Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

This was an FM broadcast of THE NIGHTHAWKS opening for CHICKEN LEGS, which
was a short-lived band with most of the members of LITTLE FEAT. There were shows
at the "Warner Theater" on November 17 & 18, 1980. The consensus seems to be that
the broadcast dates from the 18th, but it could be the other night, or a "best of" both
nights. I'm not expert enough to make a definitive statement on that. I've checked THE
NIGHTHAWKS website, and can find no indication of any official release of this material.
This is the band around their major label time on the Mercury label. Nice sound. Enjoy!
