KROQ Hollywood Nightshift 9/10/78


Here's a rare trick, or uh, maybe treat, if you prefer...
The Classic Sunday night show, on the ROQ's of Los Angeles,
known as The Hollywood Nightshift.
With only 2 of the usual 3 performers.
Here we have Michael C. Gwynne & Philip Austin blindly
going through the motions
without their sidekick: Frazer Smith on this night.

The ROQs Jocks Legends

A somewhat serene & content Lee Baby Simms above

(What's he got there, oregeno?)

Above, we have a vintage shot of Shadoe Stevens at The Fabeled KROQ D.J. booth, circa: 1977.

Welcome to FROM THE GARAGE blog!
Howdy, my name is Timmy...
Riff was good enough to allow me to make some comments & place a couple postings here.
And, I thought it would be a grand idea to let all the visitors actually see what
these KROQ D.J.'s look like...
Beginning with Sir Rodney From Bingenhiemer
who began his tenure at The ROQ's of Los Angeles in 1976,
& is still there to this very day!
Above he is seen posing with the band KISS,
next, Rodney is caught in action at his "Rodney's English Disco" sometime around the mid 70's

KROQ 08/23/80 Rodney Bingenheimer w/Peter Noone
That's right, Rodney has his old chum Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits fame as his guest. They reminisce about the early days and play Peter's new album with the Tremblers.
You've got to listen to the entire show because it just gets better and better as the show goes on, a lot of gems get played and I don't mean just the old Herman's Hermits hits.
Note: This show complements my first post which was "KROQ 08/24/80 Rodney Bingenheimer celebrates his 4th year anniversary" (see below), because it was recorded the evening before.
Collect em all!
