You get a quick two-fer today. First is the On This Date post. This is another one from Jim Utz’ collection of VHS tapes that he sent me many years ago. I had 2 copies of this- one from Jason Ross and one from Jim. Jason’s says the venue is the Backroom, Jim’s says Bottleneck. I did some digging and it does seem to be Backroom.
In my humble opinion, BoS were untouchable in the mid-80s with Chris Smith on guitar. After Chris left the band then passed away, the band has continued in different incarnations but nobody can really replace Chris. I wish there was more video with him playing. Any BoS is still great though.
