While the cue sheet says Westwood One Presents, the disc labels are still "Live From Gilley's Pasadena, Texas". Jim Duncan's Intro says he's the "host of Live From Gilley's", but on the show Outro he says it's Westwood One Presents. The name varied like this from 1986 into 1988, when they finally settled down and the disc labels and announcements changed once and for all to Westwood One Presents.

Lovett did three shows for Westwood One:
LG 87-25
L 88-26 (Roxy, L.A.) two unique tracks (Give Me Back My Heart and An Acceptable Level of Ecstasy)
L 89-26 (Roxy, L.A.) two unique tracks (Here I Am and She's No Lady)

L 88-26 and L 89-26 are sourced from the March 24, 1988 show at the Roxy in West Hollywood.  Tracks are the same, except for two unique tracks not on the other show.

I already digitized L 89-26 and that's still here in our archives.  I almost got the 87 show on Ebay a few weeks back but I was beaten by a bid of $136.00.  Stick with the Voodoo Wagon and eventually I'll win a copy!

Tracks from this show were bootlegged on Royal Sound Music – RSM 015 SQ "The Lights Of L.A. County" in Germany in 1994.

You get a 300 dpi scan of the cue sheet, both disc labels, and a pdf of a review of the show from the local newspaper.  This version digitized from the original syndicated radio LP in November 2021.
