This tape was labeled as a Warner Brothers Promo. This wasn't listed in the db.etree database, until now........ I've personally never seen this anywhere before, with that being said, this isn't very good quality. This was either from a poor radio signal and/or a high generational tape. But since this seems kind of rare, I figured that it would be of interest.
Thanks to MR for suppyling the tape and Thanks to Andrea82 for helping with the set list. Let's see if anyone comes out with a better copy.
On a related note, in today's Chicago Tribune newspaper it's been declared that after 35 years of stuttering starts, empty promises, a court-ordered sale and oft-reckless neglect,
the 4,381-seat, 46,000-square-foot Uptown Theatre on 4816 N. Broadway, will finally be getting restored to it's 1925 glory, by a tireless volunteer group known as the Friends of the Uptown, with an eye-popping $75 million has been set aside for the restoration of a dangerously decayed and decrepit theater that was boarded up after a J. Geils Band concert on Dec. 19, 1981, leaving aging Chicagoans only with their memories of once seeing Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Prince or the Grateful Dead inside its historic bones.
