Set 1
> Stephen Stills
> recorded on September 18, 1978
> WRNO New Orleans.
> (67 minutes on 1 cd)
>
> Here's the scoop:
>
> Stephen Stills was interviewed on September 18, 1978 on
> WRNO-FM, in
> New Orleans, Louisiana. Stills was in New Orleans for a little
> rest
> and relaxation and had attended the Ali-Spinks rematch in the
> Louisiana Superdome three days previous.
>
> Topics discussed were the Ali-Spinks rematch, Stephen's teenage
> years
> growing up in the New Orleans area, Gary Busey's performance as
> Buddy
> Holly (then a recently released film), and the new album,
> Thoroughfare Gap. Stephen also takes a couple of phone calls
> from
> listeners.
>
> Stephen brought along his MASTER tape of his
> soon-to-be-released
> Thoroughfare Gap album to give New Orleans radio listeners a
> little
> preview. At one point, the radio station's tape machine
> malfunctioned
> and stretched Stephen's MASTER tape. Needless to say, Stephen
> was
> less than thrilled, as the radio station's tape machine
> actually
> destroyed Stephen's MASTER TAPE on the air. (You'll hear
> Stephen's
> reaction while it happens. You'll also hear Stephen be less
> than
> thrilled.)
>
> A small, crazy moment in rock and roll history, I am not 100%
> sure if
> these are the actual final mixes used for the Thoroughfare Gap
> album.
>
> So, did Stephen have to remix the tracks that were destroyed?
>
> Or was this a safety copy of the album's MASTER?
>
> Or were these just Stephen's rough mixes to begin with?
>
> There are two different mixes of Can't Get No Booty played
> during the
> interview, so who knows?
>
> Here the songs played interspersed throughout the interview:
> Can't Get No Booty (2 different mixes)
> Not Fade Away
> Becoup Yumbo
> Thoroughfare Gap
> You Can't Dance Alone
>
> (There was no live music played during the show.)
>
> So are these alternate mixes?
> Are they same mixes as on the Thoroughfare Gap album?
> In any case, the interview is a treat for Stills' fans.
> And if you want to see a photo of Stephen being less than
> thrilled,
> here's a link: http://www.jdthedj.com/airchecks.htm#Stills
