Leo Sayer - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 10-24-1978

Posted by on
Another "PBS Soundstage" episode. This time, it's a Leo Sayer concert from 1978. I can't say I'm much of a Sayer fan, but he has enough quality music for me to post this. Besides, there are virtually no live recordings of him from his prime, so it's good to get this out there.

Sayer was a pretty big star in the late 1970s. He wrote most of his own songs, and even co-wrote most of the songs on the first solo album by the Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey in 1973, including the hit "Giving It All Away." His biggest success was in 1977, when he had two huge Number One hits, "You Make Me Feel like Dancing" and "When I Need You." However, his success declined a lot in the mid-1980s, when he suffered a bunch of personal problems and legal and financial problems related to bad management and record company woes. You can read his Wikipedia entry here:

I found an audio bootleg of this concert, but it had lots of issues. The person who recorded it off the T.V. at the time apparently missed the start of a couple of songs due to turning the recording off for commercial breaks. Those two songs were "In My Life" and "The Show Must Go On," which is why they have "[Edit]" in their titles. I found other versions from that era to fill in the missing sections. For "In My Life," the version I found, from a 1976 concert, had a drastically different pitch, so I hope the result here is decent. That song also seemingly broke into a different bluesy instrumental song in the middle in a way that I'm not sure was actually what happened on stage. But I'm not sure, so I kept that.

I had to make some other minor changes here and there. The sound quality is good, but not great, probably due to it being taped off the T.V. in the 1970s.

Also note that I added a bonus track at the end. I was very surprised that maybe his biggest hit of all, "When I Need You," wasn't included, despite it being released a year before this concert. So I added that at the end, using a version performed on "The Midnight Special" TV show in 1980.

This album is 48 minutes long.
