After the release of Mardi Gras in 1975, Dr. John (aka Mac Rebennack) left Atlantic Records.

Bottom Line (New York, NY), 11/08/1978. By Paste Magazine July 31, 2009. For the album and this tour, Dr. John assembled an all star musical cast that included David Sanborn, Steve Gadd, Hugh McCracken, and other top studio players. The material on the record (much of which is featured in this show) is among the best original stuff he has ever written, and was played in conjunction with veteran R&B songsmith, the late Doc Pomus. Rain," an absolutely stunning smoky-jazz ballad, is featured on that record, and is a highlight of this memorable performance
