Notes:
An FM broadcast on WNEW, a few months after Infinity was released. The band had made its transition to rock when Steve Perry joined, but Greg Rollie (?) still sings on some tracks. It sounds wierd to me. So wierd that Aynsley Dunbar would soon leave the band for Jefferson Starship. Richard Neer MC's the broadcast for WNEW and, as he explains, is stuck in a trailer outside the theater, so he doesn't know that the band is already playing while he's asking them not to go on stage yet. The first track, therefore, is muted for 30 seconds or so, until Pat St. John (?) can make the station announcement. There are several tracks of Richard Neer and Pat St. John chatting in between the three encores. You can drop them from them recording if you like and the music tracks should flow together nicely. In a few places, the chatter and music overlap. Oh well. There is a very light touch of static at 14:18, a few moments into Feelin' That Way. I left it alone. I cross faded a tape flip at 38:00, with no music lost.
