While the cue sheet says Westwood One Presents, the disc labels are still "Live From Gilley's Pasadena, Texas". Jim Duncan's Intro says he's the "host of Live From Gilley's", but on the show Outro he says it's Westwood One Presents. The name varied like this from 1986 into 1988, when they finally settled down and the disc labels and announcements changed once and for all to Westwood One Presents.  

Lovett did three shows for Westwood One:


LG 87-25
L 88-26 (Roxy, L.A.) two unique tracks (Give Me Back My Heart and An Acceptable Level of Ecstasy)
L 89-26 (Roxy, L.A.) two unique tracks (Here I Am and She's No Lady)

L 88-26 and L 89-26 are sourced from the March 24, 1988 show at the Roxy in West Hollywood. 
Tracks are the same, except for two unique tracks not on the other show.

I already digitized L 89-26 and that's still here in our archives.  I almost got the 87 show on Ebay a few weeks back but I was beaten by a bid of $136.00.  Stick with the Voodoo Wagon and eventually I'll win a copy!

Tracks from this show were bootlegged on Royal Sound Music – RSM 015 SQ "The Lights Of L.A. County" in Germany in 1994.

You get a 300 dpi scan of the cue sheet, both disc labels, and a pdf of a review of the show from the local newspaper.  This version digitized from the original syndicated radio LP in November 2021.

  2. Thanks draftervoi!
    This is great and really good quality. Despite the ads it is worth getting hold of and I have done the usual and shared links across as per. Needed some Lyle Lovett!

  3. You're welcome, Swappers. I struggle with whether to include the commercials or not. In general I like taking the archival approach; it's supposed to duplicate the record itself, not just the concert (which is an edit of a longer show). I make sure to make them easy to drop for the (majority) of people who don't like the ads. Also the "breaks"...although in this particular show, Jim Duncan talks over the band several times, so tracking his comments would have meant dropping the music underneath his talking...so...I left it as is. Where are you sharing the links?

  4. I know what you mean but at least we have the option so no struggle is worth it and I noticed that these are spoken over at the beginning and that's just unfortunate but the quality of the songs and recordings is such that they are worth it and I just delete the ads ( after listening to them ha ha ha) I share links back here and to Floppy Boot over at my little blog that nobody reads!

  5. Ah, yes! I visit your site but didn't connect the screen name! You bring up a bit of a mystery...did Westwood One preserve their live tapes? Is there an archive out there that might one day be released? Most of the King Biscuit material is now up at Concert Vault...not just the original portion broadcast, but (often) the entire show.
