85 Linda McInnes - KFOG comments after the show
Okay, gang, here's one for the archives.
This is an off-the-air copy of the Rolling Stones concert of February 3, 1998 from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California. Hosts are Coe Lewis and John Leslie from San Diego's KGB-FM.
Westwood One broadcast the concert nationally. There were breaks where national commercials were inserted into the show, with slots left for local commercials after the block of national ads.
Here in the Bay Area, the broadcast was carried by San Francisco's KFOG-FM, so you get Lake Tahoe ski resort ads (it was February...) and KFOG promotions. On another radio station, you would have different local spots.
It's roughly 2 hours of music interspersed with 40 minutes of advertising and announcements. The commercial breaks were 5 to 6 minutes long. My understanding is breaks were added by tape-delay. I recall reading that people attending the concert were able to hear the encore on the radio as they were leaving the concert, but I haven't tracked down a hard copy of that reference.
The insertion of local commercials into a broadcast being delayed means there are a few fumbles along the way. At several of the transitions from the local commercials back into the national broadcast you can hear that KFOG ran a few seconds late, and they're running over the national hosts who are already doing the segment introduction.
All the commercials and breaks are tracked so you can skip over or delete them.
Wow hinter. . . . of your usual standard; talk about notes and detail! TWO hours of Stones music and the station idents and ads so you can just edit them out!? AWESOME! Literally
ReplyDeleteHey, Swappers! I've never been a fan of the commercials, but at some point, they start to be "history." On this list.... we were at peak "Radio Shack" right about this time; since 1998 they declared bankruptcy, had their assets sold several times and are now owned by a company from El Salvador. Linda McInness took her own life, despondent over the fall of radio and KFOG went under a few years back and is now KNBR "'sports talk radio."
Delete1998 isn't so far back that this bunch is particularly interesting, although I gotta say....John Lithgow playing banjo is pretty awesome. Two Tony Awards, six Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards...and he's playin' a banjo for a credit card.
I also figger trackin' 'em allows Our Beloved Audience to edit down to just the music, or the music and announcers, or play the whole shebang... it gives you the choice to decide what's important to you. :)
Personally, I am a completist when it comes to radio shows, so I like 'em commercials and all. I used to edit the commercials out back in the day of taping, but my editing left something to be desired at times. Ask Draftervoi.....lol.
ReplyDeleteNow i have a cd-r of the actual Westwood One discs for this show. Mine are void of commercials, just the in between breaks chatter of the 2 dj's. I find this interesting for Westwood One as they almost always have national commercials for their programs. And at the close of my disc, they thank the sponsors Sprint and Sprite, even though there are no commercials on my copy. Now, there may have been a sperate disc of commercials that the stations were to air at the breaks. Again, just a conjecture on my part.
Enjoy this show!
Hi, Sam....I've seen WW1 discs on EBAY which I think were a 3-disc set, with the "Bridges to Babylon" lion on them...but I didn't record any details on my list. Is your set a 3-disc set? If so, I think you're on the right track, they may have produced a full show for later broadcast.
ReplyDeleteThe show was edited down and rebroadcast three times as Superstar Concert 98-35, 99-18, and 00-29, with different commercials and announcements. I've got two of those, edited with (and without) commercials, too.
Yes, it was a 3 disc set, but I do not remember the lion on them. They might have had it on them and I didnt notice/pay attention. I will have to find the cue sheet as I think the sheet states Feb 3, 1998 as airdate. But I could be wrong. I wish I still have the original discs. I think I have 2 of the Superstars shows as well.
ReplyDeleteHey, Sam...I got lucky and found a copy...this is what it MIGHT be: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162526176224
ReplyDeleteI'm wary of that, though...I have 98-06 as John Mellencamp, broadcast January 26 1998...it's possible that it's a "fake" of a WW1 set. Looks great, if it is...
ReplyDeleteHere's another....they think it's real...but the concert was ON Feb. 3, so how could the CDs be "for broadcast" on that date? I'd love to see those cue sheets.... https://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=113109
