3rd and final album by The Blues Brothers - including the soundtrack for the film "The Blues Brothers" (Jun. 1980). The album is the band's second live album - this time recorded live at the Universal Amphitheater, Jul. 26 - Aug. 1, 1980 by Record Plant, LA.
The album consists of traditional 'blues' and 'rhythm & blues' material but lacks some of the sheer energy that characterised the live debut, Briefcase of Blues (1978), and it doesn't have the star quality as the soundtrack album, which makes this the band's weakest performance.
