comments:
by this time Greg Kihn was a staple in WBCN airplay, here touring
"kihnspiracy". He may even have the record for most live and recorded
Boston broadcasts on WBCN (78, 79, 83 and 85 that I know of), this is
the only live one I know of. (U-2 only had 3! there was a 4th in 2001
but that was officially released on album/DVD so that doesn't count
for the record, sorry, U-2, it was a nice try to tie Greg Kihn Band,
but not quite successful.)
etree has a hole where 1985 should be for Greg Kihn concerts. Not
a single listing for that year. Well, I know he played at least 1
"kihnspiracy" concert, and here it is. Part of yet another trilogy
torrent post from glasnostrd19. (must be all that ELP and Mahavishnu
music.) the other two are from 84 and 83. there was a KBFH release
from Greg Kihn which might be the Santa Barbara 84 concert but I have
another 84 show to share that's not released and one from Boston 83.
"Kihnsidering" how many hits this group has (Jeopardy, Reunited,
can't stop hurting myself, break up song included here among those)
i'm surprised not to see more Greg Kihn Band up. they're a good
club rock/pop/rock and roll band, been around awhile but haven't
played alot of shows. So where's all the live Greg Kihn?
It's gotta be a Kihnspiracy.
Greg even said so himself in an album title.
Greg wouldn't lie to you.
do not sell this recording.
trade freely and losslessly.
anything else would be Kihntamination
(which is a Federal crime in all 50 U.S.)
