the U.S.A.
- Saddly in the U.S.A. real Reggae like Bob Marley, Toots and The Maytals, and Peter Tosh, they were relegated to the high school stoners, college scenesters and hippies.

Alright Frank Zappa Fans what we have here is yet another bootleg with the same idea as Shut Up And Play Your Guitar. 3 CDs worth of Frank Zappa guitar solos, that's almost 4 hours of guitar. They range from soundboard to audience recordings but everything is enjoyable. I figured I kept giving you re-posts of Frank Zappa stuff from my collection it was time for something new from my archive. I downloaded this one from an ed2k link with EMule! Anyone remember that? Well some people still use it and it's where I found this. I scour the net so you don't have to. So like I said it's just seconds short of 4 hours of Frank Zappa guitar solos so I hope you have some free time!
