Guest: John Belushi - vocals on "Hey Bartender"

Summary:
This is good quality audio and video of the complete show and a strong performance by this lineup, which included Bonnie Bramlett. Following the drum solos in the middle of "Pegasus," John Belushi joins the band onstage and sings "Hey Bartender." This was broadcast live on WNEW so fans are very familiar with this show.

Thanks for posting Fretsman. This is the incarnation and the year that I first saw them. Great show! Of course the first thing that jumps out is the bandage on Dickey's hand. Punched somebody out? It doesn't seem to affect his playing.

Scroll down the other shows on the right.The George Thorogood show from 7/5/84 is worth watching for the guests alone.

Belushi, too funny - how many people have ever done a cartwheel onstage at an Allman Brothers Band concert?
