BRIEF HISTORY COURTESY OF MADONNATRIBE: MADONNA The Blonde Ambition Tour In Concert Legendary Westwood One triple LP radio show, featuring all the hits recorded in October 1990 in Dallas, Texas during the U.S.
leg of Madonna s world tour.
Ever wondered why everyone seemed to have the bootleg of the Dallas date of the Blond Ambition Tour in edited, but absolutely lovely audio quality? Well, that s because it was specially recorded for a radio broadcast, to be sent around the US Radio Networks for broadcast.
The broadcast was simultaneously aired on the weekend of August 27th 1990, three weeks after the tour had ended The broadcast industry was a little more basic than it is today, so all the radio stations which were taking part in the simulcast were sent a triple LP set of the tour split over six sides of vinyl which they were to play to their listeners on their trusty turntables.
As the networks were commercially funded it meant that the tour was split into little bite-size chunks of mostly two-song sections and then the companies which had paid for advertising during the show had their 30 second or 60 second advertisements played.
The sponsors for the tour were Doritos, the US Air Force, Greyhound Buses and CBS Television all aired their promo spots during the broadcast repeatedly Makes you wonder whether the Air Force had seen the Like A Virgin performance when they agreed to that Westwood One was the company that put together the live recording and to say they are legends of radio live music broadcasting is putting it mildly.
However, even they aren t infallible - the classic mis-naming of Sooner Or Later featured on every cue-sheet accompanying the triple LP set as did the annoyingly common mis-spelling of Blonde although they got it right on the actual discs .
Westwood One required all shows to either be returned after broadcasting or to be destroyed and for the radio station to sign an affidavit confirming this .
Obviously, as with anything potentially valuable, this didn t happen and a handful of the sets escaped the radio station recycling bins and made it out to collectors.
Those lucky enough to have secured a full set, complete with the original cue sheets now find themselves with a lovely set These discs are sold from one collector to another.
No rights are given or implied.
If you have any questions or would like more information, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck, and thanks for looking
