by Steven Pearl: "... Johnny at the Bottom Line in NYC on September 5th, 1978 where Edgar jammed with him and it's a great one! It's most of the show and it's right off the soundboard. I was at that show and it was a KILLER! (...) Other than that it's a great show and the sound quality is real good. HOT STUFF!!! (...) Jon Paris sings 2 songs and plays guitar while Johhny plays bass. (...) I know they did "It Hurts Me Too" while Johnny went backstage to take a pee or something (he drank a lot of Blue Nun wine that night). (...) I remember the show as if it were only 26 years ago. Whatta night! Actually it seems more like a few weeks ago. Johnny played 2 nights at the Bottom Line, both shows were sold out and I didn't know him then so I had to think fast. I called up the Bottom Line and told them I wrote for a Rock & Roll magazine called ROCKET (long out of business now) which I did but I was a cartoonist for them. I told them I was writing an article about Johnny so they got me in on the VIP list! I guess they didn't check too carefully back then. I went to the show and the next day I called them up again and they got me in again! I don't think I could get away with that today (thank God I don't have to!) but it worked beautifully then."
