Bodeans / Tower Records, Chicago Oct. 11, 1993 - promo CD + broadcast version

Okay, you guys...this is just one more example of how the VW goes the EXTRA MILE.  We're giving you NOT ONLY the relatively easy to find BoDeans promo CD of their "Record Release Party at Tower Records," but also the original FM broadcast of the show, with an additional two songs!

The promo CD is extracted from the original promo CD, and the broadcast version from a first generation tape on a Maxell XL-II high bias tape, so it sounds pretty good.  

You can do an A/B comparison of the two sources!  Wow!  You can ponder why the record company left the two songs off the CD when they easily had the room to include them!  

And...of course I found a "Radio Highlights" listing in the Chicago Tribune for October 11, 1993 that confirms the date and venue are correct!

This is a "PROMO ONLY. NOT FOR SALE" CD that was edited down from a WXRT-FM broadcast.  

The original broadcast had two more songs on it, adding "She's A Runaway" and the big hit "Closer To Free."  

The promo CD had a back cover only, there was no front cover or booklet.  I've included 300 dpi scans of the CD disc, and the back cover.

This tape has a few minor glitches, where the stereo collapsed into mono.  All glitches are less than a second and are mainly noticable when listening with headphones.  The errors are in the original broadcast and are not artifacts of the digitization process.

This is an unknown generation tape.

There's radio static that crops up; it's a flawed tape
but the show is great, so it's worth listening to until
a lower generation shows up.  It's about 90 minutes so you'll
have to split it over two CDs.

RTZ - Bodeans /Westwood One In Concert 92-08

If you like Boston, you'll probably like RTZ, as they sound exactly like them.   That's no surprise considering that they've got two members of Boston in the band.  

The Westwood One announcer on this show, Tawn Mastrey, was a popular American disc jockey who helped break both AC/DC and the Police.  One of the commercial features Carl Ballentine, known for his role as Lester Gruber on McHale's Navy.

As usual, I've tracked all the commercials so you can include them or leave them out, as is your preference.  I've declicked the files, one click at a time in Audacity.
