Speedy says: 

JS 1983 - Back To Back - #1: 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. The one major exception was his 1976 number 1 single, Welcome Back, which served as the theme song to the televison comedy Welcome Back, Kotter, starring Gabel Kaplan in the title role.  

This soundboard recording captures Sebastian some 7 years later, during the early show at Rockefeller's in Houston, playing that tune along with plenty of songs from his Lovin' Spoonful days. Download this one, then come back in a few hours for part 2 of this Back to Back set.
