NOTE:  this is sourced directly from the KBFH discs.  There is a streaming audio version available but it does not include "Middle Man."  This show is often attributed to April 5, 1981, but that is clearly the broadcast date of the KBFH show, as it is the date printed on the KBFH record label. It's likely that this is from November 26, 1980.  That show was simulcast via satellite with more songs.  However, the set list I've seen of the simulcast does not include "Lowdown."

In 2013 I digitized the Boz Scaggs / King Biscuit Flower Hour show that was broadcast on April 5, 1981. That's the broadcast date of the syndicated discs, the actual show is likely to have been recorded on November 26, 1980.

This is direct from the KBFH discs. I cleaned the discs with Titebond II wood glue and then went through it all on Audacity and declicked the show, one click at a time. I've tracked all the commercials and KBFH breaks so they can be left out if they're of no interest. There's one "star turn" where Dave Mason does a pretty heartwarming commercial for Miller Beer that may be of interest to Dave Mason completists. He really "sells" the commercial.

Most of this show is available in streaming audio from Wolfgang's Vault, but oddly enough, their version of the show does NOT include "Middle Man" which was on the original broadcast discs. So...while this duplicates most of what Wolfgang's Vault has got posted, there's at least one song that they've left out of their version.

The sound quality is top-notch, the drums really snap, the two background vocalists are well-defined...all in all, it's worth checking out even if you already have the show archived.

One thing that always struck me about this show is that Boz explains that "Georgia" was about a friend locked up for a love affair with a 13-year-old.... nowadays we'd call that pedophilia, but he just sort of passes over it as if it was normal. Times change....
