The Steve Dahl Audio Vault

Happy Anniversary Steve!!!

It has been 30 years since Disco Demolition and it’s been a great ride. I didn’t go to DD on July 12, 1979. My two buddies went and have some great stories to tell.

I stayed home and watched it on TV. I remember sitting in the cool basement on a warm summer night. I was watching with my girlfriend. When things went totally ape-shit, I recall sitting there thinking, “Oh boy is this great!!” My girlfriend, on the other hand, was not that impressed. Probably my first clue that this relationship was doomed.

I found one piece of audio from July 12, 1982 where Steve reads from a Sun-Times article by Bill Gleason and others that were published after DD. This piece gets off to a bad start as Steve has an argument with George the engineer. This comes two days after Steve had a big meltdown on the air and didn’t show up for the start of the show the next day. More on this later.

If you need to relive more moments check out these YouTube videos:
