It started as a sketch on Saturday Night Live on April 22, 1978 with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, playing the roles of Jake and Elwood Blues, the front men for a fictional band known as the Blue Brothers. The sketch grew into a real band, with Belushi and Aykroyd being backed by such legendary musicians as;
- Steve "The Colonel" Cropper – lead and rhythm guitar (formerly with Booker T & the M.G.'s)
- Donald "Duck" Dunn – bass guitar (formerly with Booker T & the M.G.'s)
- Murphy Dunne – keyboards
- Willie "Too Big" Hall – drums, percussion (formerly of the Bar-Kays)
- Tom "Bones" Malone – trombone, trumpet, saxophone (Saturday Night Live Band)
- "Blue" Lou Marini – saxophone (Saturday Night Live Band)
- Matt "Guitar" Murphy – lead and rhythm guitar (Howlin' Wolf, other artists)
- Alan "Mr. Fabulous" Rubin – trumpet (Saturday Night Live Band)
- Paul "The Shiv" Shaffer – keyboards, arranger
- Tom "Triple Scale" Scott – saxophone
They released the album, Briefcase Full of Blues, in November 1978, which would go double platinum and eventually climb to number 1 on the charts, while producing 2 top 40 singles, Soul Man at #14 and Rubber Biscuit at #27. Jake, Elwood and The Blues Brothers would go on tour, winding up as one of the opening acts for the Grateful Dead on December 31, 1978, 33 years ago today, at the show which closed the famous Winterland Arena in San Francisco. (Belushi and Ayroyd were both Deadheads, and, as I mentioned in a post last year, I actually saw John sing US Blues with the Dead at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ on March 30, 1980!). This soundboard recording captures the Blues Brothers entire set from that legendary night. Download this one, and when you're done listening, check out the 1980 Blue Brothers movie for some more great music from the band!

Thanks for the post. Can never find this in a lossy format.
Any chance of a re-up of the Blues Brothers? Thanks!
New link is up! Enjoy!
Thanks a lot for this gem and all the effort going into the site! :-)
Additionally, video outtakes from this concert can be found floating on YouTube and the whole take (as cabled out that night, however technically deteriorated since) can propably still be found somewhere on the Internet though it seems to have been removed there.

Additionally, video outtakes from that show can be found on YouTube however it seems like the full cable TV transmission set has been removed. Worth searching for though the technical quality is rather deteriorated.
