Notes

The US Festival, Memorial Day Weekend 1983, was probably the most important North American rock festival after Woodstock and Monterey. The first of two US Festivals were held a year earlier during the '82 Labor Day weekend. They were the brainchild and subsequent creation of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who wanted to put on an event that would spotlight both music and technology, and he backed his idea with the money to make it happen. 

This program consists of 18 records, with a complete playing time of 12 hours. There are 36 actual "segments", with a segment being equivalent to one side of an LP. In addition to the live material listed, which contains 23 of the 26 acts that performed over the 3 days (The Clash, David Bowie and Los Lobos, who DID perform that weekend, do NOT appear here for whatever reasons). The program also includes interviews with many of the performers, stage announcements, narration and commentary by several radio announcers and radio commercials. This does NOT have the complete sets of any of the acts, with most being 4 or 5 songs, and a couple with 6 or 7 songs. See The Play List.

This Westwood One show was broadcast one year later during Memorial Day Weekend 1984. The set is not in the same themed order that the weekend was... New Wave Day, Heavy Metal Day, and Rock Day... the show mixes them up. A 15 page cue sheet was originally sent out to radio stations with the LP's listing the various tracks, interviews, commercials, etc... This is included in this complete and Official Set. Also includes the "Affidavit of Performance" sheet which in typical Rock N Roll fashion was never filled out and given to radio management.  This is the most complete and best condition set out there at this time. My cousin worked at a Rock format radio station in Los Angeles as an intern during his college days when this was originally broadcast. He gave it to me as a gift 8 years later. I have had it stored in it's original packaging ever since. Awesome find for the serious collector of 80's Rock memorabilia. Good Luck and enjoy.
