The Real Kids
opening for The Troggs
live at Cantone's
Boston, Massachusetts
November 22, 1978
FM mono live broadcast [possibly missing one song*]
on WTBS-FM
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Cambridge, Massachusetts USA


October 2014 reseed; original 2008 FLAC files are unchanged

Original notes:


This was a short set by an angry Real Kids, who were in a dispute with the club owners at the time. Not great sounding but the band's foul mood is pretty clear.

The personnel should be:

John Felice, vocals and guitar
Alpo [Alan Paulino]: bass
Howard Ferguson: drums


Billy Borglioli: guitar (?)
According to a note [which I wrote but no longer remember why]
on the cassette case they played without Billy Borglioli.


This was a mono broadcast, taped on a boombox-cassette recorder. There is occaisional station drift and other problems, and the broadcast mix was poor. [It was much better for the Trogg's set]

WTBS-FM at MIT was a low-power radio station operated by MIT students; in the '80s (I think) the FCC ordered the station to increase their output or go off the air, so they started raising funds for a new transmitter.
Ted Turner, founder of CNN and TBS, bought the stations call-letters for a pretty good price ($50,000 if I recall correctly), thus saving the station (now called WMBR).
It's still on the air and on the 'net.

"I downloaded a version of this, I think from Dime, with "Common At Noon" as the first track plus the six tracks included here."
