Rock Around The World ran from August 1, 1974 to Jan 14, 1979, producing 232 shows (according to https://ratw.com/shows/ )  The shows were primarily interviews or artist specials with studio tracks.  They featured a lot of prog-rock groups.. including groups I've never heard of like Rocky's Filj, Syrinx, and Satin Whale.

They also had a small number of concert shows, such as this one.  There's nothing in the documention as to source and date.  At the end of Statesboro Blues, there's a "thank you" that might include the radio station but it's not clear.

As the host was John Brodey, a disc jockey and program director at Boston's WBCN-FM during the 1970s, and the show itself was produced in Boston (1108 Boylston St, Boston 02215), I took a look on the Internet to see if I could find a Steve Hillage or Sea Level show from WBCN, but did not find anything.  Both of them were on tour in the USA in January & February of 1977, so it's likely to be around that time.  


Our friend propylaen2001 pointed out that the song that is listed as "Echo Solo" on the cue sheet is actually "Lunar Musick Suite > Meditation Of The Snake" in an abbreviated version.  I've retagged the file, updated this Text file, and reposted the corrected version.

I want to ask OUR BELOVED AUDIENCE for help in figuring out the title of TRACK 10.  I don't know Sea Level's discography very well, and I can't match the song with a title. I'm asking you to hop in the Mystery Machine and leave a comment with the title below.  If you come up with the title, I'll relabel the track and upload the file again.  Oh, and we'll say THANK YOU right here on Voodoo Wagon to you!

Chuck Leavell joined the Allman Brothers in 1972, when the group moved away from the twin-lead guitar sound in the wake of Duane Allman's death.  He was with them until the band had one of their break-ups in 1976, at which point he went full time with Sea Level. Sea Level's albums mixed long jazz rock instrumentals with shorter funk-rock-pop songs...and never put out a live album.

Hosted by Lesley Palmiter of Boston's WCOZ-FM and brought to you by Heath Candy Bars and
Scotch Recording Tape.  Recorded at the Paradise Theater in Boston.

I also want to ask OUR BELOVED AUDIENCE for help in figuring out the title of TRACK 10.  I don't know Sea Level's discography very well, and I can't match the song with a title. I'm asking you to hop in the Mystery Machine and leave a comment with the title below.

Chuck Leavell went on to play on a dozen or so albums by the Rolling Stones and also win the coveted Georgia Tree Farmer of the Year Award not one but two times.

The vinyl on this was a bit noisy, but I knuckled down and pulled off every click I could find.  Unfortunately there was no cue sheet, but you get a 300 dpi scan of the disc label.


UPDATED as of April 22, 2023.  Cue sheets turned up on Discogs ( “all things come to those who wait”) listing track #10 as "Heart of the Teenage Problem".  Credit to Bob in the comments below!
