MOOSE TRACKS TAPE + GWH TAPE VERSION

My friend GWH taped the Thorogood show from the KSAN broadcast.  His version is the source of the versions that begin  with  "Cocaine Blues."

A few years back, the Moose Tracks tape turned up on the late, lamented Quality Bootz website (Hi, Dave!)...but it was still not complete.

The MOOSE TRACKS tape had the missing songs. However, the Moose Tracks tape had a minor edit at the transition of "Wanted Man/Picture from Life's Other Side," and was missing over a minute of "So Much Trouble." It also cut out the DJ banter at the end, where KSAN DJ Tony Kilbert does a very laid-back mid-70s FM dj-hipster outro that helps define the era.

So I combined the Moose Tracks version + the GWH version to make a complete version of the broadcast.

If you've never heard it...Thorogood is still in "bar band" mode, reminding patrons to tip their bartenders and waitresses, calling out for a dance contest on one song, a "ladies choice" dance on another, and he rocks like crazy.  This is one of my favorite live shows of all time, and now it's pretty much perfect.

These are flac files of wavs.
