Note: the "Joe" is a cursive script squiggle, also interpreted as Bre, gre, SRE or Joe.

MCR stands for "Master Cutting Room," and the squiggle for Joe Brescio, the mastering engineer. As his first name is "Joe" and last name starts with "Bre" it's possible he intended it to be both.

There is a discussion on Discogs that concludes:

MCR + Bre (looks like gre)

While the cue sheet says "recorded at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan," this is not only not true, it's ridiculous because the stage announcer starts the show by saying, "Washington D.C we thank you very much for waiting, would you welcome please the Rolling Stones."  

But Washington is not where the entire show was recorded, or even where the track after the introduction (Under My Thumb) was recorded.  After an obvious splice where you hear the "Under My Thumb" riff start, stop, and start again...you get Under My Thumb from East Rutherford. 

A full list of the current attributions can be found at the most excellent The Complete Works website at: 

https://www.nzentgraf.de/books/zent.htm

The blog author Nico was instrumental in figuring out the source of all of these tracks and was kind enough to put up with my incessant inquiries about variations in the various versions of Beast of Burden.

I also want to point you in the direction of our Australian pal, AussieRocker, who has coincidentally just posted a similar project exploring the Rolling Stones "Still Life" LP, and the tracks from that tour that turned up on radio broadcasts.  His blog post is at: 
https://rockonvinyl.blogspot.com/2023/02/rolling-stones-still-life-1982-still.html

So....if the tracks are NOT exclusively from Pontiac (as on the cue sheet), or from Washington (as the announcer says), where were they recorded?

The tracks are sourced from 1981 shows at East Rutherford, NJ,  Rosemont, IL ("Chicago"), Hampton, VA,  Pontiac, MI ("Detroit"), Largo, MD ("Washington, D.C."), New Orleans, and Tempe, AZ ("Phoenix"). 

Using The Complete Works website, the 1982 Supergroups show contains the same tracks as the Still Life album, a Still Life B-Side (Beast of Burden), plus the additional tracks Black Limousine, Hang Fire, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Let It Bleed, Miss You, She's So Cold, and You Can't Always Get What You Want.  

The Still Life tracks were edited and overdubbed, and the versions on the 1982 Supergroups shows have the same overdubs and edits.  I came to a similar conclusion as AussieRocker...the radio shows could be renamed Still Life Revamped, Still Life Expanded, Still Life Deluxe, etc.  

My version is a replica of the radio discs, including all commercials, disk jockey chatter, reference tone, etc.

Down in the run out grooves it says:
SGC•12 A  MCR Bre
SGC•12 B  MCR Bre
SGC•12 C  MCR Bre
SGC•12 D  MCR Bre
SGC•12 E  MCR Bre
SGC•12 F  MCR Bre

The Bre is a script character(s) and it's debatable exactly what it is. Various guesses have included "gre," "8e," "Bre" and "Sre."  There is a discussion on Discogs about this signature that comes to the conclusion:

MCR + Bre (looks like gre)
Lacquer Cut At - Master Cutting Room
Lacquer Cut by - Joe Brescio 
So I'm going with "Bre" as it matches the name of the mastering engineer. 

You get: 300 dpi scans of the cue sheets, promo sheet, and all six disc labels.  Plus!  Newspaper pages to help prove the actual dates and locations of the shows.  
-----------------
First of all, let's tackle the Squier show.  This one turns up all over the internet attributed to the Warfield in San Francisco, but with two different dates:  October 10, 1981, and November 22, 1981.  

The October date seems to have the higher number of citations, and it's listed at Setlist.fm...along with the November date.  If we look at the surrounding dates on Setlist.fm, we see
Oct 6 Baton Rouge, LA
Oct 10 San Francisco
Oct 16 Buffalo, NY
...(I'm leaving out dates here....)
Nov 19 San Diego
Nov 20 & 21 Los Angeles
Nov 22 San Francisco
Then no dates until Dec 1, when Squier is touring Europe.

The Oct 10 date is not supported by the geography.  While there's probably dates missing from Setlist.fm, it just looks weird to play in the South on the 10th, on the West Coast four days later, and then in upstate New York in less than a week.  The driving distances are just too far to make sense.  The second set of dates look like a tour winding its way north through California, and ending in San Francisco. The first set of dates looks wrong, the second looks right.

But we need evidence.  So I looked through Newspapers.com, and found a San Francisco Examiner review from Nov. 23, 1983, mentioning the Squire concert that took place "last night...." which is Nov. 22, 1981.  And the concert reviewed was at the Warfield.  I found no reviews or concert ads for a Squier date in October in San Francisco.   We have hard evidence for the Nov. 23 date.

Also...the Squire show is sometimes listed as a Westwood One show.  I was not able to find a verified WW1 set list that matched.  So I think "Westwood One" means "some sort of syndicated FM broadcast in general."  

Orlando-Seminole Jai Alai Fronton

So, on to Triumph.....Our pal Pat St. John turns up once again, and clearly states "Triumph recorded in Orlando and St. Petersburg, Florida."  And the singer says "look out, Orlando" at start of "Allied Forces."

Looks easy to figure out, right?  Well, I still needed the concert dates, and the Internet was no help, so it was back to Newspapers.com.

The Orlando Sentinel of Feb 26, 1982 says Triumph was playing the Orlando-Seminole Jai Alai Fronton "next Wednesday," which was March 3, 1982.
I found nothing for St. Petersburg....but the Tampa Times of Feb. 26, 1982 said Triumph was at the "Tampa Jai Alai March 4."  

Orlando on March 3 and Tampa on March 4...look at a map, that makes geographical sense...and notice that Tampa is across a bay from St. Petersburg. I'll bet this is like the situation here in the Bay Area...confusion for the bands (or announcers).  Bands totter out on stage at the Oakland Coliseum and yell, "it's great to be back in San Francisco!"  Yes, they're only separated by five miles of water but jeez, the name of the venue ought to be a clue.

One more thing.....let's give some credit for the Coke jingles:

Excerpts from the New York Times:

Ginny Redington Dawes, a songwriter whose compositions included memorable advertising jingles like the chipper McDonald’s declaration “You, You’re the One” and Coca-Cola’s boast that “Coke Is It,” died on Dec. 31 (2022) in Manhattan. She was 77.

Ms. Dawes never became well known herself, but she helped maintain or boost the popularity of the products she promoted. And she insinuated infectious tunes into the nation’s repertoire that Americans whistled and hummed as much as the songs played on Top 40 radio.

She hooked listeners with melodically and rhythmically catchy jingles that accompanied slogans for everything from Tide detergent to Kit Kat candy bars, to Johnson’s baby powder and to Hartz’s tick and flea-fighting pet collars.

In 1979, she married a jingle-writing competitor, Thomas W. Dawes, whose credits included Alka-Seltzer’s “Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz” and “7Up, the Uncola.”

They later collaborated on the music for, among other campaigns, American Airlines’ “Something Special in the Air” and the familiar “Coke Is It.” Mr. Dawes died in 2007.

The jingle that underscored Coke’s claim to be “It,” introduced in 1982, was described as a “piece of dynamite” by John F. Bergin, the worldwide director of the Coke account at the McCann-Erickson agency.

While David Ogilvy, a founder of the Ogilvy & Mather agency, was credited with the credo “If you don’t have anything to say, sing it,” Mr. Bergin argued that the musical accompaniment to the Coke commercial was anything but an afterthought. If soda drinkers paused to parse the ambiguity of what 

“It” was, the tune was intended to define the term and embellish it.

“It’s like a football fight song,” Mr. Bergin told The New York Times. “Usually you get a languid ballad. We were looking for a big, bold sound, and a big, bold statement. This isn’t an ipsy-pipsy drink, and the music says that loud and clear.”

The song, composed by Ms. Dawes and arranged by her husband, was one of 18 jingles and 36 proposed slogans presented to Coca-Cola executives to succeed “Have a Coke and a Smile.”
The music and copy were tested separately in consumer focus groups and individual interviews until the agency and company reached a consensus that “Coke is it” was, indeed, it.

She and Mr. Dawes — a founder of the folk-pop group the Cyrkle, best known for its 1966 hit single “Red Rubber Ball,” written by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley of the Seekers — married in 1979 and, merging their talents, formed TwinStar Music to produce jingles

The bit at the end of the matrix number is a script character.  Is it an "8?"  A "S?"  A "B?"
It's been interpreted as all of 'em on Discogs. 

The first thing we've got to deal with is the usual internet confusion over the date of the original Jefferson Starship show.

Setlists.fm says January 13, 1983.
Rocktourdatabase.com says February 19, 1983.

Wolfgang's says May 7, 1983.

We can immediately dispense with the May date, as that's on the cue sheet and is the date of the syndicated broadcast. 

I checked Newspapers.com and found the show was recorded on February 19, 1983.  I've included two reviews of the show from the Province, and a third review from the Vancouver Sun.

Besides being recorded for SuperGroups In Concert, the show was videotaped and released on video in 1984 as "Jefferson Starship: The Definitive Concert." The video does not list "Save Your Love," "I Came Back From The Jaws of the Dragon," and "Can't Find Love," but adds "Stairway to Cleveland".

"Winds Of Change", "Ride The Tiger", "Somebody To Love", "White Rabbit" turn up on a King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast from the week of September 11-17, 1989, as part of a compilation show called "The Airplane Chronicles," along with tracks by Marty Balin (1981), Hot Tuna (1974), and the KBC Band (1986).

For the Missing Persons set, I found a concert listing in the LA Weekly that establishes the date of the show.

You get: 300 dpi scans of the cue sheet, all six disc labels, the three newspaper reviews of the Jefferson Starship show, an interview Kantner did in advance of the concert, and the LA Weekly concert listing.

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!

The Cars - Super Groups In Concert

While this show is common, this is a fresh digitization direct from the LP's done in January 2013.  I declicked the tracks one click at a time in Audacity.  I cleaned the records with Titebond II wood glue, and I managed to pull off almost all of the clicks and pops.

The broadcast date is a mystery to me. There is no broadcast date in the cue sheets.  The Frampton set came with three pages of instructions for the commercials that clearly stated the broadcast date, but there weren't any such sheets included with the Cars Super Groups set I bought on Ebay.  The cue sheets for the Cars do say that specific commercial instructions will be mailed to the radio stations, so it's possible there is a date named on those lost commercial sheets.

Other copies of this on the Internet list the broadcast date as both September 15, 1979, or April 19, 1980.  Both of those dates contradict the two dates I found mentioned in Billboard Magazine (reproduced in full below). The first says October 27 1979 and the next says November 10 1979.  So...at this point, the best I can say is that the broadcast was probably late 1979.   It seems to be one of the more common Super Groups, as there are usually copies available on Ebay.  If it was repeated in April 1980, that might explain why it appears to be the most common of the Super Groups shows.

The second Billboard blurb also claims the show is recorded in "Los Angeles and Boston." This show has, at times, been attributed entirely to Studio City, CA Sept 5, 1979, or the Universal Amphitheater in Universal City, CA.... but I've also seen it claimed that it was from Memphis, TN.  There is no attribution of location in the show itself.  So...I'm leaving the location as an open question.

The first run of the Super Groups concerts came in high quality "boxed set" packaging, with the cue sheets on high quality paper.  The boxes' artwork was a colored background with an even pattern of white dots on the front and back.  The early ones featured a unique color scheme for each artist.  Frampton was black with white dots, the Moody Blues was blue with white dots, Blondie was yellow with white dots, the Cars box was light blue....(I suspect that the Moody Blues in a blue box and Blondie in a yellow box were not color coincidences...).  

Two of the shows (Foreigner, Alice Cooper) had a few songs that were not truly live. They added applause to previously released studio album tracks and added the fake live cuts to an actual live show.

Billboard Sept. 26, 1979:
"ABC's FM Network, which this year unveiled the "Supergroups In Concert" series, will offer four concerts in 1980, plus a select group of concert encores from this year.  The final concert to this year's series on Oct. 27 will feature the Cars, which will probably be carried on more than 300 stations as past concerts have. "

Billboard Oct. 20, 1979:
"The final "Supergroups In Concert" for this year, featuring the Cars, will be carried on more than 400 stations Nov. 10 at 8 p.m.  Chicago air personality Bob Sirott will host this show, recorded at appearances in Boston and Los Angeles.

Dick Foreman, vice president and director of programming for the ABC Radio Networks, promises this show "will be the highlight of the series" that began last May.   

"It captures one of America's best rock groups in its finest performances"

"Supergroups" will continue through the 1980s, he added.""

Kinks Supergroups In Concert

Here's the Kinks Super Groups In Concert that was syndicated in 1982.   Or Supergroups In Concert, as they spell it one way on the cue sheet and another way on the record label.

It's a compilation of two shows.  According to Doug Hinman in "The Kinks - All Day and All of the Night: Day-By-Day Concerts, Recordings and Broadcasts, 1961-1996,"  the "Los Angeles" portion of the show was sourced from Feb. 7, 1977 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.  This was originally taped for a King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast syndicated on April 23, 1977.   Hinman says, "Eight recordings subsequently resyndicated on LP as Supergroups In Concert Aug 7 '82."

The other show ("London")  is most likely the same Hippodrome that's up at W0lfgang's Vault.

That leaves two unidentified tracks.  My guess is they're also from Santa Monica, as they're in the setlist for that date and venue, and I think that Mr. Hinman is wrong about only eight tracks from the '77 show being rebroadcast; the number is probably ten.

Sound quality is fabulous!  I declicked the files one click at a time after cleaning the records with Titebond II wood glue.  Full 300 dpi scans of the cue sheet, promo script, and one of disc labels are included.  All commercials are tracked so they can be dropped by those that don't like them.  The only thing I left off was a test tone, other than that, this is a clone of the discs.
