Venues are from the cue sheet. 

I did not find anything on newspapers.com for the Pablo Cruise show, although they were playing at other locations in Virginia during November 1977. The night before this show they played in Roanoke on the 13th, 260 miles to the west, and five days later on the 19th they played in Richmond, 115 miles away, so they were in the area. Moshpit.com has the date as the 14th, and adds that the venue was the Virginia Beach Dome, and that Pablo Cruise was the opening act for the Doobie Brothers. The date and venue are likely, but not confirmed.

The cue sheet has the Thin Lizzy Tower Theater concert taking place on October 22, 1978... however, the print ad shows the 22nd was Gato Barbieri, and Thin Lizzy played on October 20 and 21, NOT on October 22nd.  Moshpit has the date and venue as the Tower on the 20th, so the 20th is the likely date.

You get 300 dpi scans of all four disc labels and the cue sheet!  Hurrah!

Actual teenage slang
from the 1970s.

Two solid sets from two great bands from Ireland and England.  Thin Lizzy's from Dublin and Def Leppard hails from Sheffield.

Thin Lizzy is apparently sourced from two different concerts.  BBC Transcription 274 has Renegade, Hollywood, Killer On The Loose, The Boys Are Back In Town, and Baby Drives Me Crazy on it, supposedly sourced from Hammersmith on Nov. 25, 1981. Some resources on the Internet say the tracks are Nov. 26.  Either way, that leaves the other four tracks as likely from 1983.  

The Def Leppard is early in their career.  Their first gig was the prior summer of 1978.  The earliest newspaper reference I found on Newspapers.com was on July 6, 1979, just a few weeks before this show.

On the commercials:

I need your help.  The blues-rock "Bud Man Boogie" commercial sounds familiar but I can't place the band or the singer.  Come on, one of Our Beloved Audience must have some idea of who these jaspers are or perhaps can make a suggestion. Any ideas?

Three ads about your breath: Dentyne, Doublemint, and Listerine.  Proper dental hygiene is important! If you haven't flossed today, please do so.

Bad Dreams was a 1988 American supernatural mystery slasher film co-written and directed by Andrew Fleming and starring Jennifer Rubin, Bruce Abbott, E. G. Daily, Dean Cameron, Harris Yulin and Richard Lynch.  I've never seen it.  Does anyone in Our Beloved Voodoo Wagon audience remember it?

Thanks to the ears of Anonymous, we think we've solved the mystery of who sings "the Bud Man Boogie!  We are sure it's JOHNNY WINTER.

A STRANGE KIND OF MAGIC CALL IT VOODOO

Thin Lizzy - Live In Rock City Detroit '76 @224kbps

Earlier this week, it was our annual VodooBoot convention. The Boss gave us the lowdown on the state of affairs here and our tasks for the next few months. Well, once again it seems The Boss and Draftervoi got the topless beach assignment in Rio (that's where most of the pictures of the lovely ladies that grace our pages here come from.)  I got the letters assignment (again.) So with that in mind I'd better get started on what I'm supposed to be doing...

Letters, boy do we get letters. So let me just pull the first one out here, OK, it's from a Secretia Mc Evil from Blicksville Texas. Secretia writes "Um turd of libing in dis singa wide trailer I want to be famously cun you help?" Well Secretia, yes I can, in this day and age it's really simple let me guide you. First (and THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT) make sure you have no talent. Next, get your teeth fixed and your tits enlarged. Now lock yourself inside your trailer for the next 30 days and watch nothing but, Entertainment Tonight, American Idol, America's Got Talent, America's Got Herpes. Memorize these shows verbatim. Now after you have done these steps you MUST go to either Frederick's Of Hollywood or Victoria's Secret and buy the most reveling costume, without exposing your nipples or pubes (might I suggest you use BEN-DE-Ho'S house of Body Sculpting and Wax that's what I use) get the highest pumps you can walk in and get you a shih tzu named Pico a diamond studded collar and leash (for the dog and yourself) and proceed to walk down Hollywood Boulevard in this costume. Next, when the paparazzi start to follow you around (don't worry, in this get-up they'll THINK your somebody famous) let them take your picture, and ask you for quotes, SAY NOTHING. This will in turn, get you on numerous tabloid talk shows and magazines. Now, wait for Tommy Mottola to propose a multi-album deal, and marriage. Go into the recording studio and cut an album of songs using one of the hottest songwriters around, might I suggest you use Dr. Seuss. Record a song and nine others that sound EXACTLY alike (THIS IS IMPERATIVE) Next, the week-end before your wedding to Mr. Mottola, go to Las Vegas. While there, hook up with Chris Brown and get hammered. Get into an elevator and have sex with him, this in turn will get us the sex tape you will need, after you're done having sex, let him proceed to beat the shit out of you, this in turn will give us the victim tape you will need.

There you have it, you'll be famous in no time. The one thing I did forget to mention though is that you have to repeat this cycle step by step every ninety days. Oh shit the Boss's plane will be here in an hour and I've got to get to the airport. See Scans

NO ONE WAS REALLY SATISFIED ABOUT NUMBER EIGHTY ONE   

THIS IS A ZIPPY LINK

Thin Lizzy / RAI Congresgebouw, Amsterdam, NL, Dec. 17, 1976 Audience Tape

Thin Lizzy
RAI Congresgebouw
Amsterdam, NL
October 17, 1976

01. Jailbreak
02. Emerald
03. Still In Love With You
04. The Boys Are Back In Town
05. Rosalie
06. Sha La La
07. Baby Drives Me Crazy
08. Me And The Boys

This is an audience tape recorded by Hans DeVente.  We had a request for it a few weeks back, and we aim to please... so here it is!

The left channel had some clipping, so I ran Audacity's ClipFix on that channel.  I evened out the volume between the tracks, and chaptered it. Other than that...it's what you would expect from an audience tape... listenable, and of interest if you're a fan.

While the tape case looks like this is 17.12.76, a sharp-eyed reader has let me know that the date is actually October 17, 1976.
