Listen

The circulating copy of this broadcast is a WLIR-FM rebroadcast from Long Island, not the original KSAN San Francisco airing, which is how a February 18, 1975 session at a Sausalito studio ended up preserved by a radio station three thousand miles away. The band had already recorded two Warner Bros. albums at the same studio. Bill Kirchen was on guitar for a seventeen-song set spanning "Lost in the Ozone Again," "Hot Rod Lincoln," and a run of Western swing and rockabilly standards. No official release of the broadcast has surfaced.
