A wonderful tape from the Sam Elliot's Mustache collection! This is our second Beru Review tape here on the V-Wagon.
The first thing I want to note isn't the music, but the commercials. It's unusual for a commercial break to be present in a live broadcast. Bands don't enter and exit the stage in fixed 30 or 60 second increments. You get a lot of commercials on the syndicated shows... or the "in studio shows," but these "live from a local nightclub" broadcasts don't usually have a commercial break.
In this show, they squeeze in a commercial before the encore, and then a pair of ads before the "outro." The odd thing about the first commercial is that it's for a DIFFERENT nightclub than the broadcast. Usually advertisers don't want their competition mentioned when they sponsor an event. It is for a Beru Review concert, so maybe that accounts for overriding the prohibition of competitive placement.
The other is that this is a great show from three years earlier than our other Beru Review broadcast.
There's a Beru Review "sharing" website at http://berurevueshare.com/ and this show doesn't appear to be available for download.
The date of the show is confirmed by the newspaper listing in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
