Dave's notes:
Live From The House of Blues Presented By Pontiac Sunfire was a syndicated radio show distributed on two cds, with a concert recorded at a House of Blues club (at the time, in Los Angeles, New Orleans, or Cambridge). The live music was interspersed with national commercials, and the House of Blues was promoted by short comments from patrons. The syndicated radio show premiered on January 27 and appears to have run for about a year.

Also in 1995, 26 live shows were television on TBS (Turner Broadcast System). This Thorogood show was also on television, so there may have been overlap between the television and radio shows.

The shows don't turn up very often, so it's likely the number of stations participating in the syndication was fairly low, compared to shows like King Biscuit Flower Hour.

This show was hosted by Pat St. John...who had previously hosted some of the "SuperGroups In Concert" shows in the early 1980s, and the "Live From Electric Ladyland" shows in the early 1990s.

Thorogood tears through a set of classic blues, and there's a "guest spot" by John Hammond on a cover of John Lee Hooker's "Father Was A Jockey" (mistitled as "Ride Till I Die" on the cue sheet).

I cut out the radio commercials but left in the (very short) promos for the House of Blues, and the disc jockey commentary and introductions. I've included scans of the cue sheets, CD discs, and an ad for the series from Billboard.

Additional notes:
This is different from the radio show from the HoB New Orleans on 17 Feb. 1995 that also has John Hammond as a guest.

As a bonus I have thrown in a Budweiser commercial with George Thorogood that was taken from a Retro Rock radio show with The Police. That radio show cannot be posted here as it contains several officially released material.

Many thanks to Dave for all his efforts and providing this file set through his Voodoo Wagon blog.
