The Motor City's Mitch Ryder came out of the streets of Hamtramck, Michigan where he sang backup for a local group called The Peps. He left the group due to racial tensions and started fronting his own group. In the early 1960's  he was fronting Billy Lee & The Rivieras when he attracted the attention of record producer Bob Crewe. Bob renamed the band Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels and started releasing the bands records. The band had a string of Top Ten hits including "Jenny Take a Ride", "Little Latin Lupe Lu", "Devil with a Blue Dress On", and "Sock It To Me-Baby". Mitch went solo in the mid 1960's but never really matched the commercial success of the Detroit Wheels era. He remained on independent labels during the late 1970's early 1980's until John Cougar Mellencamp produced the Never Kick A Sleeping Dog album for Mitch's major label return. This show comes from the tour to promote that album. So download this one to here Mitch rip through a set of his 60's & 70's classics along with new tracks, of note is the performance of "Bow Wow Wow" a song he had recorded with Detroit band Was(Not Was).

JustDave's Notes:
- I have to say thank you to Sam Elliot's Mustache because this comes to us from his ever growing collection of Pre-FM recordings.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove "Ovu" Test Tone at the beginning of Side A for DJs to set levels before broadcasting of program. It has been encoded and moved to it's own folder so as not to be accidentily played.
- There are 2 locked groove Music Promo Beds at the end of Side B, 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 digitally 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:
- I always wondered what happened to Robyn Robins after he left The Silver Bullet Band. He spent 1982 through 1983 playing keyboards for the Henry Small led PRiSM during their tour to promote the album Small Change.
- I found a date April 25, 1982 for the show from the Kalamazoo Public Library website at https://www.kpl.gov/local-history/kalamazoo-history/arts-entertainment/loverboy-at-wings-stadium-4-25-1982/ which says both Loverboy and PRiSM were recorded for King Bicuit Flower Hour, tickets were $10.00 US and it was a sellout at 7200 persons in attendance. PRiSM was the opening act for Loverboy. It gives an initial date of May 23, 1982 airing for PRiSM on King Biscuit and a full setlist of Young and Restless, Heart and Soul, He’s In The Jailhouse Now, Rain, When Will I See You Again, Hole In Paradise, Don’t Let Him Know, Encore: Long Tall Sally. There is also a page just for dates of concerts at Wings Stadium https://www.kpl.gov/local-history/kalamazoo-history/arts-entertainment/wings-stadium/
- Looking through the Ian Hunter Track finder at https://www.hunter-mott.com/discography/index_tracks_ih.html this recording could be from Dr. Pepper Music Festival, Pier 84, New York NY September 11, 1981 or The Rick Derringer Benefit The Palladium, New York NY September 13, 1981 both shows were licensed by King Biscuit Flower Hour for broadcast.
- Bill Minkin only says Ian Hunter was recorded in New York City. I do believe it's from the Dr. Pepper Fest but I am not certain so just the year 1981 was used to date it.

JustDave's Notes:
- Once again we are in debt to Sam Elliot's Mustache for loning his vinyl for encoding.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove "Ovu" Test Tone at the beginning of Side A for DJs to set levels before airing the program. It has been encoded and place in it's own folder so as not to be played accidently.
- There are 2 locked groove music promo beds at the end of Side C, one with a Bill Minkin voiceover one without. They have been encoded as well.

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.

- 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:
- I've liked Saga every since I saw my first video of them on MTV. Michael Sadler standing at the mic with his big mustache singing. I forget the song now, too bad because it was a start. I've collected a few shows by Saga off the internet but the more shows I of theirs I edit for Sam Elliot's Mustache the more I think Saga was a great live band! They play very well live and deliver a visual show to boot (literally I guess).

Plain and simple Nguyên Lê is a kick ass guitarist that all that love Jazz Guitar should check out. As a matter of fact I have already share 2 Nguyên Lê shows from his Jazz Tribute To Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon (here & here). They were pretty popular, now's your chance to hear his playing in a more stripped down musical setting. From the Pat Metheny-esque beginning of "Jazz Nelson" to the frenetic McLaughlin-isms of "Dance Of The Comet" this show should prove to be a very pleasant listen.

Alright to continue my Salute To Progressive Rock we have It Bites from Cumbria, England. It Bites may be a controversial choice for Prog-Rock Purists. The band combines a sort of Power Pop vocal, verse big chorus style, with solo sections filtered through a John Abercrombie, John McLaughlin play book. There is also the touch of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock in the music that should make It Bites fit well with Porcupine Tree fans. That's almost a good way to describe It Bites but of course the best way is to see for yourself is to download the show. By the way I really recommend this band.

My first experience hearing Ambrosia was when I was in Junior High School, about 13 or 14 years old. It was in my literature class and we were reading the novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. We had read the poem The Jabberwocky and this kid named Kieth says "Ambrosia put that on their album". The teacher said to bring it in so he did the next day. The teacher played the song "Mama Frog" which is the one with the Jabberwocky section. We then discussed the presentation of the poem in the song etc. After the discussion the teacher says we can read and listen to the music.

The music of the first 2 Ambrosia records mined the same waters of Commercial Progressive Rock that Kansas did. The difference being that Ambrosia tempered their Progressive Rock leanings with the Arena Rock of say Toto while Kansas paired theirs with more of a Mainstream Hard Rock sound. Ambrosia wanted to hit the Rock Singles Radio stations. Kansas wanted the FM Album Rock audience. This show catches Ambrosia on tour to support their 3rd album Life Beyond L.A. This album marked a further watering down of their sound, to where the Prog-Rock tendencies were non-existent. The follow up One Eighty went even further down that pathway. It earned the band some chart hits however. Both "How Much I Feel" and "Biggest Part Of Me" hit #3 on The Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. The bands 5th album Road Island was a welcomed return to the Progressive Music of the 1st 2 LPs.

justdave's notes:
I used DVD Audio Extractor to rip the wave files. I then used Goldwave to raise the volume and re-edit some of the track marks. I then encoded the files to MP3 320kbps since the DVD had lossy audio.

Fans of 1970's Hard Rock/Metal such as Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Mountain will definitely enjoy Kamchatka. The Power Trio hails from Sweden and take their name from the volcanically active Russian Kamchatka Peninsula. The band cites influences such as Cactus, King Crimson, Sarah Vaughan, Kyuss, & Devo. Guitarist Thomas Anderson's riff based playing has been compared to Jimi Hendrix & Robin Trower while the bands Bluesy music draws comparison to The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and Led Zeppelin. This is some great Hard Rock in the 1970's tradition and I highly recommend it!

No information was given with this file set not even an information text. I labeled it a soundboard but it is most likely an FM broadcast recording. With 17 tracks and clocking in at a little over an hour this Pure Prairie League concert is sure to please even the most casual of fans. Although Pure Prairie League enjoyed a long career and hit songs, along with Atlanta Rhythm Section and Point Blank they are the road least remembered of the Southern Rock boom of the 1970s. These days when discussing Southern Rock they speak of The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker and Molly Hatchet. During the 1970s you could not turn on your FM Radio without hearing some Southern Rock along side Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. So lets take atrip back in time on a road less traveled with Pure Prairie League.

This Sunday Morning Jazz offering comes from Jazz Great Dave Douglas. Not sure how this one will set with Jazz Purists. With the High Risk quartet Dave embraces elements of Electronic Music, synthesizers, loops, samples, electric percussion and bass tones that will give your sub woofer a work out. Some critics have applauded this experiment stating ..."Dave Douglas' blending of Jazz & Electronic Music blurs the line between the two so that there is no distinction which form he's really playing." Personally I always have enjoyed musicians who try to expand the musical landscape. Have an open mind and give this one a listen.

JustDave's Notes:
- A huge Thank You to Sam Elliot's Mustache for sharing his ever growing Pre-FM collection with The Collective Of Live Music for encoding!!

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove "Ovu" Test Tone at the beginning of Side A for DJs to set levels before airing the program. It has been encoded and place in it's own folder so as not to be played accidently.
- There are 2 locked groove music 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.
- This show comes from recordings made at The Royal Oak Music Theater during during both the early and late show.
- This recording was also commercially released as the VHS/DVD Live At The Royal Oak.

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:
- Todd Rundgren & Utopia actually played 2 shows at The Royal Oak Music Theater on April 3, 1981. An Early Show at 7:30 PM and a Late Show at 10:30 PM. Info from https://www.trconnection.com/todd/arcd-r/year=1981 I do not know if this recording comes from the early set, the late set, or a combination using the best sources from each, which is what you do for a live album.
