Description:
Draft script for the 1979 live Las Vegas revue titled "Wolfman Jack's Disco Party," which took place at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, premiering on October 11 and running until the 17th, with two shows a night. Copy belonging to musical director Rick Warren, with his name in red felt ink to the front wrapper and his copious holograph annotations throughout. Song list laid in.
Taking place at the peak of the disco craze, and one of the many attempts to cash in on the dance fad, "Wolfman Jack's Disco Party" was a live revue that featured a character named Mother Disco who MC's the show alongside Wolfman Jack, with dancers, roller skaters, and performances by Peaches and Herb, Tuxedo Junction, France Joli, and Wolfman Jack himself. Songs performed included "Boogie Wonderland," "Macho Man," "Shake Your Groove Thing," "Last Dance," and many more, with a full set list of 26 songs loosely tied together by a vague story line. A charming document chronicling a groovy bygone era.
