- This is a rare recording of the vintage radio show "Brother Love's Underground" featuring the eclectic DJ Ken Reeth, a colorful and creative disc jockey well known to many hippies and rock music fans as "Brother Love."
Brother Love's Underground was radio show in the late-60's that was dedicated to psychedelic and underground rock music. It originated from Pittsburgh radio station WAMO-FM, with Reeth being its psychedelic DJ and emcee. It was also aired, via tape, on Dynamic Broadcasting which owned WILD-AM in Boston, WUFO-AM in Buffalo and WOAH in Miami.
While working at WAMO, which had a soul and R&B format, Reeth got the idea to do a show promoting the growing psychedelic rock music scene, mostly based in San Francisco and LA. Like Tom Donahue, his west-coast counterpart, he was one of the first to introduce listeners to Iron Butterfly, Country Joe and the Fish, Mothers of Invention, the early Doors, Jimi Hendrix, West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Vanilla Fudge and others. Although many of the artists on the show have been mainstays of classic rock stations for decades now, this was very adventurous radio programming at the time.
Ah, the golden years..
Golden days of radio. Free expression over the radio waves-what a concept!This in contrast to today’s corporate Muzak crap polluting peoples brains.
The listening Post..buy 10 LPs and get a waterbed.
Do you know the date of the episode? Or a general date?
Most likely some time in 1968, as "Let's Make the Water Turn Black" was released in March of 1968, and it is the "newest" of the four songs. "Fresh Garbage" was January 1968, and the songs by Cream and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band were both released in 1967.
This was Saturday night, March 30, 1968. I have several recordings of WAMO-FM Underground program
@@terryprovance759 Where can I find more episodes of this show or recordings? I would love to hear more!
@@lpdcomic The two sources I used for obtaining these are no longer available. I don’t know what happened to MARCONIEX, and Rock It Radio went belly up during the pandemic. I obtained these many years ago. I would suggest asking kk kryptowave, who posted this.
@@terryprovance759 Thank you! I will try!
