The script says "recorded live at Nichols Arena in Denver Colorado, in May 1981."

Wiki says:
"McNichols Sports Arena was an indoor arena located in Denver, Colorado, United States. Located adjacent to Mile High Stadium and completed in 1975, at a cost of $16 million, it seated 16,061 for hockey games and 17,171 for basketball games.

It was named after Denver mayor William H. McNichols Jr., who served from 1968 to 1983."

It was demolished in 1999, just 24 years after it was built.

We've got a newspaper clipping that confirms the date and venue.

We're missing the cue and disc scans but once again, Discogs has provided some replacements.  They're not up to my 300 dpi standards but it's better than nothing.

I've included a bit of press coverage.  Yes, back in the olden days we read things written by humans instead of generated by computers.

I was unfamiliar with both of these bands but enjoyed giving them a spin on the old Victrola.

We've got 300 dpi scans of the disc labels but are missing the cue sheet and affidavit.  I included print ads for the show, and a review of the concert from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  The headline was "Hagar Outdoes Himself In Spectacular Show."

The show was filmed for later broadcast by MTV.

....and that, for now, wraps up our review of the NBC The Source shows.  We've tracked down and digitized 64 concert shows, and packed as much exciting documentation into each one that we could find.  We think there are about thirty five more concerts out there, but at least two of those were officially released, and another eight are repeats of other shows.  That knocks it down to twenty-five on our "high priority" BOLO.

Our next project is to tackle the Super Groups In Concert shows and
see if we can get a list of all the shows issued on vinyl, but also try and track down the shows that were only distributed by satellite broadcast.

While host Rona Elliot does not mention a date, I was able to work my way back in time through the Boston Globe, and found the most recent appearance by the Jon Butcher Axis at the Channel was February 25, 1984. I tossed in a couple of articles just for the heck of it.

On the advertising front, we've got Rick Mears for Pennzoil.  Wiki says, "He is one of four men to win the Indianapolis 500 four times (1979, 1984, 1988, 1991) and is the current record-holder for pole positions in the race with six (1979, 1982, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991). Mears is also a three-time Indycar series/World Series champion (1979, 1981 and 1982)."

Both nights were taped for an HBO program, with Saturday night being the night of the taping for the broadcast...so it's likely this is October 8 (Saturday).  I found an ad for the simulcast, which took place in March.

The Berkeley Gazette wrote, "While at first I thought Colin Hay kept erring in his references to the locale as "San Francisco," it later became clear he was only goading the audience into extracting an apology from him as a cute introduction for "It's A Mistake.  The joke seemed lost on the crowd."

I'll add that the "Thank you very much, San Francisco" might be mildly annoying in the East Bay, but there's not a huge rivalry across the Bay. Yes, professional sports means people lined up behind San Francisco's Giants and 49ers or Oakland's A's and Raiders, but this was in Berkeley.  The UC Berkeley campus is across the street from the Greek Theatre, and the students come from all over the world.

And from the East Bay perspective of 2025, if we really cared the A's wouldn't be in Sacramento, the Raiders in Las Vegas, and the Warriors in San Francisco.

"It's A Mistake" is not on the cue sheet and contains (or is followed by) a drum solo.

Paul Hogan's "G'day" commercials came out in 1984, so it was a high-profile year for Australia here in America.

Opening act was Mental As Anything (also from Australia)

At one point Colin Hay mentions Diana Ross, who was playing in Oakland a week later.

We continue with our exhaustive documentation of the NBC The Source shows.  We're up to 55 shows now, with more to come!

In researching this release, I found there is also Paul Young – In Concert-324, BBC Transcription Services – CN 4334/S

Discogs says this was recorded Dec. 24, 1983, the same as NBC The Source NBC 84-17, but with a different set list.

The BBC show has three unique songs:


I Close My Eyes (And Count To Ten)
Love Of The Common People
Oh Women

The NBC Source show has two unique songs:
Ku Ku Karama
Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)

Setlist.fm has an entry for Dec. 22 and 23, 1983, but no set list for Dec. 24.  There are newspaper listings that confirm a December 24 broadcast at 10:00 PM on the Old Grey Whistle test as a simultaneous broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and BBC-2, so there was definitely a show on the 24th.

UB40 was at the Ritz on July 7 and July 8, 1983.  I'm not sure from which date this was sourced.

Announcer John McGhan does not say where this was recorded.  There are two versions up on Discogs, one attributing it the Orpheum, Boston May 7, 1981 and the second to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, NY, USA on May 2, 1981.

So, which is it?

The Wiki for the live "Finyl Vinyl" album mentions "The song "Can't Happen Here" has wrong location and date in the booklet. It was actually recorded at "The Orpheum Theatre" in Boston, MA, USA on May 7, 1981."  

I checked the album cover, and it attributes "Can't Happen Here" to Uniondale 1981.  I compared the songs, and yes, they're the same recording.  This explains the sour
ce of the two divergent attributions on Discogs.

If the Wiki is correct, this is Boston, not Uniondale.  

There are several bootleg version of the Boston show, and an official release in 2016 as "Boston 1981."  That's still in print. As there's an official release, that settles it, this is the Orpheum, Boston, May 7, 1981.

Obviously, if you like this, go buy the official version.  The vinyl on this was in decent shape, but four or five minutes of side two were a bit worn on "Catch The Rainbow" so there's a touch of surface noise.

You get the affidavit!  Scans of all six disc labels!  The cue sheet!

There's a vintage concert review, and a story about the band and tour.  The set list is split between the 60's/early 70's hits and the early 80's revived band's songs.

As is often the case, the smaller municipality where the concert actually took place is subsumed in the larger city's name. 

On the advertising front, we get the husband-and-wife comedy duo of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, doing ads for Blue Nun Wine. 

From Wikipedia:
During the 1970s in the U.S., a series of radio adverts promoting the wine were produced, featuring Stiller and Meara. Their ads were so effective, they boosted sales by 500%.

https://mega.nz/file/yUZVQTwT#1ECsAdAzwYyNeeghMb4U1xp6KrurPymzVo4fNvGIVWk

On The Beatles song "Long, Long, Long" off the White Album, rattling noises by a Blue Nun wine bottle are heard as a result of a bottle's resting on top of a Leslie speaker, which began to vibrate when Paul McCartney played a certain note on the Hammond organ. It is accompanied by a Ringo Starr drum roll.

Steve Jones, guitarist of the Sex Pistols, stated in his autobiography Lonely Boy that he drank at least two whole bottles of Blue Nun before the band's infamous Thames Television interview with host Bill Grundy dated 1 December 1976.

In Sinking Island, there's a BLEEEEP censor, followed by a backmasked censorship of the word "assholes"

Which is weird....why use two different ways of censorship within the same five seconds?

Well, this is a rebroadcast of an earlier Source show.

On the original broadcast, they used the BLEEP on one offending word, but left "assholes" in the broadcast.  When they prepared the show for a second broadcast, they reversed it the word, giving us two different censoring techniques on a single line of the song.

The other odd thing about this is the disc label and cue sheet list the broadcast dates as March 30, 31, April 1, 1984. There is no March 31 on the calendar.  As the show was subtitled "April Fixx Day," could it be they did that on purpose, as an April Fool's joke?   Or was it just a mistake?

This second broadcast added a studio version of "Deeper and Deeper" to promote the single that wasn't on the prior broadcast.

We've got 300 dpi scans of all four disc labels and the cue sheet, and I've added some press coverage about the gig and the band to keep you reading writing by humans instead of AI generated junk-commentary.

The Stray Cats had three shows on NBC's The Source:
NBC 82-43 Stray Cats Concert December 10-11-12, 1982 
NBC 83-10 Stray Cats Concert March 11-12-13, 1983 
NBC 83-48 Stray Cats Profile/Concert December 2-3-4, 1983

82-43 and 83-10 are sourced from the Ritz, New York City, NY November 28, 1982 and have identical set lists, but different commercials.

We've already posted the 83-10 version of these tracks. The songs here are the same, the announcements and commercials are different.  The vinyl on this has some minor surface noise during the quiet portions but no issues once the band gets rock n' rolling.

I don't know the source of the live tracks on 83-48 but it contains at least two live tracks not sourced from the Ritz ("Hot Rod Mama" "Sexy and 17"), so it's likely they're from another concert.

This was part of a Christmas countdown run of shows, where the Source ran several shows a week in 1982 (they repeated the Christmas countdown in 1983, too).  As an added bonus, they brought in the vocal talents of Don Pardo as the second announcer.

OH HECK I FORGOT TO MENTION...BUCK DHARMA GUESTS ON "SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE!"

Our pal Sam shipped the discs out to me, and I ending up digitizing it twice. It took a fair amount of work to bash into shape, but the end result is much better than the record.  There were lots of sections where I had to work through little bits of static.

The concert was a benefit dubbed "The Steelworkers Ball," a benefit for unemployed steel workers sponsored by WIYY-FM and Miller Beer (through their local distributor Bond Distributing Company).

I've included 300 dpi scans of the cue sheet and all four disc labels.  I want to point out the cue sheet lists a "Side 5." There was no third disc, the entire show was on two discs.  I found some press coverage of the show and it's in the Artwork folder.

This was a repeat of the first broadcast of this show, which was originally on NBC The Source NBC 83-37, broadcast July 8, 9, 10, 1983.  This original broadcast featured custom disc labels and a printed cover, all of which carried the image of the child on the album cover. This later rebroadcast did not come with the fancy packaging.

There is an unusual 3 minute and 21 second section before the encore of audience clapping, hooting, screaming, and whistling until the band starts the final song.  That's not unusual on an actual live broadcast; the radio station has no control over the length of the encore break. On an edited show for syndication, they usually tighten it up and cut right to the final number.  It's even more unusual that this was repeated on the second syndication.

Flac files of wavs!  You get 300 dpi scans of all four disc labels!  And the cue sheet!  Yes!  The cue sheet is included! But wait...there's more!  There's ads for the show!

Brought to you by the Collective of Live Music!

This one took a bit of work.  I had my vinyl copy, and a copy of Sam Eliot's Mustache's rip he did a few years ago.  Our copies are not from the same source, but at EXACTLY the same spot in "Do You Believe In Love" there was some weird jump in the music.  Closer inspection revealed it wasn't a skip but as if a tiny fraction of a second was repeated with a jump over a blank spot. Most likely was a pressing defect.  Editing reduced it, if you want to check it's at 2 minutes and 4 seconds into the song. I blended both sides of the jump together to make it less jarring.

Anyway...this one is from my copy, which was marginally better than Sam's copy. 

It's a great show, a show like this is why these guys took over the charts.  Great harmony vocals, the band is tight, and they toss in a few covers to show they know their musical history.  I  note that Los Lobos also covers the Hollywood Flames "Buzz Buzz Buzz."

There is a question about the date...note that the first ad says Lewis was scheduled for November 3rd, 7:30 PM...but the next two ads change it to November 9th, at 8 PM.  The generally accepted date of this show is the 9th, but you know me...I want to document doubt about facts, too. So there's an unexplained date issue here.

Also, if any of you guys know the band on the first Budweiser ad, let me know.  It's SOMEBODY...that "bud bud bud bud" refrain is familiar, but I haven't been able to place it yet.  :(

We talked a bit about on another post...this is another concert where the club asked for a "two drink minimum."  One of our British brethren mentioned this wasn't a custom with which he was familiar.  I ask the assistance of our antipodean acquaintances from Australia and New Zealand...is asking the club-goer to buy two drinks from the bar a policy there, too?  Or is this just a North American practice?

This was in keeping with Mr. Kihn's pun-filled album titles.  He released ten albums between 1976 and 1985, and six of them had titles with a pun based on his name.  This trend continued with the release of his first greatest hits compilation ("Kihnsolidation: The Best Of Greg Kihn") in 1989, his live album in 1991 ("Unkihntrollable"), plus "Kihn of Hearts" in 1992, "True Kihnfessions" in 2000, and "Rekihndled" in 2017.

I think Kihn missed a trick; back in the early 80s I made a Kihn "best of" for a friend entitled, "FucKihn' Great: The Best of Greg Kihn."

Here in the East Bay, Kihn did a short stint behind  the counter at Berkeley's Rather Ripped Records. Kihn has the sensibilities of a record store clerk; he's not only a musician, he's a fan of music in general.

This sensibility shows up in his choice of covers.  Kihn covers "Paint It Black," "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," "I Fall To Pieces," "Train Kept A-Rollin'," "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me), "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love," and "The Kids Are Alright."  While the sources of half of these are R&B artists like Nat "King" Cole, Tiny Bradshaw, Solomon Burke, and the Temptations, most of them came to Kihn through the British Invasion, in particular in covers by the Rolling Stones. The most interesting cover to me is Patsy Cline's "I Fall To Pieces;" not an obvious choice for a rock and roller.

This is one of the longest Kihn concerts available. It's also noteworthy that Kihn does not appear to have been bootlegged.  I don't recall ever seeing a vinyl boot of a Kihn show, and there doesn't appear to be any 1990s silver bootlegs issued by the copyright-gap European bootleggers.  Why is a a bit of a mystery...Kihn's shows often feature interesting covers and medleys.  He doesn't just trot out the same set the same way, over and over, and he certainly did a lot of radio shows, so the source material was there.  But no one bootlegged him.

Too Bad is unreleased...but also turns up on the Westwood One Concerts & Specials PC-83-15 which you can find at The New JDP  http://thenewjdp.blogspot.com/, run by our friend and associate JustDave!

The print ad in Radio and Records says "An encore presentation of this spellbinding live concert. Broadcast via satellite from New York's Radio City Music Hall, May 26, 1983. Produced exclusively for The Source by Starfleet Blair Inc. Mixed by Rhett Davies and Effanel Music. If you missed the show the first time, you won't want to miss it again."

This may have had a custom cover on a box...at least there is one pictured on the Discogs listing.  I've included some press coverage, although most it is the same article chopped up and repeated over a few days.

This is from the syndicated re-broadcast of the show, not from the original satellite broadcast.  This was a good concert and was bootlegged by the Swinging Pig as "Out of the Blue."

Roxy Music never broke through in America. This period saw AVALON hit #53 on the Billboard album charts at the same time it was #1 in the U.K., Australia, and half a dozen European countries.
