Captured Live! syndicated radio show CL 3384
Broadcast week of 9/10/1984
NOW WITH LINKS SMALLER THAN 80MB!
Hey, Voodoo Wagon gang, I had a comment from our friend Anonymous, who was kind enough to let me know that he (or she) had problems downloading files on MEGA that were larger than 80MB. So...is this a problem for anyone else?
I have broken the files for this show into 75MB files to help him (or her) download the files....I'll also do the same for the other First Airborne Rock and Roll Division show (listed below).
And I'll also give you a TEASER of a future post!
I've found the COMPLETE BROADCAST of this Captured Live!, which was originally spread over two weeks back in 1984! Now...I have to WORK on these two shows, removing clicks and pops, but VERY SOON we'll have the complete broadcast of this super-group!

UPDATED NOTES AS OF NOVEMBER 1, 2018:
Recording date is likely April 6, 7, or 8th, 1984 as I've found a copy of a local base newspaper, the "Hawaii Marine" dated April 4, 1984 that mentions that "a carnival featuring rides,
food, refreshments and the rock band "The First Airborne
Rock and Roll Division" should liven Fort DeRussy this weekend."
From what I've discovered, the First Airborne Rock and Roll Division played for three nights at Fort DeRussy Military Reservation,
which would be April 6, 7, or 8th, 1984. It's possible the show
is from any (or several) of those dates.
A copy of that newspaper page has been added to the file. Note that several online sources list this show as "March 1984."
The band members of the First Airborne Rock and Roll Division on the 1984 tour were:
Cheap Trick:
Rick Neilson
Robin Zander
Bun E. Carlos
Kansas:
Phil Ehart
John Elefante
Richard Williams
Le Roux:
Leon Medica
Pablo Cruise:
David Jenkins
Cory Lerios
John Pierce
Doobie Brothers:
Patrick Simmons
(This set list is not the same as the one listed below...but any duplicated song titles are the same versions...Also, the post immediately below this one is the SAME SHOW I posted in 2015, but updated with better file tagging, and with the new information I've learned about the show since 2015. This "greatest hits" show adds tracks by the Kansas and Pablo Cruise band members, but leaves out some of the Cheap Trick songs. Eventually, I shall track down the original broadcast LPs of the original two part show, and combine all of this into a First Airborne Rock and Roll Division mega-post. Stay tuned, Voodoo Wagon Beloved Audience!
And really, Jobe...check out the David Faux-ie track. It's so awful that it's wonderful. :)

Captured Live! produced radio shows starting in March 1982 to December 1984 for affiliated stations on the RKO Radio Network. Distribution was usually on two or three LP sets, and Captured Live! produced hosted and unhosted versions. A script was included for the stations that chose to use the unhosted version. Over the years the full sets with both hosted/unhosted versions have often been split apart and sold as separate items.
As of June 18, 1984, the show changed to "hosted only," all shows after that date should not have an "unhosted" version.
I've also seen Captured Live! reel-to-reel tapes for sale, and they don't seem to have a corresponding LP version.
Most of the shows were broadcasts of current live concerts recorded for Captured Live!, but there was a Fleetwood Mac show consisting of their 1974 KSAN-FM studio broadcast from the Record Plant.
The show numbering scheme took the number of the show in sequence plus the last two digits of the year: the first show of 1983 was 183, the second show was 283, etc.
The First Airborne Rock And Roll Division band came from an idea by Phil Ehart of Kansas for a series of USO (United Service Organizations Inc.) shows for U.S. military servicemen. The version of the band touring in the SPRING of 1984 included members of Kansas, Cheap Trick, Pablo Cruise, Doobie Brothers and LeRoux. They played shows at bases in Hawaii, Okinawa, Japan, the Philipines, Diego Garcia, Germany, and also did shows on aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean. Ehart put together different groups of stars for First Airborne USO tours in 1985 and 1986.
Captured Live! did a two part broadcast of the First Airborne Rock And Roll Division's appearance at Fort DeRussy Military Reservation in Honolulu, Hawaii. The first syndicated broadcast date was on June 4, 1984 (show CL-1984, hosted and unhosted versions), and featured the Kansas/Pablo Cruise songs. The second broadcast was June 11, 1984 (show CL-2084, hosted and unhosted versions) had the Patrick Simmons/Cheap Trick songs. I've seen circulating versions of the show that attribute the syndicated date of the shows as the actual date of the concert, which I now think was in April of 1984. There was also a "greatest hits" version of the show issued as Captured Live! CL-3384 (broadcast date of September 10, 1984) that featured songs from both shows. This should be a "hosted" version only.
This version is digitized from the LPs of the HOSTED rebroadcast of the show on September 10, 1984 (I do not think there was an "unhosted version" as this is after the date Captured Live! switched to only hosted versions of their shows)
I've included a 300 dpi copy of the cue sheet, and a disc label, and a few news articles I found on the internet.
Oh...and JOBE! You simply MUST check out the David Faux-ie commercial!!!
Eddie & the Hot Rods were on the cusp of Punk Rock, there at the very start, but were essentially a Pub Rock band playing high-energy blues-based rock & roll. They were unfairly left behind as the times moved on, and bands like the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Jam took the center-stage in the eyes of the British musical press.
The Fools were a solid New Wave band, but were undermined by the "novelty record" aspect of their comic cover of the Talking Heads "Psycho Killer," reimagined as a song about fast-food chicken meals. Their parody cover is fun but silly...and after you record a song that's on the Doctor Demento radio show, you're pigeon-holed as a novelty act. They soldiered on, and are still performing today, however.
