"After John Sebastian left the Lovin Spoonful in 1968, he embarked on a solo career that never quite acheived the same level of critical or commercial success. Despite that, Sebastian toured relentlessly, often pairing up with other folk rock artists with similar sytles to his. For example, he often played with NRBQ, and in 1975, teamed up with David Bromberg.   This soundboard recording captures Sebastioan and Bromberg in Chicago on Jnauary 23, 1975, 4 dozen years ago today, taping an episode of Sound Stage. By the way, just about a year after this concert, Sebastian woul have his one moment of solo commercial success, as the tune, Welcome Back, which he wrote as the theme song for the TV sitcom Welcome Back Kotter, went to #1  on the Billboard charts."
