The Dr. Demento Show (live on KMET) - July 7, 1974 (6p-10p)

Special Topic: mini-festival of the guitar; our legendary "Pico And Sepulveda" set
NOTE: This was the first time the Roto Rooter Good Time Christmas Band version of the opening theme song was used on KMET. Its use was timed to coincide with the first nationally syndicated Dr. Demento Show. The same recording is still in use today as the theme.
NOTE: Additionally, they recorded a bumper "The Doctor is out...", top ten bumper, "extra" bumper, #1 bumper, and closing theme ("Home Sweet Home"). Of these, only the top ten bumper is still in use, plus the ending of the closing theme. They recorded a new #1 bumper later which is still in use today.
