Cool. Very few radio stations like that then (or now).Yea TIP, Deodato - don't know if I have ever posted this one before or not, this is the live version of "Superstrut" from the Mississippi River Festival back in 1974. I used to hear it on KTCL Ft Collins a lot:

Yea TIP, back in the mid to late 70's, through the early 80's they were fabulous. KTCL was a privately owned,100,000W beacon of pure musical ecstasy. The DJ's played what they liked, be it blues, jazz, acoustic, reggae, obscure R&R, country rock, etc etc. They were a delight to listen to, and that really doesn't do them justice. They even did their own commercials most of the time. The owner finally sold them out to some commercial outfit around 1983 or so, and that was that. The only thing that comes close to them today is Sirius's "Deep Tracks" channel, it's good, but it's not at the KTCL level. I'm just glad my ears had "exposure" to them back in those days.

Back in those days, mu little 11 transistor radio would gleefully pull in the 50,ooo watt clear channels like WOWO, Fort Wayne; WBAL, Baltimore, KDKA, Pitsburgh, WWVA, Wheeling, and more. But never heard, or even heard of I believe, KTCL before this thread. And damn, I"m sorry I never got to listen,
Cheers
Pat Metheny and KTCL went together like hand in glove. I first heard this incredible live version of "San Lorenzo" about 1978 or so, it was from a 4 song EP (extended play) released to radio stations only. Of course, they jumped on it, often playing all 4 songs together at night. Had to wait a bit while they flipped the record over....I do miss those days:

Miss them too. Remember sometines the DJ ducks out for a piss and gets back late and the record spins on and on with the hissing noise?
Cheers
