Touring in support of their ffth studio album, 'Airborne', The Flying Burrito
Brothers performed at The Bottom Line in NYC on August 18, 1976
This 12-track set features many of their classic tracks alongside a few country & Western standards
The group's line up consisted of Skip Battin and Gene Parsons (both ex-The Byrds
band members), along with Gib Guilbeau, Joel Scott Hill and original Burrito pedal
steel legend, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow. This live recording is previously unreleased.
1976 was a great year for The Flying Burrito Brothers, with them having the
opportunity to travel throughout the USA celebrating the 200th anniversary of the
founding of the United States. Though Gram Parsons wasn't around anymore,
Chris Hillman embarked on a solo career and Chris Ethridge had just departed the
band, there were some great guys that just happened to be really familiar with the
'Burrito' mentality. It all came together quite spectacularly!
To begin, Gib Guilbeau was a Cajun guy par excellence. Gene Parsons, formerly of
The Byrds, was he drummer from hell who lifted the excitement to the limit? (And
picked a great banjo and string bender guitar). What can be said about Joel Scott
Hill? A rebel? A reverent fanatic? A soulful, emotional artist? ALL of the above!
Then there is Skip Battin, who just joined the band whom everyone loved and
called friend, who provided very original bass and vocal support.
All these cuts are genuine items from a live performance at New York City's
legendary Bottom Line club with all the warts AND magical moments. No fx ups
and no apologies. Just real music and true enthusiasm.
