Boz Scaggs Mega-rare Restored Vinyl "The Live Silk Degrees" Roxy, Los Angeles, CA 1976-04-07 with soon-to-be Toto backup band! Great Soundboard. A killer groove! mp3 sample included
This concert was recorded with the all-star band which soon left to become Toto. It is an astounding soundboard, and perhaps the best recording ever to come from TAKRL. You will not believe this show came from vinyl! It is close to perfect in every way.
To make it even better, they are performing songs from the "Silk Degrees" album. As good as that album is, this show leaves that album in the dust. Boz and the band were clearly loving the attention and it shows in the attention they gave to making this as perfect an event as could be.
The "Silk Degrees" album invaded the charts, and just hung there for weeks and weeks. The music just makes you feel good.
Although this LP would be later known as "Jump Street Jive Drive", my copy is an advance pressing with a totally different insert. Printed on blue paper, it has a collage of Playboy cartoons. It just says "only good Boz songs" on the insert. The pressing was probably better also, which is why it sounded so quiet.
Throw this on, take your shoes off, and shaakee it, baybe!
