LEW GOODMAN'S RADIO SHOWS
From November 1, 1968, when he was just 17 (you know what I mean), until March 31, 1973, when he was a ripe old 22, Lew Goodman hosted "Super Session" (a title that he eventually grew to hate) on WFUV—90.7 FM—in New York City. It evolved from a pure progressive rock show into one in which humor superseded the music.
Lew's third-from-last show, which was broadcast live, in mono, from Friday, March 16, 1973 till early the next day, is now available for the first time since that night—digitally restored and in stereo (thanks to the amazing Neil Litt).
