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 was 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.

This Westwood One show was broadcast one year later during Memorial Day Weekend 1984. The set is (unfortunately) 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...
