This week we have a great new soundboard of a show from a year that's often under appreciated - 1980. This comes to us from August 29th, 1980, when the boys played the Spectrum in Philladelphia. The first set, which we'll hear this week, starts off with a rockin' Alabama Getaway->Promised Land opener. The band proceeds to play a really high energy twelve song first set, nicely played and sounding like they were really listening to one another. Brent fits in very nicely here, as he's really found his spot by now. I really enjoy the Big River, and Row Jimmy, and check out the crazy set closing Deal!!!
This week marks the start of KOPN's spring pledge drive, so I am asking for your help in allowing our community radio station, and this podcast, to remain on the air. Any contribution, no matter what, will help to keep us going. I'm working on securing some CDs to use as premiums to thank you for your support, and will announce them when and if they're finalized. But in the meantime, I hope you'll consider clicking on the contribute now button and helping us out with your contribution. If you prefer to phone in your support, you can reach the station at (573) 874-1139. Thanks!!

ReplyDeleteOh man... thanks for the fantastic sounds. Memories reman, and the music is as good today as it was yesteryear.
Keep up to terrific work!
And as a suggestion or beg... maybe something from the Radio City run of October 1980 or Saratoga Springs PAC, June 1983? Those were some awesome shows... and awesome times.
Professor,

ReplyDeleteMan, every was playing and singing so well here. Jerry sounded great, Bob sounded great, Brent sounded great. Although it was all noteworthy, Sailor > Saint was a highlight for me. Thanks, Professor!
