300 dpi scans of the disc labels and cue sheets!

No year is listed on the cue sheet, but it's from the early 1980s, most likely in 1983.  Mr. Friedman was featuring songs from his 1983 LP, "Under The Double Ego."

On Discogs, there is an album entitled "Live From The Lone Star Cafe."  I don't have copy but it's likely these are the same songs from the same show...however, this radio show has three songs not listed "People Who Read People Magazine," "Fraulein," and "The Ballad of Charles Whitman."

There's no date listed on the release on Discogs.  A search on Newspapers.com found proof that Mr. Friedman played the Lone Star Cafe in 1983 on September 20th and December 3rd.

The promo says it includes guests Tompall Glaser and NBC's Don Imus but I don't hear either of 'em on the show.

Friedman first came along in the early 70's when he was too weird for country radio and too country for rock radio...which was unfortunate for his career.  I recall a review that referred to him as "the Frank Zappa of Country Music," which is a poor comparison.  While Friedman uses humor in his best known songs, he also can write with a sincerity not present in Mr. Zappa's lyrics (and Friedman's music exhibits none of Zappa's technical prowess).

While this includes several of his humorous (and/or controversial) songs, most of it is committed, sincere country and western music (although...does anyone else hear the two-chord vamp of "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" as sounding very much like the Velvet Underground's "Heroin?")

There's not a lot of live Friedman circulating, so I'm glad to have won the bid for this LP on Ebay, and to have a chance to share it with you.

Also, of note:  Mr. Friedman does his infamous "The Ballad of Charles Whitman," a surprising choice for a national radio broadcast. Whitman was the infamous Texas Tower Sniper who killed seventeen people and wounded dozens of others in 1966.

Let's see...what else?  Oh, a vintage XEROX ad for an early personal photocopier, by Celtics star John Havlicek!  Plus announcing by New York City disk jockey, Dan Daniel, "known on the air as Dandy Dan Daniel and Triple-D."

Jethro Tull - Captured Live! CL-583 (L.A. Memorial Sports Arena 1980)

JETHRO TULL - CAPTURED LIVE!
RKO Radio Networks CL 583
Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena
Corrected date of the show is November 12, 1980

I've never been a big fan of Jethro Tull.  Back in '76 or '77, a friend of mine dropped by the restaurant where I worked as a cook to say "hi" before heading to a Tull show in Oakland.  He came back before the end of my shift...obviously not having stayed for the entire show.

"The band came on with this dancing pantomime zebra.  Two guys jumping around in a zebra costume.  Anderson comes out on stage, and the zebra poops out three rubber balls out of its ass.  Anderson picks up the zebra poop rubber balls, and starts JUGGLING for the crowd.  I thought this isn't rock and roll, this is a circus act.   Three songs later, I left."

There are reasons why I became a punk rocker in 1977...and that's one of 'em.  Forty years later?  Ah, it was fun digitizing this show, and I hope you like it.

Digitized from the five sided, 3-LP syndicated radio disc. Side 6 was blank.

The show is hosted by Perry Stone.  This version does not have commercials on it.  There was also another version of the show with national commercials.

All tracks are recorded live at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on December 11, 1980 during Jethro Tull's "A" tour. The internet says this concert was previously released in 1981 as one of the 3LP "A Night On The Road" syndicated radio broadcasts (ANOTR-581).  The "A Night On The Road" version includes three songs missing on this Captured Live! show: Working John Working Joe, Protect And Survive, and Locomotive Breath, but is missing Batteries Not Included and Uniform (included here).

I don't have the ANOTR version, but I'll keep an eye on EBAY.  It'll turn up eventually, and if so, I'll throw a bid at it.

The Internet also tells me that Perry Stone erroneously mentions Peter-John Vettese as the keyboard-player where it should be Eddie Jobson. The Internet is a bit of a know-it-all, isn't it?

This is the bootleg version of BBC In Concert #410.
The record label is black ink, instead of the green and black of the real record.

According to Discogs, the true matrix numbers end in -S instead of -1 and -2.

The sound quality is great on the main songs, but a little bit scratchy on the quiet parts between the songs.  You're not likely to notice it if played on a stereo, but you'll hear it on headphones.

As usual, flac files of wavs.  No cue sheet.  300 dpi scan of the disc labels.

The music?  Oh, yeah, I forgot.  Bouncy 80s synthpop by Vince Clarke (formerly of Yazoo and Depeche Mode) and singer Andy Bell.  Great stuff!  I'm not sure which one of 'em is doing the announcing between the songs, but they remind me of Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element. "Oh, L'Amour" is my favorite track here!

The Rolling Stones The Alternate Tattoo You

*THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER

Ok..Ok looks like I need to clear up some confusion.  Yes I do have a 12 disc set of "Exile On Main Street" however what it's called is "Exile On Main Street 1972-2010 The Mick Taylor Years"  what it consist of is Disc 1 is the Atlantic/Toshiba pressing, Disc 2 is various outtakes, Disc 3 is a live show called "The Great Lost Live Album from the 72-73 tour, Disc 4 is from the L.A Forum June 11th 72 (second show), Disc 5 is from Fort Worth Texas June 24th 72 (second show) Disc 6 is from Norfolk Virginia July 5th 1972.  The other 6 disc's are various Mick Taylor shows with Disc 10 featuring John Mayall. If you go over to the comments at the original "Exile" posting I have left a download of the artwork which probably explains it better than this long and rambling post. I have no problem posting the whole thing if you're interested but I just wanted to let you know it's not every burp, fart, sneeze, snort, toke, choke from the "Exile sessions"  See Scans
