99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1982!
That year 99.1 PLR welcomed The Police to New Haven Coliseum. The Police hit the road in 1982 to promote their fourth studio album, “Ghost In The Machine,” which featured hit songs such as Every Little thing She Does Is Magic, Invisible Sun and Spirits in the Material World. Joining them in New Haven were Los Angeles new wave band The Go-Go’s, who would later headline New Haven Coliseum that same year.
Today we revisit The Police at the Coliseum…

After talking about the horrific Tiger Woods accident, Chaz and AJ asked the Tribe if they have ever been involved in an accident that probably should have killed them. Scott, as it turns out, was involved in one yesterday and called in from his hospital bed to warn people about black ice. (0:00)
Ashley is the defending champ of Chaz and AJ’s Family Feud, so Repo Marc was on the phone to challenge her knowledge of movies. Didn’t she say she loved Disney films? (21:28)
Movie critic Joe Meyers was on with Chaz and AJ to talk about the greatest movie endings, or at least his five favorites. The Tribe also called in a few of theirs, like Shawshank Redemption, and Rudy. (26:20)

Who remembers rock concerts at Yale’s Woolsey Hall? There hasn’t been one there in a quite a while, but back in ’60s, ’70s and ’80s it wasn’t unusual to see bands like The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Steve Miller Band, Cream and U2 play there.
In 1989, 99.1 PLR presented Asia to Woolsey Hall. The English progressive rock supergroup had just released its self-titled debut studio album the month before its show in New Haven. The album featured their biggest hit to date, “Heat of the Moment.” The band grew more and more popular after the Woolsey Hall show. The following year in 1983, Asia returned to New Haven, but this time instead playing back at Woolsey Hall, they headlined the much larger New Haven Coliseum.
Today we look back Asia at Woolsey Hall…
