KROQ May & August 1977 Shadoe Stevens
We've got a real treat for you!
I got home from work last week and found a package in my mailbox from Timmy. The box contained four cassettes labeled KROQ Shadoe Stevens 1977.
Like WOW!
So here for your listening pleasure is Shadoe Stevens at the mike on KROQ in 1977. I think my favorite is side 2 of the 08/01/77 tape because KROQ is celebrating it's one year anniversary by giving away pipes, bongs and for one lucky listener a custom stereo system. So if you thought the first year was something, watch out LA!
Thanks Timmy!

It's my pleasure to have Riff post these great tapes. I was entrusted by Shadoe Stevens to transfer all of his collection of tapes he kept for many years, of his luminous radio carreer. It is still an ongoing effort. As far as recollection permits, Shadoe himself recorded these tapes off of the fabeled KROQ board.

These files download, but they don't extract. Is there any way to just link to them as mp3s?
my bad, i figured out how to extract the files.
Hey Anonymous,
Timmy said he wasn't having any luck either. I put these MP3s into folders and then zipped em. When you download them and unzip them you should have a folder with the MP3s inside. I tried and had no problems but I'm in the process of compressing them into RAR files and uploading to Rapidshare as an alternative. Geez, never had a problem in the past.
If anyone else is having problems I apologize and I'm working on a solution.
Thanks,
Riff
I ended up downloading the Zip files and then using WinRar to extract them, by right clicking on the icon on my desktop, and then selecting "Extract files" from that menu.
Who and what immediately follows Long John Baldry on Tape 2, Side 1 about 8 minutes into 1977-05-29 Tape 2, Side 1?
The music sounds sorta like Edgar Winter at times to me.
When I was born the sky was filled with thunder...
Anybody can sing the blues but who can sing like me? The mighty atom smasher...
They call me Electric Throat 'cuz I'm as bad as bad as bad can be...
None of these lyrics produce any results when I Google them.
Myke C, The name of that group was Roadmaster. The title of the song is "Who Can Sing Like Fat Boy Do?". The LP was released in 1976 on Village Records. A GREAT song, that only KROQ played.
The first 5 songs were played immediately before this tape was recorded - (according to the Gospel Book of Shadoes) and are, therefore, not included in the recording.

This is terrific! After listening to them, I think what is labelled here as side one and two of August 1, 1977 is actually sides three and four of August 7. There's a continuity.
If you have more, please post them!
