comments:
recorded during the 1983 "Kihnspiracy" tour.
one of a few radio shows broadcasted in Boston that I recorded of these
guys. Most Greg Kihn I've heard is quite poppy music, maybe even enough to
pop popcorn. much of this is too, I wasn't able to find out much info at all
about where/when the 2 live Greg Kihn Band albums listed were recorded, but
one was apparently not this tour, and the other I know of after checking
a few web sources for his music, (one of them Kihn's own website) is a King
Biscuit Flower Hour release. All of those are KBFH shows which is completely
unrelated to BBC Rock Hour shows (and they never play or record each other's
productions.) So I'm not absolutely certain, since I don't have either of the
official live releases, but fairly confident that there isn't any released
material in here. Greg Kihn did do a KBFH show from Santa Barbara, Ca. in 1984,
which is a likely bet for being the officially released concert. Some of the
less familiar to me GKB hits in here along with a couple of the biggest ones.
Still fairly early Greg, but already his 3rd recorded WBCN broadcast in Boston.
Hall and Oates did one recorded and 2 live from 79-81, that's the only
other band besides U-2 to get that many for a rock band). Boston had a
rather serious hanKihning for Greg Kihn. So if you do too, I got the cure for you.
the setlist wasn't quite complete in 1st posting, it is this time.
