Originally digitized in 2013.  This version was declicked a second time in December 2021, the files were retagged, and liner notes updated.  As of August 2023, I added the cue sheets to the download.

The broadcast date printed on the KBFH syndicated discs says April 5, 1981.  This date often shows on the Internet as the date of the concert, but I think that's in error.  Wolfgang's Vault has the show up with the April date, which perpetuates the mistake.  KBFH records the shows well in advance of the broadcast date.  KBFH did not record the show, press up the records, and distribute them to hundreds of radio stations on the same day as the show.

Setlists.com also lists the April 5 date, but there are no other concerts near it, except for an appearance at the Bammies (Bay Area Music Awards).  Boz was not on tour in 1980, and it's not likely he would have done a single stand-alone show in New York City just for this broadcast.

The show was recorded on November 26, 1980.  I've included a ticket stub from the November show, plus a newspaper listing.

The streaming audio version does NOT include "Middle Man," which was on the original broadcast discs.

I cleaned the discs with Titebond II wood glue and then went through it on Audacity and declicked the show. I went through the files a second time in December 2021 and did some more clean-up.  The sound quality is top-notch, the drums really snap, the two background vocalists are well-defined.

I've tracked all the commercials and KBFH breaks so they can be left out if they're of no interest. 

There's one "star turn" where Dave Mason does a pretty heartwarming commercial for Miller Beer that may be of interest to Dave Mason completists. He really "sells" the commercial.

Flac files of wavs; unfortunately, there was no cue sheet.  I've included a 300 dpi scan of the disc label and a copy of a ticket to the November show.
