I was 19 at the time. Met my wife when she was 16 in April 65. KDWB 630 and WDGY 1130 were musts for your tube type radio in car and home. Great memories. Old friend, the late, Ugly Del Roberts of WYOO was another excellent addition to rock radio in the 60's. Oh yeah, that teenager I met in 65, we now live in Sacramento, California recently celebrated our 54th. "63, that's easy to remember".

Unfortunately for KDWB they weren't involved in the biggest event of the summer. On August 21 the Beatles played at Met Stadium(home of the Twins and Viknigs, now the site of the Mall of America) and rival Twin Cities Top 40 station WDGY was the radio station involved with that concert.

May I ask, where happened to the music tracks? I'm loving this wonderful upload however it seems like the best parts have been cut out

Most likely KZbin flagged it, so author "scoped" it so the whole songs weren't included...THAT is why the songs were shortened. It's called a "scoped" aircheck. Sadly airchecks that include entire songs are flagged by KZbin for copyright infringements if the whole song is played. Hope this answers your question.
