Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Live at the Record Plant, Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 4-23-1977

As I've discussed before on this blog, I've had more copyright troubles with this particular band than any other. The good news is, it's been months and months since I've had even one copyright violation notice! That's the longest time by far since I started this blog. I think the way I name the zip files now makes all the difference. But just to be safe, I'm still putting an asterisk in the name of the main band member here, and not posting the song list.

Anyway, P*tty and his band released their self-titled debut album in November 1976. So this took place just five months after that. Just four of the songs played here came from that album. Two more would be released on the next album, as well as two other non-album originals. Furthermore, there were two covers: "Jaguar and Thunderbird" by Chuck Berry and the often covered "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," written by Bobby Troup.

This is from the "Live at the Record Plant" radio show. That show started in 1973 and ran strong until 1975, when the main DJ behind it, Tom Donahue, died of a heart attack at just the age of 46. But there were occasional episodes after that until about the end of 1978, when the main radio station behind the show, KSAN, changed formats. This is one of those later shows.

This album is 46 minutes long. 

As mentioned above, I'm not posting the song list here, also due to the reasons mentioned above. But you can find it in the download file.

The cover photo of the band was taken backstage in Los Angeles, California, in August 1977.
