Notes:
* Audio Quality: Good/Very Good
* This is not a first generation of the pre fm masters by the looks/sounds of it, 2nd or 3rd gen cassette taken from the reels would be my guess. That's also based on having seen/heard either first generation, or first generation cassette of the KSAN pre-fm reels.
* This recording has been bootlegged an unknown number of times.
* This is from Terry's live FM broadcast show collection, but someone else created it from what sounds like a cassette made from the pre-fm tapes. However, to make it easier to find as part of the THTP series we're still calling it a THTP release (for search purposes). But thanks to whoever created this one!

* Stiv Bators RIP 1990 (from being hit by a taxi, of all things!!)

* About the Dead Boys:
"Dead Boys are an American punk rock band from Cleveland, Ohio. The band was among the first wave of punk bands, and was known as one of the rowdiest and most violent punk groups of the era. Dead Boys were formed by vocalist Stiv Bators, lead guitarist Cheetah Chrome, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Zero, bassist Jeff Magnum, and drummer Johnny Blitz in 1976, splintering off from the band Rocket From The Tombs. They released two studio albums, Young Loud and Snotty and We Have Come for Your Children.
...
Dead Boys evolved out of the band Rocket From The Tombs and were originally called Frankenstein. When the band members relocated to New York City in July 1976, they adopted the Dead Boys moniker which came from the RFTT song "Down In Flames".
Moving to New York City at the encouragement of Joey Ramone, the Ramones' lead singer, the Dead Boys quickly gained notoriety for their outrageous live performances. Lewd gestures and profanity were the norm. On more than one occasion, lead singer Stiv Bators slashed his stomach with his mic stand. Such antics reportedly discouraged the development of a mainstream rock following despite the relative breadth of their material beyond pure punk. They frequently played at the rock club CBGB (the band was briefly managed by club owner Hilly Kristal)[4] and in 1977 they released their debut album, Young, Loud and Snotty, produced by Genya Ravan. Their song "Sonic Reducer" is often regarded as one of the classics of the punk genre, with AllMusic calling it "one of punk's great anthems.""

* About Old Waldorf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Waldorf
"Old Waldorf was a music venue located in San Francisco, California. The famous club was located at 444 Battery St, and was originally opened by Jeffrey Pollack in 1976 before selling it to Bill Graham who closed it in 1983. During its time Old Waldorf hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry, such as AC/DC, Dire Straits, Blue Öyster Cult, Iggy Pop, Blondie, Rory Gallagher, Metallica, Pat Benatar, R.E.M., Spirit, Poco, U2 and Dead Kennedys.
The Punch Line comedy club now occupies part of Old Waldorf's location.".
Note: 444 Battery Street (at Washington St.) is about 6 blocks from the location of the Mabuhay Gardens (at Broadway & Montgomery/Kearny), which was in a much seedier part of town (The Famous Carol Doda Condor Strip bar was right by the Fab Mab, on the corner of Broadway and Columbus). But the Old Waldorf was situated right in the heart of the downtown business district, which tended to be completely empty at night after the business crowd had left, so these two venues were very different in feel.
Terry: "The Punch Line was always on the one side of the Old Waldorf building. Jeffrey owned it also. He let me mix shows there a few times when there was no comedy going on that night so I could have some isolation."

* "Hey, baby, this ain't Jerry Garcia up here, you'd better calm down!"
* "C'mon.. let's get our leisure suits dirty here tonight, alright?" - probably a reference to what a clean somewhat upscale club the Old Waldorf was.

No distribution in lossy formats!!

Yes sharing. Definitely share.

Support the artists when or if they play, and buy their records/merchandise.

Please correct any errors or oversights in this information in the comments section so the information can be as accurate as possible.

If you can find related materials like flyers, posters, ticket stubs, even photos, etc, please add them in a comment and I will add them to the main release folder, so that can be included on the next re-seeding. Every bit is welcome, and as I am time constrained on this project due to the amount of material, I cannot spend as much time on each release doing research as I would like, so if we can add to and improve the information and release contents during this series, that would be great.

Please make an effort to pick at least one of these THTP releases and keep it seeded for as long as you can, particularly the lesser known groups. That will really help out long term.

===========================================================

These are not Terry Hammer Mixing board/AUD recordings. These were recorded off of FM radio either by him, or by other people, and in a few cases, are sourced from pre-FM tapes.

Terry recommends these recordings very highly. The radio stations (like KSAN) recorded these with a full sound truck, and very high end gear, so the sound is usually very good quality.

===========================================================

Note on sources:
FM - recorded using an FM tuner to cassette deck.
Pre-FM - source tapes were from the pre-broadcast tapes.

Note on quality:
Because these FM and PreFM shows come from a variety of sources, and have various qualities, I will list the relative qualities of each 2xxx series release.  These qualities refer ONLY to the actual audio quality, not to the performances.
* Excellent - sounds/looks like a first generation master, no degradation of sound, full frequency range.
* Very good - 2nd gen or maybe lower bias cassette used to record.
* Good - audible hiss or dropouts, likely higher generation.
* Fair - sounds ok, but has audio issues, either high gen, errors in processing, whatever.
* Poor - does not sound good, for whatever reason.
