April 1985

BROADCAST ON WLLZ, DETROIT

FM>CASSETTE (UNKNOWN LINEAGE)>STAND ALONE CD BURNER>WAV>FLAC

ALL ARTISTS PERFORM WITH THE "WHEELS GUITAR ARMY" AN ALL-STAR BAND OF DETROIT BAR BAND MUSICIANS, EXCEPT MITCH RYDER WHO PLAYS WITH THE DETROIT WHEELS (JIM MCCARTY, JOHNNY BADANJEK, ROBERT GILLESPIE, MARK GOUGEON, BILLY CSERNITS). LONGTIME DETROIT DJ, DOUG PODELL IS THE HOST OF THE SHOW. THIS IS AN AMAZING NIGHT OF MUSIC. IT'S GOOD SOUNDING FM, BUT WITH TAPE HISS/NOISE IN EVIDENCE. IT DOESN'T KEEP IT FROM BEING REALLY ENJOYABLE, AND AS MC PODELL EMPHATICALLY SAYS: "YOU DON'T GET THIS EVERY DAY!!" THIS IS THE WHOLE SHOW EXCEPT THERE WAS A RANDY CALIFORNIA SEGMENT THAT I NEVER GOT, AND ANOTHER SONG BY CHARLIE ALLEN MARTIN, WHOSE ONE SONG IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE NIGHT IMHO. THE MISSING SONG, "I'M DOWN" FADED ABOUT 10 SECONDS IN ON MY TAPE SO I JUST LEFT IT OFF HERE SO AS NOT TO BUM YOU OUT. CHARLIE ALSO DID A STAGE-DIVING SOMERSAULT OUT OF HIS WHEELCHAIR, WHICH PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE STILL TALK ABOUT. ANYONE WHO HAS AN UPGRADE - BRING IT ON!
