I digitized the Hoovers portion of this tape back in 2010, and shared it with the Tone and Wave blog. You can see that post at:

The file was picked up a month later in 2011 by Marco On The Bass, who wrote a great piece on the Hoovers. He contacted their keyboard player about the tape. I urge you to read it, it tells you more about the Hoovers than I ever could. That's still up at:
It looks like both of their links are dead, so I figured I'd put the Hoovers back in circulation, along with the two other bands on the bill that night.
Cha Cha Billy was pop-rock, and they played all over the Bay Area for roughly 1979 to 1983. I had to guess at all of the titles. The second song in their set has about 15 seconds of low radio noise under the music.
The Lloyds were one of those "shoulda" bands...they shoulda got a contract. Strong songs, powerful singer....they just had their demo tapes (and some live cuts from the Catalyst and Old Waldorf) released in 2023.
I recommend checking out "Nothing In Return (When The Party's Over)." That one could have been a hit!
When I originally did the Hoovers set, I had to guess at the date. With the aid of Newspapers.com, I was able to track down the print ad for the show, which proves the date was Sunday, September 28, 1980.
KSAN switched to a country and western format just a few months later (November 15, 1980). They had been tightening up their playlist but this tape shows they were taking chances with unknown music right up to the end.
