Dramarama LIVE! MAX'S ON BROADWAY October 10 1990

This awesome show of Dramarama from Max's on Broadway, Fells Point, Baltimore, MD, was broadcast on WHFS 99.1 Annapolis, MD, on Nov 21 1990. Recorded by WHFS on D.A.T.
Taped by me on a TDK SA76 Cassette Tape Dolby C using my Pioneer CT-F1000 3 head tape deck.
This is a great show by a band that pretty much went nowhere, but IMHO are one the coolest bands of the late 80's, early 90's. You may remember a semi hit "Last Cigarette".

U2 Interview WHFS DAVID 04-25-1983 Open Reel Tape

Reupped MP3 @320 with artist added to the ID tag.


The story behind this post, is I was off that particular day in April, Wed the 25th, 1983. A couple of buddies and I would be going to see U2 at Richie Coliseum at the University of Maryland that evening. The place is no bigger than a high school basketball gym.

As I almost always do on my day off, I'm taping WHFS 102.3FM in Bethesda, MD. For me the best radio station ever. That day Bono and Adam Clayton came in for an interview and bring with them live promos and other releases that are damned rare even today. Not only is there an interview that is very good, but they play a lot of music form the time period that is influential to U2 and new wave in general. The tape is over 2.5 hours long, split into 9 segments of various links. The sound is excellent, and the entire tape, if your into that era, is very entertaining and informative. Killer live and alternative takes of early U2 as well as Joy Division and other music of the time. The section with U2 is almost an hour long. The show feels like a celebration of U2 coming into their own, but still really in their infancy. A must for any U2 fan, and a great listen for any casual fan of the band or just something cool from that period in mid 1983. This would make for a great road trip CD.
By the way, the concert was awesome. Saw my first mosh pit. Bono did a swan dive in the crowd. Brought a girl up on stage and danced with her. One of my all time, best of shows, that I've attended.


Check it out and let me know what you think.

Double Trouble with Special Guests, Austin City Limits 2001


I ripped this from a VHS tape that I purchased on e-prey. It looks to be an official release but who knows.


This show was broadcast on Austin City Limits in 2001.


Renowned throughout the 1980s as the powerful rhythm machine behind the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan, Double Trouble have also been an integral part of two other high profile Texas bands: the hard rocking Arc Angels and soulful Storyville. With the recent completion of the first Double Trouble record Been A Long Time, the two enlist some of today's hottest blues players to help them step from out of the background and into the spotlight.
Growing up in Texas, Shannon and Layton both figured out early on that their life's calling would have a beat to it. In the panhandle hamlet of Dumas, Shannon began playing guitar while absorbing the limited styles of music available to him. After high school, it was off to Big D where he was quickly exposed to the sounds of blues and soul — a revelation he could not have imagined while growing up. Under the guidance of Texas guitar great Johnny Winter, Shannon began an apprenticeship with the music he would play the rest of his life.
Layton left his hometown of Corpus Christi for Austin to expand his musical horizons after cutting his teeth in jazz and funk bands. After a stint with local favorites Greezy Wheels, he hooked-up with Shannon and became half of Vaughan's vaunted rhythm section. The rest, as they say, is music history.


"Cry Sky" (Malford Milligan vocals)

"Turn Towards the Mirror" (Charlie Sexton)

"Say One Thing" (Doyle Bramhall)

"In the Middle of the Night" (Jimmie Vaughan & Lou Ann Barton)

"Let the Good Times Roll" (Susan Tedeschi)

"In the Garden" (Susan Tedeschi)

"Baby There's No One Like You" (Jonny Lang)

"Ground Hog Day" (Jonny Lang)

"Skyscraper" (Charlie Sexton, Malford Milligan vocals)

Cruzados Live at The Roxy In L.A. KBFH




Here is a band I knew nothing about when I recorded this concert of the Cruzados from the King Biscuit Flower Hour 15 NOVEMBER 1987. Not sure when I put this on CDR and when it was taped. Probably 1988. These guys rock with some of the best power pop bands out there.

Give 'em a shot. If you like power pop, you should like this show.

The '80s rock band the Cruzados consisted of members Tito Larriva (lead vocals and guitar), Tony Marsico (bass and vocals), Steven Hufsteter (guitar), and Chalo Quintana (drums), and although they were often picked as "the next big thing" by both their musical peers and music critics, the group would remain together for only a pair of albums. During a brief four-year span, the Cruzados opened shows for the likes of Fleetwood Mac, INXS, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as appearing at Farm Aid (singing "This Land is Your Land," with such renowned artists as Neil Young and Arlo Guthrie). The two albums that the quartet issued for the Arista label, 1985's self-titled debut and 1987's After Dark, received praise from the likes of Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, David Byrne, Brian Setzer, and Billy Joel, but a trip to superstardom wasn't in the cards for the group, as they split before a third album could be assembled. In 2001, a compilation titled Unreleased Early Recordings was issued via the Cruzados' website, including a song ("Rising Sun") that featured Bob Dylan on harmonica. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

What This Is All About

I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.

I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.

I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........

Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.

Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!

If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!

I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
