Radio What Wave Playlist July 19/2012

A 2.5 hour marathon show, as Ryan In The Red couldn't make it in for his show right after Radio WW....

1. Andy Shernoff....Are You Ready To Rapture?...A song that Adny sent us for last years rapture, which obviously didn't happen despite the hype!

2. Kinks...You Really Got Me....this is the start of our tribute to Jon Lord who passed away the other day. And yes, that's him playing the keyboards on this Kinks anthem!

3. Art Woods...What Shall I Do...from a compilation LP called My Generation on EMI that collected some psych/mod sounds from the mid 60's. This particular track is from 1967, prior Jon Lord forming...

4. Deep Purple...Space Truckin'...from the Machine Head Anniversary 2 CD collection. And this is a slightly different version of this song than what appeared on Machine Head, an LP i played WAY too many times as a young'un! And that wraps up our trib to Jon Lord, the master of the Hammond organ.

5. Magic Christian....Teenage Head...Schizophrenic 7" i picked up at Hits'n'Misses last weekend. Recorded on a really fucking cold day in January 2009 in Hamilton Ontario, prior to a red hot gig that night. At this point, Magic Christian was comprised of Cyril Jordan, Paul Kopf, Eddie Munoz and Clem Burke. For this recording, they were supplemented by Gord Lewis, Dave Rave and Michael Fonfara to make a Super group! There's also a video somewhere out there that shows them actually recording in the studio!

6. The Reply...Midnight Train....from a demo. Toronto mod/soul combo that put on killer live shows!

7. The Hook Up...List Of Diagrams...from their Call Up The Devil CD.

11. The Leather Uppers...One Eyed Gal...recorded live at The Brunswick Hotel 10/11/91. This was their very first show outside Toronto, and was supposed to be a 2 night stint. But, The Leather Uppers weren't appreciated by the management/drunks at the Brunswick and were asked to leave after only 1 night. Possibly the only band to have this unique honour! And the reason i played The Leather Uppers, is that Classy Craig who was half of the Leather Uppers, is the drummer in the Evil Eyes.

12. Weirdies...Party Over Here...from their In 3D CD from 2008. Killer trio from Toronto.

13. The Zellots...Object...recorded live at The Kent Hotel in Kitchener back in 1980 and it was broadcast over CHRW. I taped it off the radio back then, and you get to reap the benefits 32 years later! The Zellots are re-uniting for our Underground Graphics Show on Oct 26/12. Simon Less was the DJ who did the live recording and played it over the airwaves. Simon is now known as Peter Moore, producer, archivist, masterer, etc...

31. Bobby Fuller 4...Let Her Dance...from The Best Of...on Rhino Records.

32. Bobby Fuller 4...1000 Pound Bee...from the Bobby Fuller Instrumental Album, obviously all instros. You can get tons of Bobby Fuller Four releases on Norton Records.

33. Budokan...Gone Back Home...from the brand new Spin A Little Gold CD and the start of our pop set.

34. The DB's...Neverland...from the 1986 Amplifier LP, which looks like a compilation of earlier tracks. Played this as somewhere on the web, i found a current version of The Db's playing this song and it got stuck in my noggin'.

Talked to Monoman at the show and he said no, the song was too difficult to get the vocals down right, so they weren't going to do it that night.

Playlist May 24/2012

Finally a show without a topic....just cool rock'n'roll with lots of emphasis on the new stuff that's popped up recently.

1. The Gruesomes....What Wave....from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood on OG Records. First time we've played our theme song in ages and hopefully caught some listeners off guard.

2. BeeGees....In My Own Time...from their very first LP, simply titled Bee Gee's 1st.In mono and on Atco, Canadian pressing. For Robin Bee Gee who passed away the other day.

3. Eliza and The Strange...Disease...from their 2012 self titled debut LP. The are from Halifax, Nova Scotia and are now called Bloody Diamonds, which to me, reeks of late 70's psuedo metal.

4. Reply...Memphis Train...Toronto soul/mod/rock'n'roll combo from Toronto that put on killer live shows! See below, April 21/2012 at Brennan's, right here in sleepy London Ontario.

5. The Ballantynes...The Message...from their recent 7" on La Ti Da Records outta Vancouver. Features a former Tranzmitor or 2 on this soul drenched single.

6. Joey Ramone...7 Days Of Gloom...from his latest, ...Ya Know on BMG. Picked this one up at Walmart the other day.

7. The DeRellas...Go Go DeRella....UK combo on Dirty Water Records, again brand new.

8. Thee Walkin' Jacks...from their brand new online download, Drop Dead. Members of Liquid Vapours crank out some similar sounding trash rock'n'roll...from the east coast of Canada, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.

9. Tom Jones....Jezebel...from a 7" on Third Man Records. Jeb Bond of The Evil Farm Children was ranting about Tom Jones awhile back, checked out some of his recent material and found out Jeb was right!! Tom Jones has released some pretty cool tunes recently!! Betcha never thought you'd hear Tom Jones on Radio What Wave! Or The Bee Gee's for that matter!! Blame Jeb!!

10. Terror Lake...Freehold...from the Haggard Beast Toronto comp that came out a few years back. Terror Lake are in town at The Black Shire Pub this saturday along with locals Psycho Daisies (Jack Whiteside of Uranus' latest combo) and Space Slave.

11. Terror Lake...Double Cross of Maxwell Pine....as above.

12. Flamin' Groovies...Move It... from their Now LP from 1978 and goes out to Rockin' Jack Whiteside as he used to play this tune in Uranus.

13. Bloodshot Bill...Cool Breeze...from a brand new 7" on Transistor 66 Records outta Winnipeg. played a little BB Radio ad right after this song. Below is BB at The Victoria Tavern here in sleepy London Ontario and someone's ass is catching Bill's attention!

14. The Phantom....Love Me...from the Lux Lives! download and Lux yammers excitedly about how great The Phantom is prior to the song starting.

15. Orie Hitt Machine...Killer Inside Me....crazy psycho shit from sleepy London Ontario!

16. Boy From Nowhere...Borderline...live at The Brunswick Tavern in beautiful downtown London Ontario...recorded sometime around 1990 and is a carryover from our all live show last week. The Boy From Nowhere always knew how to rock and this here's the proof as they cover a DMZ tune. And speaking of DMZ, the band they morphed into, The Lyres hit Hamilton next weekend and the Boy From Nowhere's bass player will be playing bass for The Lyres. Below is bassist Brian Young borrowing my Vox Constellation IV for a gig at The Langarth Bar and Grill here in sleepy London in 1987.

17. The Troggs...Summertime...from a 7" and a bit of self indulgence for The Troggs who never get played on CHRW.

18. The Troggs...From Home...the flipside of Wild Thing.

19. The Troggs...I Can't Control Myself...now that I've played a set of Troggs i'm feeling much better. I'm gonna start trying to do this every show or 2, feature a band who never gets any airplay on this station, just for fun.

20. Living Deadbeats...Evil Hearted Blues...from their almost released 12"...LD will be in London for 2 shows in July and we'll be plugging them lots prior to...

21. T.H.E. ...Grilled Cheese....mystery band who mailed me a 3 song demo, hand written song titles and very little other info. We've sent the paperwork out to the local CSI who refuse to tell us anything other than this combo will be opening up for The Living Deadbeats London shows in July....and they say you should check them out!

22. The Chickens...Heart That Bleeds....from the Bring It On CD and a special request for regular listener Mike Burton who lost a friend to a car accident recently.

23. The Chickens...Summertime...from the Prepare to Plug In CD....a 4 shot of The Chickens for Mike. For those that don't know, The Chickens featured 4 members of UIC, the coolest band to ever come out of Exeter Ontario. UIC formed around 1980 and used to play London Ontario fairly regularly before moving on to Toronto and releasing several records and CD's....and their might just be another one coming out later this year.

24. The Chickens...Submarine Driver...from the Bring It On CD.

25. The Chickens...Super Bee...from the Prepare To Plug In CD. The Chickens used to make me dance my ass off! Everytime we saw them! Sadly,they packed it in about 5 or 6 years ago.

26. The Smoggers...Shame On You...brand new single from these Spanish garagepunkers...

Outta time, but certainly not outta tunes as we'll play even more new stuff on next week's Radio What Wave. Thanks for all the phone-ins, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!

Playlist May17/2012.....Live In London Ontario

An all live show comprised of various live recordings at various venues from sleepy London Ontario. Some of the sound quality may not be the greatest, as many of this week's tunes will be from the original cassette tapes done many years ago....enjoy and go out and see some live music here in sleepy London Ontario.

1. Dark Carnival....Ain't Nothin' To Do....recorded live at Call The Office 10/12/90 and features Stooges Ron Ashton and Scott 'Rock Action' Ashton along with our fave diva, Niagara on the screeches. It was a great show and we got to hang out with Ron Ashton afterwards...an interview appeared in What Wave zine as well as some major cool pics (see below and drool) of the band. And we got to tell them who originally did 'My Best Bette' (Mr Kenne Highland) as they had found the song on a compilation tape and loved it so much they covered it at the show, yet had no idea who did the song.

2. catl....Church On Sunday....recorded live at Call The Office 3/16/12.

3. Hi-Tones...That's Alright Mama....recorded live at The Spoke 1/13/12 as part of CHRW's Wired Fridays.

4. Lucky 7....Rock'n'Roll Radio....recorded at Call The Office 2/23/89. This combo played at many clubs here in London...The Firehall, Leadbellys and probably Mingles. They came from NYC and featured Barry Ryan on the guitar, presently Robert Gordon's touring guitarist as well as a member of late 70's NYC punk combo, The Victims. Also in the band, on accordion, keys and vocals was Kenny Margolis, famous NYC studio cat who was also a member of Mink DeVille's legendary band...as well as currently being in Cracker.

5. Ronnie Dawson...Rockin' Bones....recorded live at Leadbellys 3/23/89...The Blonde Bomber from Texas did a 2 night stint here in London, I went one night and Rena went the next...and a FUCKING AMAZING show both nights!!! This particular song was a request from yours truly as he cut the original version that The Cramps borrowed. Really cool guy who signed many of my records and had a smile on his face the whole show!!

6. Ronnie Dawson....Congratulations To Me...recorded live at Leadbellys 3/24/89...a double shot of the Blonde Bomber!!!

7. Blood On The Saddle...Let's Have A Party....recorded live at Key West 12/17/86 in front of a small crowd. Singer Annette (original member of The Bangles) wasn't in the best of moods for this show, but MAN can she belt out a tune!!

8. Uranus....Uranium Rock....recorded at The Embassy 3/22/82 and broadcast over CHRW. We had guitarist Jack on a coupla weeks back for the 30th anniversary of this broadcast to talk about those days. And that's Uranus in the pic below.

9. The Fleshtones....Hexbreaker...recorded live at Call The Office 11/22/90 and we started upstairs in the dressing rooms and marched down the stairs with the band as they liked to start the party upstairs and bring it onto the stage. Possibly the most fun band in the entire universe!! You can read all about them in Sweat, by Joe Bonomo as he gives this legendary combo their just tribute in print.

10. Chesterfield Kings...Loose Lip Sync Ship...recorded live at Bullwinkles 5/29/86 and the only time these guys ever came to London.

11. The Fuzztones...Cinderella...recorded live at Key West 4/5/87 to a hot sweaty packed crowd. I was right up front with Psychedelic Pete, mere inches away from Rudi and the boys as they ripped through their set. We didn't find out till many years later, the bass player was none other than John Carlucci (of The Speedies) and presently in The Beat Killers, a killer combo who are in Europe right now. And below is a pic of how close we were to a sweaty Rudi....we won't talk about the underage that Rudi left with that night...

12. The Gruesomes....I'm A Bloodhound...recorded live at Key West 1/11/87. This was the first time we brought these kids into London, and it being a sunday night in January, we were a little concerned that no one would show up. But, the joint was packed and rockin' as Gruesomania had hit London and the boys were well recieved! Think they stayed for several days at our place after this show as we had lots of cartoons, junk food and videos for the boys to enjoy! The first of many many visits by The Gruesomes to this town and our place.

13. Light Bulb Alley....Money....recorded live at Call The Office 5/4/12 and these guys are now labelmates of The Gruesomes on Ricochet Sound from Montreal.

14. Bad Bad Bad....Fucked Up...recorded live at The Black Shire Pub 3/29/12 right after they came to visit us live on Radio What Wave....way cool 2 piece from Halifax!

15. Light Bulb Alley...Pepper Spray...recorded live at Call The Office 5/4/12 and this song is on the latest garagepunk hideout download, We Love Trash.

16. Das Furlines...Boys Are Boys....recorded live at Call The Office 6/5/86. Das Furlines were an all female combo from NYC who were basically a tribute to The Monks, the German band of X-US Army GI's from 1966. One of the wildest shows that involved total crowd participation and the conch!! You hadda be there!! This combo featured Fuzztone keyboard player Deb O'Nair as well as NYC crazy woman, Wendy Wild. And, this was the only time the band was recorded live...right here in sleepy London Ontario!! This was well before their appearance in People magazine and their bogus entry in the 1995 Rolling Stone Record Guide which had them coming from the Black Forest of Germany and releasing many many records. Nope, just a coupla compilation appearances.

17. Link Protrudi and The Jaymen....The Stroll...recorded live at Key West 9/25/86. Essentially The Fuzztones doing all instros ala Link Wray....

18. Boy From Nowhere....Lift Up Your Hood....recorded live at The Brunswick, probably early 90's. With a nice little intro regaling the finer points of The Brunswick Hotel, situated in downtown London, conveniently located across from the bus terminal. A demonic version of DMZ's tune done with sledgehammers to the head! Indeed, The Boy could rock with the best. Bassist Brian Young is currently a member of The Canadian Lyres touring band....they back up Monoman when he hops the border into Canada.

19. UIC....Cropdusting....recorded live at Call The Office 3/16/85. There's also a youtube of this song (as well as others from the same show) which features a bunch of youngsters dancing around like fools, self included! And yes, i still dance like a fool 27 years later! Below is Murray beating the living daylights out of his kit in front of the UIC flag!

20. The Diodes...Time Damage...recorded live at Call The Office 11/18/11. The second time the re-united Diodes have come to London and both times, excellent shows!!

21. The Hook Up....65 Has No Blues....recorded live at The Spoke 11/25/11 as part of CHRW's Wired Fridays.

22. The Fine Print...Remember....recorded live at Brennan's Beer Bistro 11/5/11. A GREAT local combo who don't play out enough.

23. Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet....Who's Afraid of Alison Hymer/Having An Average Weekend....recorded live at Call The Office 7/17/86. First ever appearance by this now legendary combo to London....a very typical London crowd...maybe 10 people out to see them. Listen to the lack of applause after Average, that's just me clapping. Luckily for sleepy London, this trio came back many times and packed the house!!

Outta time but only the tip of the iceberg for live recordings from London Ontario...hope you enjoyed the show. Thanx for all the phone-ins, emails, facebook comments etc! This one was a blast to prep, as i went through a ton of tapes, some that i was hoping to use didn't have the greatest sound quality and hence, were nicked from the show.

Here's the Radio What Wave playlist for The Cedar Lounge radio special aired 5/10/12 on CHRW 94.9 FM....links at the bottom for the podcast which is up for 1 week only.

You walk in the door, pay your $2 cover and you're home!!!

Playlist May 10/2012....our special on The Cedar Lounge as it closed down May 1/1982, being London's only exclusive punk/new wave/whatever club since late 1977 when Uranus chased out the bluegrass mafia and took it over. Big thanx to Jack and Frank of Uranus for getting us this venue which was a home for many of us outsiders/non conformists/outcasts of society.

Here's a link to our Cedar Lounge page on facebook which has lots of pics and comments....

This is was the outside of The Cedar Lounge...decorated with our fave bands!!

This show was almost all live recordings from The Cedar Lounge, the few that weren't are noted as such and fit into the time frame that The Cedar existed.

1. The Demics....New York City....from the first cassette of London based bands called Domestic Animals and recorded 12/21/79 at The Cedar.

2. Uranus...Shake Some Action...live recording at a car show in Toronto and was aired over CFNY approx May 1980. I don't have any live recordings of Uranus at The Cedar.

3. Teenage Head...Picture My Face...recorded off the airwaves of CHRW fall 1980 as this was a live to air from The Spoke And Rim (often this bootleg is referred to as the Spoke And Rimjob). I wasn't allowed into the event as i wasn't a student at Western so i stayed home and recorded it on my cassette deck. Opening for Teenage Head that evening were The Pointed Sticks (they also did a week gig at The Cedar) who were not overly happy about being given a very small part of the stage for their show and retaliated later that evening by flattening all of the tires on Teenage Head's truck.

4. The Stoves...Roller Coaster...from the cassette Domestic Animals and live at The Cedar 10/16/79. The first of many of the local bands that formed once the punk thing started happening here in London. This cassette was compiled by Peter Moore, who has since gone onto big things, producing Cowboy Junkies, remastering many re-issues for major bands and even doing movie and documentary soundtracks. He was a regular at The Cedar back then and recorded many bands with his styrofoam head with a microphone in each ear.
And getting back to the Domestic Animals cassette, that was released without any of the bands prior knowledge....suddenly a cassette appeared and bands were hearing themselves on CHRW and some were not happy!! Hence a little later, a cassette compilation appeared called Animals Fight Back! in which all of the bands involved contributed the songs that they wanted to appear on the cassette. September 1984 was the date of issue and we'll be hearing a song from this cassette a little later on...

5. NFG...Cowboy Rock...recorded somewhere, sometime. Pretty vague, but this and the next song were provided by bass player Bob Gliddon. This features original guitar player (and songwriter) Simon.

6. NFG...Weekend Punx....as above.

7. NFG....Johnny B Goode...recorded live at The Cedar Easter 1981 and recorded off the CHRW airwaves. I remember being at this show and singer Scott tossing out fistfulls of NFG buttons as it was supposedly the end of the band. This was probably played on Simon Less's (subtle nickname of Peter Moore who was removed from the airwaves a couple of times for something or other) CHRW show as he would play live material on his show back in the late 70's/early 80's and i'd have the tape deck ready.

8. First Date....Good In Bed...recorded live at The Cedar 10/15/81. NFG evolved into 63 Monroe, who evolved into First Date for a few shows and then went back to 63 Monroe. Does that make sense? Thought not. This was their first show under this name and ironically Rena and i were on one of our first dates at this show. This might have been recorded by Kerry Piper.

9. Certain General...Party In My Brain....recorded live at the Cedar 8/21/81. Certain General were from NYC and featured Londoner (and former B Girl) Marcy Saddy on the tubs. They drove all day from NYC, got out of their vehicle and hopped on stage at The Cedar and this show was for Doug and Roze's Stag And Doe!! It was a great party that night with lots of other bands that night. It was also the night that someone took up Marky Burnaway (63 Monroe guitarist) on his dare to be the first guy in London to cut their hair in a pink mohawk. Can't remember how much money Marky was going to put up, but i think it came down to a vial of hash oil that may have been consumed in the men's washroom at The Cedar. Oh ya, and the pink mohawk belonged to Rob Leclaire! Shoulda had a camera with me that night!! There was lots of other crazy action going on that night and i remember getting home after the sun came up, changing into my work clothes and going right into work hungover as a dog. Oh to be young again!

10. The Zellots....Soldiers....from the same night as above.

11. Forgotten Rebels....White Trash....from the CD The Forgotten Rebels and recorded by Paul Kobak in the fall/winter of 1980 at The Cedar. The Forgotten Rebels made their first of many appearances at The Cedar in the summer of 1980. After their first show there, someone (not me) went a bit crazy with spray bombs and decorated the local disco with swastikas on the windows beside the doors, left some impolite messages on the UIC (Unemployment Insurance office...where you went when you were looking for a job) wall and probably other locations. I didn't bother to go to bed that night and happened to be riding my bike around the next day, saw some of the lettering and captured it on film. Some of those pics appear on facebook....

Above...local disco hole with decorated windows...at one time these testosterone fused assholes would beat up on us punks.

12. Forgotten Rebels...I Think Of Her...as above. I remember Mickey giving me shit one show, and it was well justified. We were talking and Mickey was asking why there were so few people at the Cedar Lounge show and i told him that Carl Perkins was playing at Fryfogles that evening. Mickey proceeded to give me shit for missing this show and said that even he would have been there if he had known....hahaha...and i never did get to see Carl Perkins live.

13. Spiral Scratch...No Familiar Faces....recorded live at The Cedar 10/9/81. Spiral Scratch evolved from The Sinners (released 1 excellent 7") and singer Paul mentions the influx of metalheads into the scene at the beginning of this song....very true at the time.

14. Dead Rabbits...Watch Out...recorded live at The Cedar 10/9/81. Probably recorded on Kerry Piper's walkman as he was busy drumming in this combo.

15. Radio 4...Daytime/Night Time....recorded live at The Cedar 8/21/81. They started as The VD Teens, then Raw Dogs, then Radio 4 and eventually Sheep Look Up. A great local band that coulda and shoulda but didn't.

16. Radio 4...The Remedy....from the cassette compilation Animals Fight Back! An all London punk/new wave/whatever compilation mentioned above.

17. The Subhumans....Oh Canaduh!!! recorded live at the Cedar Lounge 6/12/81. Vancouver combo that was dearly loved in this town at the time as The Cedar was packed (or so i've been told) yet in Toronto, there were maybe 20 people out to see them at The Edge. I tried to talk to the band at The Edge show, but they were way pissed off about the situation. Oddly, The Edge closed its doors within days of this show.

18. Blue Peter....Same Old Place...recorded at Fryfogles 5/16/81. Blue Peter played many times at The Cedar but this is the only live recording i have of them. I remember being taken to Toronto to see Blue Peter open up for The Jam right around this time!

19. Simply Saucer...I Don't Care....me either, nor do i know where this was recorded, but it coulda been The Cedar Lounge as Simply Saucer played 5/16 to 5/19/79 at The Cedar. This recording was given to me by SS singer Edgar Breau when we had him on Radio WW a few years back.

20. 63 Monroe....Give 'Em Up...recorded on the last day of The Cedar Lounge, 5/1/82, recorded by sound guy Bob Klein and supplied to me by Danny Napalm.

21. Napalm Babys...Rock And Roll Part 3....as above. I didn't make it to the last day of The Cedar, i drank too much the night before and wasn't feeling well. And we really didn't think it would close it's doors for good, as it had closed for a short time prior to this. Oh well......

22. The Demics...The Grey and The Black...from the New York City CD on OPM..recorded live at The Cedar, but no date given. And that's a wrap as we end with the band we started this show with.
Hope you enjoyed this live at The Cedar Lounge special as it was a fun show to do, digging through loads of old tapes looking for the best sound quality.

And this is just a warm up for our big show coming up on Oct 26th....Underground Graphics London: 1977 to 1990. This will be a visual display of the posters/art/zines of the era and it will be housed at The Forest City Gallery. There will be an opening night party at APK where we get 4 bands from the era to reunite for one show only.....The Zellots, The Enemas, NFG and Uranus. It'll be a killer show, so don't miss this one.

Here's a link to the start of the web page for the event...big thanx to Compudata for setting this up for us:

Playlist May 3/2012.....The Rolling Stones Invade Treasure Island Gardens.

The true story of The Rolling Stones one time only visit to sleepy colonistic London Ontario on Apr 26/1965.  This was the only time ever, that a Rolling Stones show was stopped part way through due to a riot....and the show was not started again. True, there have been many riots (even deaths) at Rolling Stones shows, but this was the only time ever, that a show ended after approximately 15 minutes. Another thorn in sleepy London Ontario's ass.

1. Ed Rudy Radio Rolling Stones....started the show with the intro to Ed Rudy's radio show on The Rolling Stones. Originally aired on 10/23/64, the day prior to The Rolling Stones first (and controversial) appearance on stodgy old Ed Sullivan's show (more on this a little later).

This was The Rolling Stones 3rd American tour and first time they actually ventured into Canada. There were 4 dates in Canada; Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and finally London and from there they went to New York state for more shows. For the London show, tickets were $2.50 (tax included) and were available at Country Park Restaurant, 253 Dundas St.
Opening the show, were The Nottingham 3 from St Thomas Ontario, The Fortune Tellers, a top 40 band and J B and The Playboys from Montreal.

2. JB and The Playboys....One Love, Your Love

3. JB and The Playboys...Leave My Woman Alone.

For this show, The Rolling Stones were paid $10,000 and played for approximately 15m...and they got to party for the rest of the evening here in sleepy London Ontario.

Here's the actual set (with a couple of screwups as noted) that they played in London...I went through various live bootlegs to try and find the best version of each song. Thanx to Danny Husband (and his sister) for the pics...

4. The Rolling Stones...Everybody Needs Somebody To Love....from an 8/30/65 BBC session.

5. The Rolling Stones....Around and Around....live on Ed Sullivan 10/25/64

6. The Rolling Stones...Time Is On My Side....live on Ed Sullivan 10/25/64. This was the band's first ever appearance on Ed's show and probably the first exposure for most North Americans to the band. Ed was appalled by the band, here's a quote from The Rolling Stones: Complete Recording Sessions; "Adult American TV viewers were alarmed at this seeming riot in their own homes and gradually the pressure mounted. Ed Sullivan, anxious to reaffirm his prestige, denied responsibility that he had anything to do with the booking of The Stones. He was shocked by the performance and vowed to cancel all future rock and roll acts. He claimed that his show had been built up over 17 years and he did not want it broken up by such unruly behaviour. They were not like that other British act, The Dave Clark Five- such nice gentlemen!"

7. The Rolling Stones...Pain In My Heart...from the Now LP...this should have been the 2nd song in the set, but I screwed up.

8. The Rolling Stones...Good Times...from the 12 X 5...another screwup, this song wasn't supposed to be played, but i couldn't count the night of this show.

9. The Rolling Stones...It's All Over Now...from 12X5...and yes, this song should have been played.

10. The Rollings Stones...Off The Hook...from Now LP....this song was never finished. What happened according to eye witness's, is that the snow fence (yes, snow fence, after all this is sleepy London Ontario) that separated the band from the 3000 fans, either broke down or was pushed over by 2 young girls. Doesn't really matter, it was a snow fence, and how was that going to contain 3000 screaming rabid fans all wanting to touch Brian Jones immaculate hair?
When the snow fence went down, the police ordered the stage power to be cut, hence the instruments would no longer be audible (were they actually audible before that???). And at this point a portion of the crowd rushed the stage to meet and greet their idols.

Here's Bill Wyman's take on the situation (from Rolling With The Stones by Bill Wyman) " The Stones went onstage about 8:30PM and played to about 3000 fans, many had driven from Detroit and gave the band a great reception. Things were going fine until the police cut off the power midway through the set. " The Police just created an antagonistic atmosphere" Bill told the London Free Press on Apr 27, 1965. " These kids were just enjoying themselves, the police acted in a typical small town way. They just panicked'. Mick said 'Our instruments wouldn't work and the place was dark, there was a riot, but it wasn't our fault. We're always the ones to get the blame"."

From here I played some Rolling Stones bootleg recordings from that era, some of them have titles that fit the scene...

11. The Rolling Stones...Don't Lie To Me...10/11 June 1964 Chess sessions.

12. The Rolling Stones...Last Time...from the Got Live LP.

13. The Rolling Stones...Roll Over Beethoven...10/5/63 BBC session and The Stones first ever radio session.

14. The Rolling Stones...I Get Around...Beach Boys song, possibly west coast recording with Phil Spector??? The guitar is quite recognizable as Keith.

15. The Rolling Stones...No Expectations....RSVP bootleg...the sound quality of this is superior to the actual released copy of Beggar's Banquet in my collection. The clarity and dynamic range of this bootleg is just phenomenal and I'd highly recommend it if you dig this era of The Stones!

Now we get into the Canadian bands that have opened for The Stones over the years...among them; JB and The Playboys, The Staccatos, Esquires, David Clayton Thomas and The Shays, The Rogues, The Band, Canadian Legends, Steppenwolf, April Wine and we'll start with the best, the band often referred to as the Canadian Rolling Stones, The Ugly Ducklings.

16. Ugly Ducklings...Just In Case...from a 7" with one of the most devasting fuzz guitar sounds on record.

17. The Ugly Ducklings...She Ain't No Use To Me...again, from a 7".

18. The Ugly Ducklings...I Wish You Would...from the 1980 self titled LP. This LP was a mixture of LP cuts and unreleased versions to cash in on the burgeoning punk scene in Toronto.

19. The Ugly Ducklings...Nothin'...from the Somewhere Outside LP...if the Ducks had recorded nothing but this song, they would still be legends today! A pure garagepunk anthem that so many bands have recorded over the years.

Many years ago, I was told the story about The Ugly Ducklings opening for The Rolling Stones at Maple Leaf Gardens. It was the first time for the Ducks to be playing at such a huge venue and curiosity got the best of rhythm guitarist Glynn Bell. He peaked through the curtain to have a look at the crowd and the crowd went ballistic!! Due to his near perfect Brian Jones coif, the crowd thought it was Brian peaking through the crowd!!

20. David Clayton Thomas  and The Shays...Take Me Back....DC and The Shays opened in Toronto on The Stones first Canadian tour.

21. David Clayton Thomas...Done Somebody Wrong...from the self titled LP. DCT came to Western 9/22/2009 to give a talk on the anniversary of Woodstock, at which his combo, Blood Sweat and Tears played at. He didn't recall a lot about it, as at the time it was just like any other gig...but he did talk about some of his early days starting out in Toronto. And I did get to shake his hand and get some of my early DCT LP's autographed!

22. The Esquires...It's A Dirty Shame.

23. The Rogues...Girl.

24. Ronnie Hawkins...Hey Bo Diddly...1958 recording featuring Levon Helms who passed away 2 weeks ago. Levon was in The Band who opened for The Stones.

25. Ronnie Hawkins....Who Do You Love...again, featuring members of The Band and our quick trib to Levon Helm.

Hope you enjoyed this one, it was a TON of fun going through hours and hours of Rolling Stones bootlegs, books, websites (there's a lot of misinformation out on the internet) and talking to a few people who remembered this event.

Here's a link to the podcast, which is up for 1 week only:

Playlist April 19/2012

This show goes out to Dick Clark who passed away the day prior to this edition, and Levon Helm who passed away mere hours before airtime...Levon played many shows here in London Ontario back in the late 50's as part of Ronnie Hawkins Band.

1. The Dictators...Who Will Save Rock'n'Roll?...from the DFFD LP, last studio LP by The Dictators. To answer the question, not me, that's for damn sure cause i sure wish they never taught the band to play Sgt Pepper. The Dictators played London Ontario on Saturday June 1, 2002 to about 50 strong. Manitoba (most of The Dictators) play London tonite.

2. The Martinets...I Don't Follow...from the CD love!hate! which features Daniel Rey on guitar and vocals. He's also in Manitoba for tonight's show. Check your Ramones LP's to see his name in the credits.

3. Manitoba...Haircut And An Attitude...from the ...And You? CD 1990 MCA Records.

4. The Dictators...Cars and Girls...from the 1975 LP Go Girl Crazy! One of my fave Dictators tunes and this used to be covered by local hipsters, The Boy From Nowhere.

5. Legend Killers...Had It Comin'...from the We're Workin' On It CD from 2006. A cover of a Manitoba song done by the only band that has appeared on every What Wave compilation cassette and record...think that's 13 releases not including the above CD and the Better Than Hammerin' 7".

6. 63 Monroe....Bad Bad Rock'n'Roll...from their latest 7" and they are opening for Manitoba.

7. Nihilst Spasm Band...This Is A Test...from their CD with the title made up of funny characters. Local noise troupe that has been playing since the mid 60's and are literally big in Japan!! It's a great song to segue into a live tune....

8. catl...Thunderbird ESQ...recorded live at Call The Office 3/16/2012....a cover of a Gories tune done for me. catl return to Call The Office May 12th, a show you don't want to miss.

9. The Hook Up...Burnin'...latest demo from this Montreal trio who are moving out west shortly. Drummer Josh Peters is leaving the band as he's getting hitched soon..here's Josh in his own words:
Hey Dave,

So with Dave and Jaime leaving for Saskatoon in June, and my wedding in June, I played my last show with The Hook Up tonight. It was excellent, and possibly our best sounding show in Montreal, ever, period.

I just wanted to tell you that the only reason we ever went anywhere, as far as I'm concerned, is because you vouched for us, pushed us and encouraged us, broadcast us, and recorded us. I've had a great time, and played nothing but excellent shows (really!), even if the money wasn't good and the crowds were sparse sometimes. I always had a great time on stage with The Hook Up, and you're the reason we ever got out of our jam space and on the road.

So thank you!

As for me, I'm getting married, and then I'm looking for another band to terrorize. Maybe I'll see you in London at a show!

Best, and thanks again!

Josh Peters

Me again....Thanx Josh....you can't see me, but i'm blushing...and had a BLAST everytime The Hook Up came to London, Ontario!!!

10. The Fleshtones...American Beat 84...from the 12" of the same name and The Fleshtones name check scads of US based combos who are not only influential, but have played on Dick Clark's Bandstand as this is the start of our little tribute to the world's oldest teenager! And yes, The Fleshtones did play on American Bandstand!

11. The Beat...Rock'n'Roll Girl...from the 1979 LP The Beat. When Paul Collins played London back in 2009 as part of our Evening of PowerPop show at Moon Over Marin, Paul said that playing on American Bandstand was his career highlight!! And he mentioned how great Dick Clark was to the band interviewing them live on TV!

12. Freddy Cannon...Tallahassee Lassie...from the Explosive! LP. Another frequent guest on American Bandstand many years ago. We did get to see Freddy Cannon in the mid 80's doing a show at the Western Fair here in London and he was fantastic!! Opened up for Chubby Checker whom we walked out on as Freddy was SO much better!!

13. Light Bulb Alley...Pepper Spray...from the brand new Garagepunk Hideout Compilation CD, We Love Trash. And Light Bulb Alley will be in town on saturday night at Brennan's Beer Bistro here in town as part of our big show!

24. Florida Razors...New York Screamin'...from the Half A Rock'n'Roll Record 12' which is exactly that, one side has songs, the other, etchings. Florida Razors were an early 80's to late 80's Hamilton Ontario based rock'n'roll combo who leaned in the Stones/Flamin' Groovies direction. Leader Tom Wilson has since been in Junkhouse, Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, Lee Harvey Osmond and solo since these days, and always puts on an entertaining and sweaty show! Check your early What Wave zines for interviews/articles on Florida Razors.

25. Florida Razors...She Like To Dance...from the Beat Music LP. Played the Florida Razors as they seem to have been forgotten and certainly don't deserve to be.

26. Radio 4...I Don't Wanna Go To New York City....early 80's demo by this London based combo and we had to cut it short for In The Red which follows us here on CHRW....2.5 hours of rock'n'roll!!

Next week on Radio What Wave, Apr 26th marks the 47th anniversary of The Rolling Stones playing their only show here in London Ontario. It took place at the Treasure Island Gardens (later named London Gardens, then The Ice House and now it is a velodrome) which is way down in the south end of London, past the end of public transit routes. And what was so special about this show, it's the ONLY Rolling Stones show that never finished due to a riot!!! Yep, sleepy London teenagers went berserk when Brian gave them the grin through his perfect blonde bowl!!! So we're gonna play the full Rolling Stones set from that show....all 6 or 7 songs before the riot ended the show. Apr 26 1965.

Here's the link to listen to the archived show:

Played this as i watched a movie called 'It Might Get Loud' about 3 guitar players, Jack White, Jimmy Page and the dumbfuck from U2. Jack White sites Dex Romweber and Flat Duo Jets as a huge influence and played some of his fave blues records. Jimmy Page paid homage to Link Wray and explained how Link's tone got him so into guitars. Hence we played some Link and Dex Romweber on this show...but no U2, never on this show.

16. Hopelessy Obscure...Everything She Says Is Cryptic...from the self titled 12" on Majestic Records from 1984. We got to see The Hopelessly Obscure at the Rat in Boston around this time, and they were insane!! Opened for Plan 9 and they were obviously the biggest fans of Plan 9 at the show!

10. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners...Willing And Ready...from the Crazy Date LP.

14. Orangie Ray Hubbard....Is She Sore?..from the Cincinnati Rock and Roll 1950's Compilation LP that i picked up at the record show....Ya, it's the same fucking song that The Customs did back in 1979 that i'm listening to as i type this out. Fucking Customs rule and i always thought Is She Sore? was an original Customs tune.
