King Biscuit Flower Hour

[DGDGBD]

This was a great radio show back in the day. I remember hearing a lot of great concerts. Now we have webcasts, streaming audio/video, youtube, etc., it seems so obsolete now, like reading a newspaper. But this was the sh*t, back before the internet revolution!

I've been to several of the KB blues festivals in Helena, AR. Loved 'em. What an experience.

Every Sunday night at 10pm on the local FM radio station! Great program and I would always tune in to see who was on that week.

I used to have a cassette tape ready to tape the show, every Sunday nigt.
I wish I had some of those back from time to time.

Remember it well, along with Jim Ladd's "Innerview" radio interview show -

 

[zzzezums]

loved that radio show. If I remember correctly it was carried by WNEW FM in NYC. Ah now I've free associated to my fav DJ of all time Allison Steele, the nightbird.

Yeah, I remember sitting around with friends on sunday nights in HS waiting for that show. It was great.

Old Grey Whistle Test is another one that i like poking through the archives.

+1
wolfgangsvault.com has an amazing archive - it's all the tapes that concert promoter Bill Graham (who founded both Fillmore's) had, now converted to digital form.

It's an absolute treasure trove of music - vie found several shows from the exact night I was there.
Plus, there's an iPhone app for listening on the go.

I loved King Biscuit.

I remember taping a killer Stones concert off of KBFH back in the day and not knowing what it was. Played it till it wore out. A few years ago I posted a question on TGP to see if anyone remembered it, what concert it was and where I might get it. Immediately learned that it was the Lost Brussels concert and a really generous member sent me a disc a few days later.

Of course, now all you have to do is click:

Remember WNEW well, I recently picked up a hard drive that has a bunch of the KBFH shows on it.

There are lots of those KBH concerts uploaded over on TelaSugarmegs.com also lots from FM broadcast concerts from the Catalyst Theatre.

The one recording of KBFH that I remember most was a show from Ozzy's Diary of a Madman tour. I was 14 at that time and just remember eating up anything that was ROCK. That was a great time because everything was new and exciting to me.

Kids these days have it too soft. Why I tells ya, back in my time, if you wanted to watch real rock concerts on TV, you had to stay up until midnight on a Saturday, dag nabbit!

And the only time you could watch three hours of uninterrupted cartoons was on Saturday mornings! Yer darn tootin'!

I think i may have a copy (of dubious quality) of this show. I remember it well. Recorded about 2-4 weeks after RR's death. Brad Gillis was playing guitar and it was recorded at Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis Tenn. Pretty cool show, Gillis has a killer tone on this tour. Saw it later in person in June 1982 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
