First of all, for MYSTERY FANS, I have found
a clue in the run-out grooves: a numerical code etched into the vinyl that gives us a show number. There's enough references on Discogs to conclude that Supergroups started numbering their albums with this code in 1981; prior shows are not numbered in the same manner. Supergroups wanders back n' forth between "SG" and "SGC," but they're all part of the same numbering scheme. Hey, they never figured out if "Super Groups" was one word, or two, so we shouldn't expect consistency.
I did some research to on possible venues and dates. At the time, Loverboy was touring their second album with a limited repertoire, so set lists are similar for the entire tour.
The announcer, Pat St. John, says "...Supergroups was there when Loverboy played to sold-out arenas in Kalamazoo Michigan, Oxford Ohio, and Dallas Texas." (The cue sheet doesn't mention Dallas). The "Concert Vault" website has two Loverboy shows: Dallas November 18, 1981 and Columbus, OH April 24, 1982. The Dallas show at Concert Vault is likely the same show used for portions of Supergroups. The Columbus Ohio show matched the state, and I thought Oxford might be a suburb of Columbus...but it's 117 miles between them, so that was a dead end. However, the Setlist Wiki website lists a show for Millet Hall, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, on April 24, 1982. Bingo! We have a match! And they also have a show listed for April 25, 1982 show at Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo, MI., so those are the most likely dates and venues.
You'll notice that the two Ohio shows are on the same day...so one of 'em is wrong. My bet is that Concert Vault has it wrong.
I wasn't a Loverboy fan; they were too "arena rock" for my taste at the time, which was more punk and New Wave. I enjoyed giving this a listen; several of the songs are now Classic Rock staples; I've made my peace with "Working For The Weekend."
This version digitized 2017 from the 3-lp set. I spent several weeks cleaning up clicks, ticks, and pops, trying to get to this to sound as close to mint as possible. FLAC files of wavs, and includes 300 dpi scans of the cue sheets and a disc label.
And let's have a round of applause for Pat St. John!
