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 rarely used) on WFUV—90.7 FM—in New York City. It evolved from being solely a progressive rock show into one in which humor superseded the music. Broadcast live in mono, Lew's last four shows have been digitally restored into stereo, thanks to the amazing Neil Litt.
