Once again, Steve & Garry are ahead of the curve. I’m guessing in 1980 not many people had even heard of Karaoke but this it what S&G are doing.
This is another “odds & ends” piece just marked WLUP 1980. Steve & Garry have a list of popular music without singing and the lyrics sheet. Here is a completely awful version of Pretty Woman. Thank goodness it’s only 3 minutes and 6 seconds.
Enjoy!!
Here is an aircheck from a Steve & Garry show on WLS-FM from February 15, 1982. My tape is just marked Feb. ‘82 but there is a mention of being after Valentines Day and a Monday so I’m taking a stab that this is the 15th.
Highlights include (12:25):
Enjoy!!!
Warren Frieburg (1940-2000), was radio broadcaster from Northwest Indiana and he hated everything Steve Dahl stood for. Steve however found Warren’s attacks funny enough to give him time on his show. Steve always loved reading his bad press reviews along with hate mail from listeners on his show.
This is a clip of Warren talking about Steve & Garry’s morning TV show “It’s Too Early”. It also aired as the opening of the June 3, 1983 program.
Enjoy!!
Hi All!!!
We’re back. Today is just a quickie of the opening of a Steve & Garry show on WLS-FM. I don’t know the date. Sometimes I find just a few minutes of a show on a tape that has no date or other info. This is one of those cases (but amusing none the less) Of the 4:25, 3:45 of it are some of the clips S&G played at the opening of their show. (Ann Landers, Taxi Driver, Michigan Football, Warren Frieburg and more)
We have a lot of good stuff coming up in the first part of the year. But I also have some little odds and ends to toss in as well.
Some things to look out for:
Finally – If you have any old tapes that you would like loan to The Stever Vault. Please contact me. I will digitize them for you and return your originals with CD quality mp3’s and lots of bonus materials.
I have about enough audio to get me through the year then it’s either re-post or shut it down.
Looking forward to a great 2010.
Enjoy!!
This is the best Steve & Garry show ever broadcast! My friend over at TheOriginalShockJock on YouTube posted the entire Vasectomy Show that was broadcast on March 16, 1989 when S&G were on WLUP-AM 1000.
If you are a Steve Dahl fan, you have probably heard about this show. If you have never listened it, it is well worth your time.
Here the notes from the post on YouTube:
“One of the many pioneering highlights of Steve’s career, and one that generated a fairly large amount of publicity at the time. What is really amazing is that it was so popular that other radio people around the country did it AFTER Steve (like so many things Steve has done) when they may not have even wanted a vasectomy to start with. [The quote I remember Garry Meier saying was "if someone had their arm cut off, would you do that too?"] I know a couple of other ‘DJ’s’ had vasectomies, as well as a station that had a live vasectomy of a listener, but I don’t know how any of them could be considered valid or even interesting since Steve’s was done as an insight on him for his listeners, an inside look (pun intended) on something personal. Like so much of Steve’s radio career it was something new and different, as well as personal and genuine, and really rather brave considering that it was after all still a surgery. More classic trail blazing Steve Dahl comedy (and medical drama!)”
Garry Meier plays an awesome side-kick role in this piece. Great one-liners and fills. I also liked the use of the cell phone a rather new technology in 1989. The only thing that distracts from this broadcast is the fact that they had to get the news breaks in, which really kills the pace of the show.
Enjoy!!!
