Known Faults: Several passages of pre-recorded introductions and commercially released music are removed.

I can not tell you how much every single one of you needs this show in your collection! Look at the list of performers above! Wow! All to pay tribute to Roy Orbison and raise money for the homeless in America. The sound is really good on this one, everything seems to come through pretty good. As with a lot of audience recordings the louder you play it, the more you hear! That's said a lot about audience recordings but when they are recorded right it's true.

To have Roger McGuinn, David Crosby and Chris Hillman reunite as The Byrds with special guest Bob Dylan is worth the download. B.B. King jamming "The Thrill Is Gone" with Al Kooper! Bonus! John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt together on "I'm In The Mood". I could go on but I should not have to....

Draftervoi's notes:
This broadcast was a part of a short-lived simulcast experiment where KFOG was working with local television station UPN-44 (a.k.a KBHK-TV 44). The set is similar to the usual KFOG “in studio” shows, but it includes an atypical “artist close up” biography segment.  If you go to YouTube and search for Chris Isaak KFOG you'll find a clip of "Flying" from this broadcast (and that's where I got the picture)

I filled the show out with four tracks from two Bay Area Music Awards shows (“the Bammies”), and two songs from Silvertone’s demo tape that I recorded off the radio (college station KUSF) back in the early 80s.

NOTE:  I posted this a few years back with the WRONG YEAR.  1999 is the correct year (not 1998).

Flac files of wavs.  Sound is excellent on everything but the two demos, which are good but not great.
