By the way in case there are any Led Zeppelin fans out there here is a copy of Destroyer if you want to give it a listen:
Stellar quality for a bootleg ripped from the soundboard in 1977, you can hear a pin drop during the key solo on No Quarter. Also the drums are up front in the mix and you can really tell why Bonzo is arguable the best drummer in the history of rock & roll.

It was like playing a slot machine. Never sure if you would get connected and just hoping that final image would light up with the connected message. Back in the mid 90s, we got a dedicated telephone line to always stay connected so we wouldn't have to worry whether we could get a "good" phone number to connect to.
If you actually still have that poster with Sprinsteen geeting second billing, it would be worth beaucoup de dollars.Auggie made me think of the great Leo's Casino, where the party went on in spite of the Hough riots.......
Back when Cleveland Rock Radio MEANT SOMETHING. RIP, real Buzzard
