NOTE: LINK UPDATED AS OF MARCH 1, 2023.
This is JAM-PACKED with a great performance by the fabulous Kinks, a commercial
for Cyndi Lauper's first starring role in a motion picture, Whitney Houston singing the hell out of a Diet Coke commercial, Max Headroom running for office, and the mellifluous Steven Downes (the voice of Halo's MASTER CHIEF character) holding down the deejay end of it...and a dash of Cajun spice with a vintage Buckwheat Zydeco commercial for Coca-Cola Classic.
According to the book "The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night" by Mr. Doug Hinman (currently available on Amazon), the full set list was:
Do It Again
Destroyer
Low Budget
Apeman
(not on this WW1 show)
Sleepwalker
Come Dancing
Art Lover
Cliches of the World
Lost And Found
A Gallon of Gas (intro)
Welcome To Sleazy Town
Think Visual
Too Much On My Mind
Living On A Thin Line
A Well Respected Man
It (I Want It)
(not on this WW1 show)
Guilty
All Day And All Of The Night
The Road
(not on this WW1 show)
You Really Got Me
(not on this WW1 show, Hinman says it's on the "Isle of Dreams Festival" broadcast)
Celluloid Heroes
Lola
Mr. Hinman also says, "This recording was back-up for Live From The Fox Theatre broadcast and was used in syndication."
The Fox Theatre broadcast of April 14, 1988 was "broadcast by satellite." That's unusual...
in that Westwood One did a satellite broadcast just a week after this show was on the air.
Note that Mr. Hinman's set list has songs in a different order than this syndicated show. Westwood One often re-ordered set lists.
Mr. Hinman says that the version of "You Really Got Me" was included on Westwood One's faux-concert, "The Isle of Dreams 1988," a Labor Day special where Westwood One took concert segments from their archives plus commercially released live recordings to create an imaginary
concert. There were several "Isle of Dreams" broadcasts, starting with an 18 LP version in 1985.
The 1988 version was a 9-LP set, with the Kinks set as listed as "Low Budget/ You Really Got Me/ Lola/ All Day And All Of The Night." I don't have 1988 Isle of Dreams show, but I'll keep an eye out for it on Ebay. How do you guys feel about these compilation shows? As they are usually truncated versions of more complete shows, I've never bothered to digitize them.
I've got a KBFH "best of" show around here somewhere..is there any interest in that?
While Westwood One often repeated shows, it looks like this Milwaukee show was only broadcast one time and not repeated on later syndications.
The concert ends with one of the Ray Davies greatest compositions, "Celluloid Heroes." While the song didn't see chart action at the time of release, "Celluloid Heroes" has become a beloved rumination on the fleeting nature of pop cultural fame.
"You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of."
On that note, I offer up to you the WONDERFUL Annette Kellerman. Virtually forgotten today, one hundred years ago Annette Kellerman was voted "the World's Most Perfect Woman" by an American newspaper poll. Kellerman first gained fame as a swimmer and a daring diver in her native Austrialia, before moving to international fame with a 17 mile
swim from Putney to Blackwall down the Thames River in England.
Competing against seventeen men in a race down the Seine River, Kellerman came in third.
Kellerman was the first woman to attempt to swim the English Channel (although she failed in that effort).
Kellerman parlayed this into a career in vaudeville, lectures, and popular books on fitness and beauty, invented the one-piece bathing suit for women (and got arrested for wearing it)...with the suits being popularly known as "Kellerman suits" well into the 1920's.
The popular author Jack London referenced her in stories.
This was followed by a successful film career, starring in the first film with a $1,000,000 budget, doing her own stunts, and appearing in the first nude scene by a major Hollywood actress.
Kellerman was a star, but stars fade. But 100 years ago, she was a mega-babe. As Garth put it in "Wayne's World," "If she were a president she would be Baberaham Lincoln."
Of course, Annette Kellerman could not have been president due to the constitutional requirement that you be a natural born citizen of the United States. But regardless... in 1916, she would have my vote.
Today in 2016...she's got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6608 Hollywood Blvd:
"You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of."
So it goes.
100 years later....we have forgotten her.
