GUITAR ARMY
BENEFIT FOR DETROIT-AREA VIETNAM VETERANS
HARPO'S, DETROIT, MI, USA
APRIL 1985
B'CAST ON WLLZ, DETROIT
FM>CASSETTE (UNKNOWN LINEAGE)
ALL ARTISTS PERFORM WITH THE "WHEELS GUITAR ARMY" AN ALL-STAR BAND OF DETROIT BAR BAND MUSICIANS, EXCEPT MITCH RYDER WHO PLAYS WITH THE DETROIT WHEELS (JIM MCCARTY, JOHNNY BADANJEK, ROBERT GILLESPIE, MARK GOUGEON, BILLY CSERNITS). LONGTIME DETROIT DJ, DOUG PODELL IS THE HOST OF THE SHOW. THIS IS AN AMAZING NIGHT OF MUSIC. IT'S GOOD SOUNDING FM, BUT WITH TAPE HISS/NOISE IN EVIDENCE. IT DOESN'T KEEP IT FROM BEING REALLY ENJOYABLE, AND AS MC PODELL EMPHATICALLY SAYS: "YOU DON'T GET THIS EVERY DAY!!" THIS IS THE WHOLE SHOW EXCEPT THERE WAS A RANDY CALIFORNIA SEGMENT THAT I NEVER GOT, AND ANOTHER SONG BY CHARLIE ALLEN MARTIN. CHARLIE ALSO DID A STAGE-DIVING SOMERSAULT OUT OF HIS WHEELCHAIR, WHICH PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE STILL TALK ABOUT.
