NRBQ has never been a hit making machine but the group has continually made some of the best albums of any roots-oriented American rock ’n’ roll band. To call NRBQ a rock band is probably inaccurate, but they certainly have no problem playing it. As you will hear on this second of two shows recorded at New York’s Bottom Line club in 1978, the band effectively performs a myriad of musical styles ranging from rockabilly, country swing, ‘60s pop, freeform jazz, and they do it all well. After all, we are talking about a band that plays covers by everyone from Sun Ra to Carl Perkins.

Featured here is a wealth of NRBQ classics including “Green Light” (covered the following year by Bonnie Raitt), “That's All,” “Wacky Tobacky,” “I Got A Rocket In My Pocket” and the Beatlesque “I Love Her, She Loves Me,” which appeared on NRBQ At Yankee Stadium, the LP out during this tour.
