Werewolves..are not just for Halloween
Thanks Dave, I had a sporadically crappy set of '78 tapes and so didn't listen much. I never knew Werewolves was in the rotation outside of the Halloweens in the 80's. I'll be in thge archive in 78 for a while now. Weir said they usually achived liftoff so it'll be good. Thanks for these clips, love this section.

GD toured with him at some point. I think he opened for them in Boulder in 1980. Nine Werewolves of London in 1978 and I may be biased here but the last one 7-8-78 is the best one. Bob wore a wolf mask.
Cheers
