SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY & THE ASBURY JUKES were at a crucial point in their career when they performed the concert heard on this live album. Two months earlier, they had released their third album, HEARTS OF STONE, the most critically acclaimed album they ever made. Like its predecessors, I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME and THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL, HEARTS OF STONE was produced by Miami Steve Van Zandt and featured songs writted by Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen. Both of the band's first two albums had been moderate sellers - HEARTS OF STONE need to be a bigger seller to advance the Jukes, but as of December 23, it was just becoming apparent that this might not happen; the LP stumbled in the charts, and no single had emerged. If the band was apprehensive about its future, however, that only translated into a more fervent performance in Boston. The set includes four selections from the new album, among them the Southside/Springsteen/Van Zandt composition TRAPPED AGAIN, and the Southside signature song, THE FEVER, here given an 11-plus minute reading. The show ends, inevitably, with a pair of Christmas songs that have not appeared on any previous Southside Johnny collection. It all sounds like a triumphant evening with a tight band and its bantam frontman playing well before an enthusiastic audience.

2) Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - Jukes Live at the Bottom Line (October 17, 1976)
In Flac - No covers
This is a wonderful artifact of the early days of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. This concert, from the Bottom Line in New York City, was actually a live WNEW-FM radio broadcast from October 17 1976, that occurred shortly after the release of the band's debut I Don't Want to Go Home. Five of the tracks are from that album including a terrific version of "Fever", and "You Mean So Much to Me" with Ronnie Spector sharing the vocals with Southside just like on the studio version. The real highlight though is "Havin' a Party", undoubtedly the most recognizable tune. This completely reworked version of the old Sam Cooke classic became an FM radio staple in the late seventies, and is still a regular part of Southside's shows. Also included are three additional covers which don't appear on any other Asbury Jukes album: "Searchin'" (the old Coasters tune), "Snatchin' It Back" (previously done by Clarence Carter), and the Junior Wells tune "Little by Little". The sound is pretty good for what was a radio broadcast.
