Breakfast Club Live – Sept. 12, 1980 – Part 1

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I remember this show because I was there! Me and a few friends caught a couple Breakfast Clubs Live and it was always a blast.  Drinking (and stuff) in the early morning while driving into the city was always part of the plan. (Sorry Mom, everyone did it back then and we didn’t know it was wrong)

This show includes Another Kid in the Crawl done live. Steve’s “Stairway” (I think he has said that about several of his songs).

This is from Friday, September 12, 1980 when Steve and Garry were on The Loop (WLUP-FM). S&G are live at the Carnegie Theatre. This air check is in two parts.

Enjoy!!!
(Part 2 is below)

Steve & Garry – The Secret Post

Monday, September 14th, 2009

It seems that another Steve Dahl fan over on YouTube has had some copyright problems with a certain religious organization over a video that he uploaded.

So, in order to avoid any cease and desist orders that may come my way because of this post, I won’t mention the particular ministry individual or the song that Steve created so it will be harder for them to find my little blog. But being a SD fan, you are probably following my drift…

This aircheck was recorded the day after Steve, Garry, Buzz and a handful of listeners went to Indiana to witness this religious gathering. The link above has about 3 minutes from earlier in the day of that same show.

This audio post is about 14 minutes long and has pieces from two shows on it. The second part of this audio post is from the next day and has “The Song” which is a parody of the Blondie song “Call Me”. This comes from a tape marked January 1981 so it is shortly before Steve was fired from WLUP. I’m not sure of the exact date of the broadcast.

Once again, Steve cues up a song on the air spinning the vinyl backward. I love when he does that.

Enjoy!!
Shhhhhhhh! This one’s a secret.

Steve & Garry – Breakfast Club Live – Jan ‘1981

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Some of Steve and Garry’s craziest shows were done live in Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee. The audience was usually very self-medicated. This is a Steve Dahl Breakfast Club Live from the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee. It comes from a broadcast on WLUP in January of 1981.

This 10 minute segment  starts with Ayatollah done live (in progress). Then S&G go into the audience for a Kukula Patrol. At one point, Steve tries to control what goes out over the air and asks that a t-shirt not be read  mentioning that he “has a lot of problems”. This comes just a week or two before he was fired from WLUP. We also get a visit from Stan.

Enjoy!!

Steve & Garry – Traffic with Tyrone – 5/8/80

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

OK, here is a shorty (and I don’t mean the midget engineer)…just a quick but entertaining 4:35 with one of my favorite characters, Tyrone Traffic. “What it tis”.

This air check comes from Steve and Garry on WLUP-FM (The Loop) from May 8, 1980.

There is also a quick sports/weather report with Buzz. This clip ends with Steve stepping on the Red Rider lyrics. The do-over has a great rewind of vinyl on a turntable. Listen for Garry to drop-in the “John is dead” reference. The actual reference by The Beatles was that Paul McCartney was dead. John Lennon did die 7 months later.

Enjoy!!!

Steve & Garry – 11/21/80 – Show Close

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Here’s another quickie…
This comes on the heels of the last post where Steve is back in the studio after being sick. It is just the last couple minutes of the show for Steve & Garry on WLUP-FM for Friday, November 21, 1980.

It is amazing how much can happen in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Highlights include:

  • Ironman
  • Steve recovering from a bout of something
  • Show Close – “You’re beautiful, don’t ever change. Don’t forget to have a good weekend and PARTY! Like a banshee. Hard. Do bongs (Marathon)”
  • Buzz quitting cigarettes

Enjoy!!

Skylab

Monday, July 20th, 2009

SkylabSo, in celebration of man landing on the moon (do you think the media could beat this story to death a little more?), we might as well do our own tribute (sort of)…

Because I don’t have any moon landing stuff, here is Steve’s parody of Skylab done to the Stones song Shattered. BTW, Skylab’s reentry was the day before Disco Demolition (7/11/79).

Enjoy!!

Steve & Garry – November 1980 (Part 2 of 2)

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Here’s part 2…
Sorry for the late post. I’ll try to get separate posts that are in parts up a little closer together.

Highlights include (17:51):

  • Mr. Rogers acid flashback
  • Steve is sick. Greg is in the hospital.
  • Show Close – “Thank you for listening. You’re beautiful, don’t ever change and don’t forget to PARTY! Hard. Do bongs.”

At this point the Steve & Garry machine is really getting rolling. Disco Demolition has placed Steve in the national spotlight and TV deals and a radio network are in the works.

The radio show is now in syndication with stations in Milwaukee and Detroit. This leads to the cow noise. When the network started, S&G needed a way to signal affiliates that a break was coming. Hence, the use of odd sound effects (which change seasonally). You will no longer hear the exact time, only “It’s XX minutes after the hour. This is the Steve Dahl Breakfast Club”.

Enjoy!!

Happy 30th Anniversary Steve!! Disco Demolition

Friday, July 10th, 2009

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:

Enjoy!!!

DISCO STILL SUCKS!!!!
