Info from Wolfgang’s Vault: This show, recorded in 1975 while the band was promoting their sixth studio album, Hot Line, came shortly after the band had their first big Top 40 hit, “Must Have Got Lost.” Like this live set, the album was mix of classic rock and R&B covers and original songs, written mainly by keyboardist Seth Justman and vocalist Peter Wolf. Opening with “Love-Itis” the energy onstage is blistering and never stops. Next up is “Southside Shuffle,” followed by the band’s hit at the time, “Musta Got Lost.” The band keeps rocking, track after track with classics such as “So Sharp,” “Detroit Breakdown,” “Lookin’ For A Love,” “Give It To Me” and ending with “First I Look At The Purse.” After this period, the band did go through a lull, both creatively and commercially. But, they bounced back bigger than ever with advent of MTV and a number of video-friendly records that included Love Stinks, Freeze Frame, and the massive hit, “Centerfold.”
