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!!
