Little Village / Warfield Theatre, SF - Westwood One In Concert #92-26
Little Village was a short-lived project by John Hiatt, Nick Lowe, Ry Cooder and Jim Keltner. They left behind one so-so album and several radio broadcasts. I know they did a BBC broadcast, a WBCN-FM (Boston), and a WXRT (Chicago), but their most well circulated show is this Westwood One syndicated show from the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. The show was picked up by European bootleggers in the mid-90s, appearing as "Living Action," "Solar Sex Panel," "Anywhere USA," "On The Border," and "Live San Francisco '92"...and most recently resurfaced as a gray market release called "The Action In Frisco" that's easily available on Amazon.
All of these come from the Westwood One In Concert broadcast. I've only spotted one single syndication of this show, as an In Concert for the week of June 22, 1992, but there may be other syndication dates out there as Westwood One usually did more than one broadcast of a show.
While this is sort of "old hat" with all the multiple versions out there, I wanted a copy of for my archives of the original show and figure someone else might want it, too. So, here's the original broadcast, with commercials edited out.
The bootleggers listed the date as December 7, 1992, or April 7, 1992. I'm not 100% sure which is correct, but Little Village definitely played the Warfield on April 7, so that's the most likely date.
Flac files of wavs...unfortunately the cue sheet was missing on this one so all you get is 300 dpi scans of the CDs.
