Broadcast live on WMMS, Cleveland Ohio. "Coffee Break Concert", broadcast on a Wednesday morning. It was 5 days before she started a national tour.
I was absolutely astounded that this show includes a new song - "Night On Fire", only written "a couple of weeks ago" and performed live for the first time... and possibly the only time since it doesn't appear on any of the other circulating shows and there's no mention of the song on the net either. For us to get a "lost" song after all this time is unbelievable! There's some really great performances in this show too, plus some little interviews.
In the interview she says her band The Toys were previously known as the 7th Avenue Band, so that explains the song title "The Boys On 7th Avenue" performed as an encore on some dates of the tour.
Tom said "It was part of a weekly show on WMMS in Cleveland called "The Coffeebreak Concert", it was done on Wednesday mornings and usually aired from 10-11 AM, but I think it was later moved from 11-12. It started out with mainly folky type artists recorded in the radio studio, mostly recorded in advance, mostly local artists. In the late 1970's they moved out of the studios to the nearby Agora and did the shows live, at first mainly with local bands, who were happy to do it for the free promotion, but they eventually started getting some national acts to perform and of course Rachel Sweet was both a national act and a hometown girl, so it worked out well. It's odd that I even recorded that because I don't remember doing it and I would have been in school that time of day, so I may have faked being sick that day to stay home and record it, being that it was almost 30 years ago, I just can't recall."
