Tomorrow, Today Will Be Yesterday...

This is one of those bands I ran across at my Excellent Used Record Store!
I bought their First LP - Yesterday And Today (Later to be shortened to Y&T)
Just from Lookin' At The Cover!
and their Second Album - Struck Down - Both on London Records!
That First Album was released in 1976, SO, THIS Concert takes place a couple years before... But, Many of these songs would make their first 2 releases.
They Played a lot in the Bay Area in California (Just ask anyone who was around there back then!)
Good Old-Fashioned Rock N Roll!

This is a Great Sounding Soundboard!
Everything is Clear and Balanced - ALL Instruments and Vocals can be Heard - It's NOT too Tin-y Nor Too Bass-y!
You've may have noticed I don't Rate or Rank Bootlegs with Any Kind of Scale - 'Cause, Well, They're ALL Subjective anyway...
What I think is a 9 - You might think is a 7 or 8!
Or, If I call it an "A" You may think it's a "B+" Etc.
That's why I try to Describe the Sound of the Bootleg!

There are some Bootlegs (Radio Broadcasts, Studio Recordings, Etc.) out there that are what I call "Damn Near Perfect!"
But, an Actual Bootleg being Perfect - I believe is "Fool's Gold!"
There's always Something it seems to me, Like the Vocals could be a little Higher or Lower in the mix, a Little Less or More Bass, Etc. Or Whatever!

NOTE: Leonard Haze (R.I.P.) - Drummer is ONLY playing ONE Bass Drum with ONLY his right foot on ONLY ONE Foot Pedal, Even though it may Sound Like a Double Bass Set Up!

Apparently, This show was Filmed and There's a Bootleg DVD out there of it!

ANOTHER NOTE: There is a Hidden Song NOT Listed on the Back Cover: "Road" It follows Game Playing Woman and they transition quickly, So, I didn't wanna make a bad cut there!

The vinyl was in great shape on this one, there were very few clicks or pops.  I went through it several times in Audacity and did my best to remove them.  Flac files of wavs.  

Updated February 2026 with 300 dpi scans of all four disc labels and a low resolution scan of the cue sheet found on the Internet.  The concert dates have been tracked down and added to the text file.

Mama's Boys were unfamiliar to me and a pleasant surprise.  They're 80's melodic metal
and show their Irish roots by tossing a fiddle in on one song. 

Y & T is introduced by famous San Francisco Bay Area rock promoter Bill Graham.
The venue ("San Francisco Civic Auditorium") was renamed the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
after his untimely death in 1992.  I tracked down an ad for the show and note they played both the San Francisco Civic (8,500 seats) and the San Jose Civic (3,000 seats) on consecutive nights, in spite of the venues being just 50 miles apart from each other.

George Taylor Morris was the deejay who helped promote the "listen to Pink Floyd's
Dark Side Of The Moon while watching "The Wizard Of Oz."  In 1981 he became the entertainment director for NBC's The Source, a rival syndicated radio show, so I'm not sure what's he's doing here.  Maybe he was between gigs?  

The commercials:

Starburst track 12 is an imitation of Cyndi Lauper's musical style, with a burbling, percolating synthesizer line reminiscent of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," and continue the imitation with the singer's speaking in a thick Queens accent.

I originally thought one of the Budweiser ads was Dexy's Midnight Runners, but it turned out to be Oingo Boingo. 

Also featured:  Promo spots by Daryl Hall, Meatloaf, and Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet.

Salinas is about 100 miles south of San Francisco and Oakland, just outside the nine counties of the Bay Area.  Most rock tours skipped over Salinas, sticking to the larger population centers to the north.

There's a version of this same show over at the Soundaboard blog that list a recording date of October 1, 1983.
