The folks at King Biscuit and nationally syndicated DJ Dave Herman present an interview with The Eagles regarding their career and their latest release (at that time) EAGLES LIVE. Unlike most Biscuit shows, this is not a live concert recording, rather, it’s an “intimate” discussion featuring Don Felder, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. All five members of the band are interviewed by Herman. Contains original commercial blocks and DJ introductions by Herman.

pre-FM Double Vinyl LP

King Biscuit captured The Stones on two of their North American tours for this double vinyl release. As will most Biscuit shows, Side D is blank. The labels for this set were misprinted, identifying the artist as Elvis Costello & The Attractions. D.I.R. Broadcasting had to therefore apologize that the label was printed in error and that the label should read ‘The Rolling Stones.’ Because of this misprint, this set is extremely valuable and hard to find. My copy did not come with any of the original paperwork, which can be seen in the Discogs listing.

Week of 27 July 1980

pre-FM Double Vinyl LP

New York radio disc jockey Scott Muni leads a “round table” discussion with several well known disc jockeys from across the United States and the members of The Rolling Stones for a King Biscuit Flower Hour 90 minute radio special. As with the above listed A CONVERSATION WITH BOB SEGER show, this is also not a live concert recording. The disc jockeys present are Mark Parenteau from WBCN in Boston, (who was later sentenced to three years in federal prison for sexual child abuse, and who passed away in 2016), Norm Winer from WXRT in Chicago (who quit being a DJ in 2016 after 37 years at WXRT), Tempi Lindsey from KTXQ in Dallas, Jack Snyder from KMET in Los Angeles and Charlie Kendall from WMMR in Philadelphia (who later appeared as a regular host of Westwood One’s Superstar Concert Series). The entire group met at the WNEW studios in New York, where they all sat around a table drinking, smoking, telling stories and asking / answering questions from the various DJs. Some questions from “fans” are also presented, but no call-in audience members are present. One can actually hear cigarette lighters clicking, beer cans popping open and being poured, and glasses clinking throughout the show. Tracks from the most recent Stones album at the time, EMOTIONAL RESCUE, were also featured during the show. Original commercial blocks are also included.

No commercials are included on this set, and unlike most radio shows on vinyl, this set has Sides A and B on one LP, along with Sides C and D on the second LP. (Usually double LP radio shows were set up as Sides A and C on one LP, and Sides B and D on the second LP to allow DJs to play the sides continuously.) Note that Side B does not contain the 700 Hz Tone Locked Groove used for balancing the audio levels prior to broadcast, but Sides A, C and D do. (Side D actually has two such “tones”, one at the beginning of the side and one prior to the Promo spots.)

D.I.R., who produced the show in association with ABC Radio Networks, are the people behind King Biscuit. Most of the live tracks on this set were not recorded during the 1981 tour, however, these tracks were culled from previous shows recorded by D.I.R. Several of the concerts throughout the tour were captured and selected songs were released on the 1982 live album STILL LIFE (AMERICAN CONCERT 1981).

Original Broadcast –
Week of 10 April 1982

pre-FM Triple Vinyl LP

Yellow Mello Yello Label Version

This radio show is the first of many versions of the set from the Nassau Coliseum in 1981 that I own. It is also the most complete set from the Nassau Coliseum concert, with the only significant omission being Turn It On Again, found on other Westwood One radio shows and the THREE SIDES LIVE album and video. 

Dodo / Lurker, Abacab, Misunderstanding, Turn It On Again, Follow You, Follow Me, the In The Cage Medley and Behind The Lines can all be found on the THREE SIDES LIVE official live album ad video release. Partially recorded at The Nassau Coliseum in New York on 29 November 1981, (with the exception of Man On The Corner, No Reply At All and probably Misunderstanding which were most likely captured at The Savoy Club in New York City on 28 November 1981). Behind The Lines usually segued directly into Duchess when performed live, (and indeed it does so on THREE SIDES LIVE) however, this recording utilizes a quick fade out as Duchess begins and the song slips directly into No Reply At All. Lastly, Follow You, Follow Me was recorded at the Lyceum Ballroom in London on 7 May 1980.

Another version of this same set was pressed with green labels and sponsored by Sprite soda instead of Mello Yello. That show is listed directly below.

The running order of the songs gets jumbled at the end, with RKO choosing to place Misunderstanding and Illegal Alien after the show’s actual closer, Turn It On Again, thus creating a false encore. Presented on translucent vinyl. These transcription LPs are very hard to find.

This is another official release, this time from EMI America Records. This special promotional LP details Russ Ballard’s self titled 1984 release.

Side A is an audio-documentary of Russ Ballard’s career, narrated by Mary Turner, of Off The Record Special fame, interspersed with snippets of several of his compositions, in this order:

Argent – Hold Your Head Up
Roger Daltrey – Come And Get Your Love

 Another in the OTRSP series of shows featuring U2. This time Mary Turner interviews Adam Clayton and The Edge about the band’s politics, touring and their latest album (at that time) THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE. Includes live tracks from the UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY album, along with studio tracks from several other albums and original commercial blocks. As to the estimated broadcast date, my copy did not come with a Cue Sheet which would have listed the exact date. Investigation revealed that Show # 85-01 on Discogs has an image of a Cue Sheet, and that show aired between 31 December 1984 and the first week of January 1985. Therefore, this show, which is Show # 85-05, should have aired about four weeks later. Released on translucent vinyl.

This show is not currently listed on Discogs.

(The locations and dates are derived from the Wolfgang’s Vault website, and you can see the list of these Daltrey shows HERE.)

In addition to the stellar live tracks, the show features some backstage interview segments with Daltrey, and two performances from Daltrey’s guitarist Russ Ballard. Ballard performs YOUR TIME IS GONNA COME and VOICES, my all time favorite Ballard song!  A really great show from the Biscuit with Daltrey and his band in top form.

29 November 1981

Original Broadcast –
Week of 17 November 1986

pre-FM Double Vinyl LP

One of the most bootlegged radio broadcasts in Genesis’ history was recorded at the Empire Pool, Wembley. Genesis played two nights at Wembley in April of 1975, and the BBC were contracted to record both nights. Some sources quote the recording date as 14th, but comparison with an audience tape from 15th shows the recording is from the second night. This is Westwood One’s initial version of this concert, the first of many, and the first of three such copies that I own. All three versions are identical, with the exception of the commercials.

Sent out on a two LP set, the first part is forty-five minutes of Wembley 1975, the second part contains tracks from The Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York from 29 November 1981, except No Reply At All and maybe Misunderstanding which were most likely recorded the previous night at The Savoy Theatre on 28 November 1981.

Part IV: 21 December 1986

pre-FM Octuple Vinyl LP

The Genesis Event was a massive, marathon four-part show broadcast over four consecutive weeks compiled by King Biscuit to showcase their new recording of the band on the Invisible Touch Tour. As with all King Biscuit LP sets, each of the four shows was distributed on two LPs one of which is one-sided, making 8 LPs (12 sides) in total.

Part I contains various live Genesis songs which over the years have accumulated in the King Biscuit archives, recorded at The Spectrum in Philadelphia, Wembley Arena, The Rainbow Theatre and The Nassau Coliseum, along with interview clips from the band members. There are also a few of the new 1986 songs from the L.A. Forum. Part II concentrates on the various Genesis solo projects but with a couple more tracks from L.A. Forum 1986 show. Parts III and IV are dedicated entirely to the L.A. Forum 1986 recording, and were reproduced in June of 1987 as a two-part Best Of The Biscuit (listed below). 

Features original commercial blocks and DJ introductions by King Biscuit regular contributor Bill Minkin. Details about the tracks and recording venues can be found on the Discogs entries; links below. This is a fantastic set to own, one that is very hard to find, and took me years to complete.

I’ve also included several scans from the  INVISIBLE TOUCH era, some related to The Event, others not so much. But I’ve added them because all of them are pretty cool and they’re all in my personal collection.

pre-FM Triple Vinyl LP

Recorded during their Raised On Radio tour, this was Journey’s last tour with lead singer Steve Perry. This exact show was repackaged and released to radio stations again in November 1987. Note that the labels on this release indicate show # SS 85-G, while the Cue Sheet indicates show # SS 86-G. These are scans of the actual labels on the LPs, they simply have a misprint. The correct show number is SS 86-G.

Ironically, this show was recorded on the exact same night as the infamous L.A. Forum show on the Genesis Invisible Touch tour, just on the other side of the country, and it aired the same weekend as Part IV of The Genesis Event was broadcast on radio stations across the U.S..

Note: This exact same show, albeit with different commercial blocks, was originally released in August of 1986 under show # 86-32, and then was repackaged for airplay at least one other time in August of 1988. Neither of those versions are currently listed on Discogs. Given that this show is numbered 86-43, it was definitely released after August of that year.

Steve Winwood

Superstar Concert Series #87-01:

Westwood One Radio Networks Records

Recorded Live at The Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio:
17 September 1986

Original Broadcast –
Weekend of 17 January 1987

pre-FM Triple Vinyl LP

This is another in the Superstar Concert Series of shows which called into question the actual recording date of the concert, this time featuring Steve Winwood. Winwood and his band appeared at The Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls (just outside Cleveland) for a show who’s actual recording date has been incorrectly identified as 18 January 1987. That is most likely due to the fact that this show, which was the original broadcast version of the concert by Westwood One, aired on that exact weekend of 17 January 1987.  There was a later, identical broadcast in November of 1987, under show #87-E, which was (for a time) considered to be the original broadcast version. I previously owned a copy of that version (which you can see listed on Discogs  HERE and which includes the incorrect recording date). The actual recording date of the concert was 17 September 1986.

This show, like show #87-E, features host Steve Downes, along with original commercial blocks, and was released on translucent vinyl. For clarification, I have included scans of both show #87-01 and #87-E on this site, however, I no longer own a copy of show #87-E.

This item is not currently listed on Discogs, however, show #87-E is listed there, and the link is featured above.

29 November 1981

Original Broadcast –
Week of 11 May 1987

pre-FM Double Vinyl LP

This is the second version of this exact show that I own. Identical to #IC 86-26 (listed above) and #IC 88-25 (listed below). This is also the only version on vinyl which is not listed on Dave Dunnington’s website.

One unique note about this set: The Cue Sheet indicates that the show number is 87-09, referring to the fact that this would be Westwood One’s ninth show of 1987, however, the original airdate (as indicated by the Cue Sheet as well) states 11 May 1986. I have never seen a Westwood One Cue Sheet (or any pre-FM radio show Cue Sheet) which had a show number that did not correspond with the year of airing. This means that either the show number is incorrect and should have read 86-09, or the airdate is incorrect and should have read 11 May 1987. There is no definitive way to know for sure, but my guess is that the show number on the Cue Sheet is the one that is misprinted, especially given that the Matrix / Runouts indicate that the show number is 87-09.

Also, there are several songs on the Cue Sheet which are misidentified. For starters (and these two are small ones) Back In New York City is misidentified as “Back In New York” and The Carpet Crawlers is misidentified as “Carpet Crawl” on the Cue Sheet. The other song errors are more severe. Hairless Heart is misidentified as “The Chamber Of 32 Doors”, The Waiting Room is misidentified as “Evil Jam”, and the last song from the Wembley show, misidentified as “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” is actually a medley featuring Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats / The Colony Of Slippermen (Arrival) / Ravine / The Light Dies Down On Broadway / Riding The Scree.

King Biscuit Flower Hour Best Of The Biscuit -Genesis Two Part Special #BOB 683 / 684:

D.I.R. Broadcasting Records

Recorded Live at The Forum, Los Angeles, California:
14 – 15 October 1986

Original Broadcast –
Part I: 7 June 1987
Part II: 14 June 1987

pre-FM Quadruple Vinyl LP

So here it is… one of the best Genesis radio programs ever broadcast! Back in June of 1987, the King Biscuit Flower Hour ran a two part “Best Of” special over the course of two consecutive Sunday evenings containing portions of the now infamous L.A. Forum show from October 1986. I captured those shows onto cassette tapes, but I lost them some years later during a move. I cannot begin to describe the excitement I felt at the time, having never seen Genesis live in concert, when Bill Minkin announced that we would go right to the stage in the Forum in Los Angeles for Genesis! I had no idea the show was coming on, and when it started, I barely had time to grab a cassette tape and throw it into my stereo. And my excitement only grew when, years later, I finally obtained these vinyl discs for my private collection.

This performance comes from the sold out Invisible Touch tour. Genesis played five nights from 13 October to 17 October 1986 at The Los Angeles Forum and from comparison with audience tapes we know that Phil’s dialog is all from the shows recorded on the 14th and 15th. Presumably the songs are also from these two dates. The set features the smoldering closing sections of Supper’s Ready at the end of the In The Cage Medley, with Phil’s voice in screaming top form. This section was subsequently dropped when Genesis reverted to their standard ending of Afterglow. In Too Deep and Follow You Follow Me, also dropped early in the tour, are present. But it is, and always will be, the version of Mama that steals the show for me. This is, hands down, my most prized possession in my entire vinyl collection. (I actually have two copies of this show on vinyl, because there was a deep skip during That’s All on my original copy.)

This show was originally broadcast in December of 1986 by King Biscuit as part of a huge, four weekend special entitled The Genesis Event, which is listed above. The tracks on this two-part set were originally broadcast on Parts III and IV of that show.

Original Broadcast –
Week of 17 – 19 July 1987

pre-FM Triple Vinyl LP

Another show recorded live during the Brothers In Arms tour and sent to radio stations in the U.S. for broadcast, this was one of the most popular Straits Westwood One shows. As such, this concert was reproduced many times following this on LP and compact disc. This set features host Charlie Kendall and commercial blocks from Coke, Coke Classic and Sprite. Solid Rock, Expresso Love and Romeo And Juliet were not captured at Wembley Arena in ’85, but were taken directly from the official release ALCHEMY – DIRE STRAITS LIVE (which was recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon in London on 22–23 July 1983 and released on 16 March 1984) and edited into the show by Westwood One.

The opening track, Jacob’s Ladder, was originally written for Huey Lewis & The News. These LPs were later sourced for the promo LP LIVE – THE WAY IT IS TOUR 1986-87 (which can be viewed HERE) and several subsequent compact disc releases of the same show. Includes original commercial blocks and intros by King Biscuit regular contributor Bill Minkin.

Superstar Concert Series #CO 88-20:

Westwood One Radio Networks Records

Recorded Live in Orlando, Florida (Possibly at The Bob Carr Performing Arts Center: 14 July 1988)

Original Broadcast –
Week of 27 August 1988

pre-FM Triple Vinyl LP

This is the very first Westwood One Superstar Concert Series broadcast of this show, and at least one more would follow. Recorded during the band’s Scenes From The Southside ’88-’89 Tour. Includes original commercial blocks and radio intros by Superstar Concert Series regular Steve Downes. Released on translucent vinyl.

Recording Location / Date Note: During the start of Mandolin Rain, Hornsby can be heard discussing the fact that the show is being recorded for Westwood One. A fan can be heard shouting: “Welcome to Orlando!” Hornsby then states: “We picked Orlando because we liked it.” The exact recording date for this concert is not known, however, the false recording date of 27 August 1988 has been linked to this show for many years. In point of fact, I am most likely the source for this incorrect date. That is because I recorded the show off FM radio on 27 August 1988, and at the time, was unaware that these shows had been pre-recorded for broadcast. (I was under the false impression that the show was a live simulcast.)  I therefore dated the cassette tape with the recording date. Years later, I uploaded a torrent of this exact recording to the ZOMB torrent site, and attributed the recording date as the performance date. Apparently, it stuck. Oops… my bad!  Needless to say, I was very excited to finally discover the original vinyls for this show, even though I still have the original cassette tapes of the FM broadcast.

It is known that The Range played a concert at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center in Orlando on 14 July 1988, and it seems likely that this is the original source of this recording.

Commercial blocks and studio tracks are mixed with conversations between Richards and Turner, who appear in the studio together. Identical to a later broadcast under Show number 89-15 (listed below), but note that the Cue Sheet for this show lists two additional songs not listed on the later show. Those songs are How I Wish and Oh, Carol which is an early live version performed by The Rolling Stones. As I have both shows in my collection, I can attest that those songs exist on both shows as it was not uncommon for Westwood One to repackage these shows for later airing. Released on translucent vinyl.
