Aloha!! This is the first trip to the beautiful island of Maui for a broadcast by Steve & Garry. They took 20 listeners with them as part of a promotion. We already posted part of the 1984 Broadcast from Maui. Listen to it here.
There are two airchecks. Monday, May 2 and Tuesday, May 3, 1983. Each is about 30 minutes long broadcast on WLS-FM. Both can be played from this post.
Enjoy!!
Monday, May 2
Tuesday, May 3
This air check comes from tapes sent to me by a fan of the blog. It was just marked “Best of the 80’s”. It contains bits that cover several years. All these bits were from WLUP-AM.
Highlights include (22:53):
Enjoy!!

Sorry for the delay. I have been spending a lot of time working on my World Cup fantasy league team.

Jim Belushi was a frequent visitor to the Steve Dahl Show. This aircheck was made in February of 1982 when broadcast on a “Best of” show so it may have been edited from original before airing. The original date of the broadcast would be late January 1982. There is a reference to John (Belushi) being on the cover of Rolling Stone the week before which would have been Issue #361 dated 1/21/82. John would die 6 weeks after this was recorded.
At this time, Jim was appearing at the Shubert Theatre as the Pirate King in a run of “The Pirates of Penzance” and stopped by the studio to play a little Celebrity Jeopardy!
The audio is below in two parts. In Part 2 you will hear the song: Sink the Bismarck. This song was performed by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd at Bob’s Country Bunker in the movie Blues Brothers, but the scene was cut from the movie.
Enjoy!!

So, sometimes I get into this little misguided funk that holds me back from posting what I have because I don’t think it is that good. Just your basic Steve & Garry. If you think about how much material they had to grind out day after day, 4+ hours, every day it amazes me. Comedians do the same show in each city on a tour. Comedy writers (as groups) do a once a week sit-com or maybe a monologue. (Props to writers of things like The Daily Show).
In any event, here is 20 minutes from a day in May on WLS-FM. Nothing Earth-shattering just good Steve & Garry. I think the most amazing thing is that S&G make it sound so natural and easy to do.
Highlights include (19:05):

Ok, so I’m a little late on the whole Cinco de Mayo thing but I ran across some good tape from 1988 when Steve & Garry were on WLUP-AM. I’m going to place two audio pieces in one post so look for two down below.
May 3, 1988
The first air check is from May 3 or 4, 1988. The boys are in the limo on their way to Mexico for a Cindo de Mayo broadcast. The limo is pretty full because Steve, Garry, Kevin, Jim Shorts and Eddie are all in there.
May 5, 1988
Well the whole Mexico thing didn’t work out because of technical issues. So instead, the boys broadcast from the beach at a hotel in San Diego.
Enjoy!!
So, I figure I would start your weekend on a musical note. Here is a compilation of music from the October 16, 1979 edition of the “Steve Dahl Breakfast Club” featuring The Hounds.
The Hounds were “one of Chicago’s most loved and most hated 80’s post punk bands. In the age when Off Broadway, Cheap Trick, and Pezband played the Chicago club circuit, one thing was sure; 5PM every Friday WXRT blasted out the demo version of “Drugland Weekend”"
Song highlights include (27:16)
Enjoy & Rock on!!!!
First a quick note: Thanks to several fans of this site, I have received a good handful of Steve & Garry audio both in mp3 and cassette form over the past few weeks. Thank you, this is very much appreciated. For readers (listeners) of this site this is great news for you! I will try to post more material, more often. A lot of the new material is from WLS-FM, WLS-AM and WLUP-AM (1985 – 1990). If you have audio you would like to donate, please read this.
Speaking of new material…
Sam Kinison was a frequent visitor of the Steve Dahl Show and would never disappoint. Great stories, awesome jokes and of course, the laugh.
In this audio piece Sam visits Steve & Garry on WLUP-AM 1000 during his 1989 comedy tour playing the Holiday Star in Indiana. This show was broadcast May 17, 1989. It is presented in two parts.
Highlights of this segment include candid discussion of Sam’s recent divorce. A call and visit from Slash of Guns N’ Roses. And the ripping of Andrew Dice Clay. Plus so much more.
Enjoy!!
