This vinyl is Bruce’s second boot made after “The Jersey Devil”, excellent sound, recorded by the WNEW‐FM radio broadcast, with small additions of an audience recording to fill certain gaps in broadcasted audio.

Not very easy to find in good condition.

Recorded Live at The Bottom Line club, Manhattan, New York City, NY on August 15, 1975. Billboard Magazine was there and the rest is....history.
