Remastered and blogged it ages ago! :)
more notes from the show:
"Indochinese Refugee Concerts." This event had several big names involved.
Blue Oyster Cult, Todd Rundgren headlined the event.
Former New York Doll's frontman David Johansen (The Johansen Group)
and guitarist Rick Derringer (who had just finished his own show over at 'My Father's Place')
Todd introduces Meat Loaf at the beginning of track 11. Mr Loaf joins in on 2 songs.
Funny enough that 'Johnny B. Goode' is dedicated to John Denver, not sure why.
There was also Patti Smith who came out and performed during each set.
She performed the broadway Annie classic 'Tomorrow' and apparently the crowd reacted rudely.
Patti came out again later with a version of 'Gloria' and 'Rock n Roll Nig*er'.
Unfortunately none of her performances were broadcast.
The bonus material is from the late show. We have Rick Derringer on guitar joining in.
We also have David Johansen doing 'Funky But Chic' and 'Frenchette'.
Along with Blue Oyster Cult performing a 9 song set, we only get 2 of those songs here.
'Stairway To The Stars' and 'Don't Fear The Reaper'.
