A GYPSY SINGS OF BIRDS WITH BROKEN WINGS

Tom Petty & the Hearbreakers/ Westwood One Superstars In Concert 88-05 Jacksonville, FL

Petty did a lot of syndicated radio broadcasts in the 1980's.  Petty's 1980 Hammersmith appearance was repeated over and over by the King Biscuit Flower Hour....but he really made a partnership with Westwood One.  From 1985 through the end of Westwood One in the 2000's, Petty showed up almost every year with a new show from a recent tour, or a repeat of a classic broadcast.

This show is my personal favorite of the Westwood One shows.  I love it because the show has a large number of songs that were outside of the usual "greatest hits" set list that you'd expect from an arena-rocker.  Petty wasn't just trotting out his "greatest hits," but was putting out songs on a syndicated broadcast that you couldn't find on his records.

On this show, you get covers of the Byrds "The Ballad Of Easy Rider," Conway Twitty's "The Image Of Me," the Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go," Bo Diddley's "You Can't Judge A Book (By Looking At It's Cover)" and the Dave Clark Five's "Anyway You Want It."

A heck of an interesting set....to this day, how many performers would put Conway Twitty and the Clash on the same set list?

Anyway...that's why this particular show is my favorite live Petty show.

Tom Petty released his first album on November 9, 1976.

His sophomore release "You're Gonna Get It" didn't turn up until May 2, 1978, a long gap of a year and a half.  In the interim, we had this live tape that was broadcast over San Francisco's KSAN-FM.

Only three of the seven songs on the broadcast came from the first album.  Leading off with "Surrender," a great song that would remain unreleased until the Deluxe Edition of "Damn The Torpedoes" in 2010, Petty launches into a tight, focused set that plays to the band's strengths:  strong original material, the ability to extend a song with a jam that doesn't wander off into aimless noodling, and tasteful classic covers (in this case, the Nat King Cole Trio's "Route 66," by way of the Rolling Stones).

I was early into what was later called "New Wave" and "Punk."  I'd spent '74-'76 trying on a bunch of musical hats that didn't fit. Jazz rock with Herbie Hancock and Jean Luc Ponty. British music hall bands like Sailor.

I bought Patti Smith's 1st LP in late '75, bought the Ramones LP the week it came out in April '76...and that first Petty LP late in '76.

I was an evangelist; I'd show up and try and talk my friends into listening to the Heartbreakers. They were unconvinced. "Punk" put them off. SHORT hair? What the hell was wrong with me?
From 2017 it's hard to remember how badly that first Petty LP flopped; it didn't get airplay. Petty worked that record, he toured relentlessly, played hundreds of gigs...and finally the LP broke in England and the success washed back across the Atlantic Ocean and in '78 "Breakdown" finally cracked the U.S. charts.

In my efforts to win him a few fans, I handed out a lot of copies of this tape.

I went over to my pal Dennis' apartment in late '78 to buy...uh..to buy...uh something, let's leave it at that. Dennis was a mainstream hard rock guy...Boston, Ted Nugent, that sort of thing.
He thought the Ramones were lunk-headed morons and Patti Smith a caterwauling banshee. But Dennis told me he was "totally into this new punk rock thing." He'd bought the first Petty album, now over a year and a half old.

Hey, Petty had a leather jacket, just like the Ramones, so the category wasn't completely without merit. I had finally won a convert.

Petty wasn't a punk, though, he was a classic Rock & Roll musician who'd absorbed 60s rock influences (Beatles, Stones, Byrds) and a bunch of the '50's founding fathers licks (Berry, Diddley, Waters). He was himself, more than anything else; he wasn't jumping on a bandwagon.

I was wrong about a lot of things back then. Eddie & The Hot Rods would not make it big here; Blondie would have to "go disco" before America would listen, the Count Bishops turned out to be a footnote...but I was not wrong about Petty. Damn, I was 100% spot on the money with everything I said about him back then. Tom Petty was the real deal.

Okay, here's another tape from down in the basement...some of this is off of a "master" of the broadcast but based on tape hiss, I think I edited some of it down to save room.  Weird set...how often will you find Ted Nugent butting up against hip-hop?  There are SEVERAL songs I can't identify, if you know the names, please leave a comment and I'll update the files and set list.

Fans of a particular group may want to break this up into smaller sets...the Steve Miller set is pretty good.

Okay, gang, here's another digitization of a classic radio broadcast that I've been working on for what seems like forever, but it's time to cut the cord and let it out into the Internet.  UNFORTUNATELY, I don't have anything but a disc label to offer to you as collateral, but that's the way it goes with these things I buy off of EBAY.

It IS a pre-FM, recorded right off the original vinyl, and I worked like a dog to clean up the clicks n' pops n' surface noise. 

This same set list was rebroadcast by Westwood One as show #91-31 on August 3-4, 1991, with a different set of commercials.

Steve Downes is a god!

November 2024:

Updated the file to include a low resolution scan of the cue sheets taken from Discogs, a print ad from Radio & Records magazine, plus newspaper coverage. Added 300 dpi scans of all six disc labels.

Various Artists - S.F. Underground Vol. 2

First of all, it's been a heck of a summer.  New job after 24 years doing one thing, got a new job...but it threw off my rhythm.  I've been promising the boss an Allman Brothers show since about FOREVER, but I got bogged down in it, hunting down every last click and at the end of it, I'm still not satisfied.  Anyway, I know you almost gave up on me doing any new digitizations of vinyl.....but I'm back!      Pickle Rick! (look it up).

In the meanwhile, I needed something to cleanse my palette, something to wash out the taste of long, tasteful instrumental passages that I'd been listening to, over and over, for the last four months.

At the same time, I was trying to put together a punk sampler for a buddy o' mine, a couple o' hundred classic punk songs he oughta know...and I reached out for my copy of the Lewd's "Trailer Court".....

...but oh, the horror!  The album version wasn't the version I remembered, so it was down to the basement (hey daddy-o) to dig in the boxes of singles an' come up with this:  the version I remembered from KUSF-FM radio back-in-the-day!

Anyway...  flac files of wavs, I also included mp3s because WHY NOT, it's an EP and we got the room...also  300 dpi scans of EVERYTHING, covers, labels, lyrics, etc.

https://mega.nz/#!uBQgzbSY!hN8uhb9_7xPAM0Q9xYcP2mB3QL7rSIYr4zJdw6AS_g8

Also...while everything else on this falls into "hardcore," the Lewd song has a bit of "pop" to it, plus a few guitar overdubs that make it one of my favorites of the period.  The other three...well, they fall into that moment where punk changed into hardcore and a melody disappeared entirely, and being transgressive was the main thing.  All good stuff, but to me, the Lewd track is the keeper.
