I am pretty certain that itis WRKO...

Now I´m home and can look at the album.

"68/WRKO NOW RADIO IN BOSTON .30 NOW GOLDENS 30"

Disk Jockey is Al Gates.

The first and probably only source for this LP was/is Mike Kostek´s Handbook. I bought this record from him late 90´s

When I first posted this pic in a previous Thread years ago I agreed that this pic is taken at the WL/WH promo gig in Chicago. The screen, amps, micros, etc and their clothes, all are the same.

By the way, what the hell you guys think is this square thing in front of Sterl/Jonh on the pic below???

I'm not sure. It looks like a small dias, but the "top" is at the wrong angle. Or even a pulpit, but again at the wrong angle. The copy of the pic in the "VU Scrapbook" is very slightly more detailed than the version on Olivier's site, but it is still hard to tell what it is! I used to think it was John's organ, but you can see he is playing bass (and the upright part of it doesn't look like an organ stand).
I dont know. I do not even know where that "article" was originally published - there are no source credits in the "Scrapbook".

Yeah. Wondering abaut this for years. Always thought that the original pics - not the damn photocopies on the Scrapbook - must look grrreatt!!

I agree. I never saw that "article" anywhere but in the "Scrapbook".

It possibly appeared in a local Chicago paper - maybe a music/local radio-related publication?

Yeah. Wondering abaut this for years. Always thought that the original pics - not the damn photocopies on the Scrapbook - must look grrreatt!!
