| Comments: | Really cool station back in '74 or so. we would sit back on the school grounds in Shakopee mn. at "the corner" where cornfields surrounded us and smoke and drink beer. @ midnight it would come on the airwaves! that is an awesome memory. |

| Comments: | I was one of those kids, a bit younger than you, who hung out with his buddies "camping out" in my parents travel trailer that was parked in our backyard, tuning in to Beaker Street, like we were on to something forbidden...we were too young for drugs or alcohol, back then it was quite a deal for us to camp out in the trailer on the weekends, drinking dr. pepper, eating junk food, reading Mad Magazines and looking at the girlie mags we either somehow swiped from the local newsstand or convenience store or one of our dad's playboy mags we would somehow sneak out. Tuned in on a big old multi-band radio of my dad's listening to WLS out of Chicago and KOAI from San Antonio until Clyde would come on the Mighty 1090...and the lights would go down in the trailer just enough to check out the girlie rags and for us guys to just lay around and talk. Memories. Thanks for sharing this show and your tribute..would love to hear some air checks of your own show...I am now living in San Jose, CA... |

| Comments: | Cactus opened for Ted Nugent at Memorial Hall... billed as "The Battle of the Feedback Guitars" because they came on stage together in a finale to battle it out. Also didn't see the Arrowhead lineup of Black Oak, Todd Rundgren, and Nitty Gritty...not sure of the dates on either but they were late seventies. |

| Comments: | Springsteen played the first time at Memorial Hall in 1975. Zeppelin played KC only twice I believe, in November 1969 and in August of 1970. After the 1970 concert, it was reported they said they'd never return to our city. In the following years they played St. Louis numerous times and always skipped KC. Don't know what the problem was. |

| Comments: | Steve, Thanks for the post. According to my sources on the web, the concert with April Wine at Municipal occured on December 8, 1979. Also, I found that the November '78 Memorial Hall concert had The Babys as opening act not Morningstar. The Styx/Morningstar concerts were in September of 1977. I've updated the page accordingly. Needless to say, Styx has played Kansas City very many times. Bob |

| Comments: | I've just now discovered this site. It's brilliant. I've researched many old shows in town but there are about a dozen on here that I can't believe I've never heard of... Of course I spotted a couple of errors as far as dates, duplicates, etc. but I'm guessing that a lot of these are from random people like me emailing you about shows that they attended. For instance, the first concert I attended was Styx at Municipal Auditorium in 1978, and the support band was April Wine. It wasn't at Kemper and although they supported them a few times earlier, Morningstar was not there. Cheers |

| Comments: | A question, I have been trying for years to find out the name of a song heard on WNEW fm around 1972-73 with part of the lyrics being " give me a ticket to the central line" I think. It was a male singer and had a heavy fuzz guitar in and out of it. If anyone knows I been trying for 30 years to figure it out. Also I still have my ticket from woodstock $7.00 Sunday Aug. 17 1969 10:00 AM. |

| Comments: | Lived in Atchison, Kansas at the time. I played lead guitar in a band in high school. Only saw two concerts while in high school before I moved to Oklahoma. Both concerts were in KC. First was Jimi Hendrix in 1968 with Quicksilver Messenger Service. Poster is wrong. May have supposed to have been whoever was Cat Mother, but not who played. I went home and immediately bought the album and learned to play Pride of Man. Second concert was Iron Butterfly with The Grateful Dead in 1969. Moved to Oklahoma after graduated from high school in May, 1969. |

| Comments: | Just a couple of things, I attended several of the events listed, but their are a couple corrections and additions. The Jethro Tull concert I went to (the first of several) was right after Auqualung came out and it was at Memorial Hall in KCKS. It was General Admission and we got seats down front stage left. I beleive you've got it at Cowtown Ballroom. I don't recall the group coming twice that year but if they did, you need to add that event. If it just once. Then the venue listed is wrong. We saw them the following year at Municipal Auditorium after Thick as a Brick was released. The Eagles were not very well received by the crowd and the Eagles expressed their displeasure. They were just becoming known at that point. Also in the winter of '72 the Allman Brothers Band was at Municipal Audiotrium. We had great seats for that one too. I can't remember who they were with I don;t recal if at that time the second death had yet occurred in the band. But they were quite the show |

| Comments: | From 1971 through 1973 when I was in High School, KAAY Beaker Street was the biggest thing happening for me during that period. As a musician, that is where I first heard my favorite music. The station would fade in and out and could only be caught at night. Every campout was centered around Beaker Street and occassionaly Beaker Theater. I would love to have recordings of those old broadcast! |

After deciding to return to college (and getting a real job) Rick Backus assumed my job as manager of the Pro Shop in the Freedom Palace...and what a ride the Palace was...lots of stories there! Does anyone know what happened to Mike_____ the photographer at the palace? He had an incredible folio of the palace.) Some of the bands played the Palace that were listed at Memorial. When I was managing Backwood Memory (remember those great guys?) we opened and toured with some of the bands of that time. We played a number of jobs with Kansas...great era the late sixties early 70's !!! |

| Comments: | In case you'd like to add it to your list, I can tell you that Steppenwolf played Municipal Auditorium on Feb 22, 1969. The opening band was KC's own, and my buddies, The Mystic Number National Bank. I have my ticket stub from that concert so I'm certain of the date. In 1971 and 1972 I worked at KUDL and saw many concerts, but I have no idea of the dates, but people like James Brown, Bobby Womack, Billy Preston, all did shows in KC. I'll dig around some when I get a chance and see if I can get you any more info on any of them. The only other one I have a stub from was my first concert and your first listed one, The Beatles on 9/17/64. I was in Row G of the lower grandstand for $4.50. Wish I could see a show today for $4.50! |

The initial advertising for the concert misled me to believe that Steely Dan was gonna be there. Am I mistaken or did I do too many drugs back then? |

Now back around that time I seen Yes twice (Both times I was like on the 2nd or 3rd row/Center , because of having a friend that was employed at Capers Corners)Anyway, one of these yes concerts was "In The Round" and that one was NOT the Yes Concert that had Donovan open. But in 77 he was on the bill with yes and not shown ubove. Thanks From Tom |

Then I switched to 1090 and could pick up Clyde Clifford on K A A Y. that resonant call letter announcement and Clydes voice made the night a very groovy experience. I also remember Beaker Street Theatre when they would run radio dramas...what a cool thing to do!!!!! I truly miss the show and Clyde and it's a shame that young people today can't appreciate or get the chance to listen to the kind of shows we did. |

| Comments: | (part II) enjoyed the music with an evening breeze and our feet on the railing. Also, Frampton played in KC (again?)in 78 at Royal's stadium. I wasnt in KC in summer '77. Did the entire 'Comes Alive'set. Sounded awesome outdoors, just like the album! I was on the field, about 5 people from the stage, dead center, on a friend's shoulders. I had wanted to try to get the same seats as had for Chicago but was glad my friends insisted we go onto the field. We could watch Frampton's fingers and make eye contact with him. Some really great memories. Thanks again!! |

| Comments: | Thank you! Thank you! Your list helped me to remember several concerts I had forgotten and what bands played together. Like I knew I had seen Santana, Eagles, Steve Miller at an outdoor Summer Jam type concert, but couldnt remember if same concert or different and who else played. I do have two corrections/additions. In 1973 I saw Chicago at Royal's Stadium, for sure. It was my first concert and there were 7 of us 13-year-olds. Someone's mom drove us there in her restored yellow convertable with white leather seats and big tail fins with the top down. We got there several hours early to get good seats because it was general admission no less. As we sat waiting in the early afternoon heat with everyone at the gate, someone asked what time it was. The crowd cheered when two different answers were shouted out: "25 or 6 to 4"and "Does anybody really care what time it is?" We managed to get front row seats right behind the dug out on first base side and enjoyed the music with an eveni |

| Comments: | Excellent quick summary of Beaker Street. We were in our early 20s back in the early 70s and LOVED Beaker Street!. Every Saturday night if we couldn't pick up the signal at someone's house, we'd all jump into our cars and drive down to the shores of lake michigan where typically we'd get lucky and listen until 2:00a.m. Of course then we'd stay tuned for Beaker Theatre. Did Doc Holiday eve guest host for Clyde? I want to say he did the show for awhile but like everyone else...memory fade. Thanks for the tip on the current Beaker Street on Sundays. I'm going to try it. And thanks for keeping these amazinf memories alive. |

| Comments: | Thank you for this history. Born and bred in KC, these first two stations especially KCJC meant a great deal to me. They turned me on to Frank Zappa, and Blues music which later on I kind of made of living at. I remember DJ's Bill Sites or Sikes and of course the legendary Little Willy. What a shame that these stations did not last. KKFI kind captures a little of that magic but of course times change and these stations were certainly products of that brief stint of hippiedom in our little cowtown. But hey, nothin wrong with a little bittersweet nostalgia from time to time. What ever happened to some of those DJ's. I'd just love to say thanks. Mark DuFresne |

Thanks for introducing me to all those wonderful artists and songs. AM up there sucked at that time. Thanks agian, Gary |

| Comments: | We couldn't wait to turn the AM radio on riding around after a few. It was a golden memory from growing up then. Just like watching Esay Rider and hearing about Dennis Hopper. Just like the Warehouse in new Orleans - nothing like it. Growing up in the 70's was great. I was born in 55 and will make 55 this year. Love my 70's rock and my Cajun heritage. |

| Comments: | Man, this was a great site to find. I too grew up on KAAY and the Underground Radio of Mr. Clyde Clifford...between 1969-1972, when the show went off the air...during the summers my best friends and I would "camp out" in my parents travel trailer parked in the back of our property. With minimal lighting and a radio with not only AM, but FM and all those other bands..some big old radio of my dads...the four of us buddies...all between the ages of 9-12 would hang out and listen to the mysterious radio show and the cool music...unheard of on the AM....and we had NO FM stations at all that could penetrate the Ozark foothills of my hometown....it was so cool...looking at stashes of Playboy we had swiped from somebodies dad...jammin...playing cards.....we recorded a lot on a small panasonic cassette player...random bits of pieces of audio of us in the background while the tunes played...i still have a couple somewhere...anyway, it definitely influenced my life and I tune in as often as I c |

I'd fall asleep and sometimes wake up and listen to Beaker Theater. I also listened to KWTO AM out of Springfield. At 8 or 9 o'clock they switched from their country music programing to rock and they signed off at mid night with Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner. Beaker Street was very influential in my musical interests. First heard Alice Cooper, REO Speedwagon and numerous others I can not recall. I am now 51 yrs. old. |

Lost lots of sleep listening until 2 AM, as I recall, and then Beaker Theater afterwards. I remember The Little Barn as a sponsor of Beaker Street. Thanks for exposing all of us to Zappa, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Everything is Everything, Deep Water Reunion, King Crimson, Canned Heat, Grand Funk Railroad and all the rest. My tastes in music have grown to include Classical, but I'll always love the music of my teens and twenties, and Clyde Clifford was a huge part of that. Thank you, Clyde, for all the great music and memories! |

| Comments: | Beaker Street, Hopefully Clyde will read this! On spring break of 1970, my senior year in high school, 5 of my best friends and I went on a 10 day fishing trip from Des Moines to Bull Schoals lake in Arkansas. We were a, not so famous, garage band but had alot of fun anyway. On one of those 10 days, 4 of the 6 of us drove south from Bull Schoals to Little Rock to meet Clyde. KAAY was voted the #1 listened too radio station at our school, Roosevelt High in Des Moines, Iowa so we wanted to meet "The Main Man" of Beaker Street. We went to the radio station downtown that afternoon and was told that Clyde was not there. He does his show at the transmitter which we finally found about 10:00 that night way out in the middle of nowhere. To this day, I still remember looking upward at the broadcast tower that night and it was illuminated, just like in the movie "American Graphitti". We were there from 11PM until 2AM. Clyde was gracious enough to dedicate many songs from us to our buddies |

I have a good memory of the years and events, but could not remember specific dates. Unfortunately, I don't have ticket stubs or other documentation since a flood took them. I was at the Moody Blues at Memorial Hall around the same time as the concert you have listed. It was fabulous! Did they do two concerts at that time? I have not looked online for their concert history yet. Thanks!! Brian |

It looks like 12/4/1977 is the date although there was no mention of Dr. Hook. Jessi Colter sang for a long time. I'm Not Lisa is the only song I can remember she did that was worth listening to. Waylon made it on stage to sing a part of a song or two and then retired due to a sore throat (we figured he was stoned). Dr. Hook came on about an hour later and they were all stoned. Everytime they'd sing a song (they were mooning the audience) a thousand people would leave. After a shortened set the place was empty. |

| Comments: | Clyde/Dale, I was a listener in those early days of yesteryear. Out there in the rest of the listening world, you were the only ones doing it, at least outside NYC and LA? I don't need to reiterate all this. You already know! Keep it going. |

| Comments: | Being a musician for forty years this program influenced me greatly.being 13years old in 1968 I would look forward to tuning in KAAY and listening to Clyde give me an underground music education. Man I miss those days, Old Clyde was every thing cool in the world and I had to be there every night at 11:00 . |

| Comments: | I remember well listening to Beaker Street from about 1970 to 1972. I waited anxiously for the program and I learned what music really could be: Its a Beautiful Day, Mason Proffit, Grateful Dead,Jaimie Brockett,etc. I even eventually was able to get a copy of Cindy's Crying by Barbara Rainey. All that music brings back some wonderful memories of an exciting time. Thanks so much to Clyde Clifford! |

| Comments: | The Grateful Dead opened for the Iron Butterfly on the evening of 2/5/1969 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas Grand Funk and Bloodrock was April 20 1970 not 1971. I still have the ticket stub...Pink Floyd was set to open but cancelled due to equipment theft in New Orleans two days prior to the show |

| Comments: | I was one of the people who ran the old Freedom Palace along with Dave Cirotto, Buckwheat Bauer, Jimmy Loschke, and Bob Barton. We all lived in a place called "Summit House" (3621 Summit on the Southwest Trafficway) Other bands - all in 1970 that played at Freedom Palace include Grand Funk Railroad,Johnny Winter Band (with Rick Derringer) (October, I think) It's a Beautiful Day, BB King (June, I think) Country Joe & Fish (FP in November 1970, not Mem. Hall 71, and)Sly and the Family Stone. Mountain played at Freedom Palace, not Memborial Hall - I know, I picked them up at the old airport in my hearse. Felix and Leslie were not amused. The group Kansas made a mid-week free concert Mid-week debut at Freedom Palace in summer of 1970. That's enough for now. P.S. One of the greatest shows I ever saw that led to us planning Freedom Palace as a concert hall was in fall of 1969 - Fleetwood Mac (w/ Kirwin, Green, and Spencer) with Jethro Tull and Joe Cocker as the two other bands.
