6. The Longest Time...

Billy Joel…

[3catwoman3]

15. One of my favorite songs!

Here is a cover version that I also really like. The "triplets" doing backup are a single individual, Julien Neel. I've watched lots of his works, and am always intrigued by how convincingly he interacts with himself. If you like his stuff, search Trudbol on YouTube.

14. In The Still Of The Night

by The Five Satins

[Doc_Technical]

17. The Platters - The Great Pretender

[UnderThisLaw]

18. Lead singer Tony Williams was

one of the best singers in popular music

[red dog 1]

25. One of the all-time best doo-wop songs, imo.

[Brother Buzz]

20. Rubber Biscuit - The Chips were fun, but Elwood has some serious chops and knocked it out of the park

[red dog 1]

36. As a native San Franciscan, I wish I'd known about them playing at Winterland, because I would have been there.

Damn!

[Brother Buzz]

39. Briefcase Full of Blues was released four weeks earlier and the film hadn't even splashed yet

So The Blues Brothers were mostly flying under the radar. Boy howdy, the band had nothing but All Star musicians!

Good luck snagging tickets for a WInterland New Years Eve concert.

Rubber Biscuit didn’t make it into their album because it’s not a Blues song

[red dog 1]

41. According to Wikipedia, it was on their 1978 debut album, Briefcase Full of Blues.

That 12/31/1978 Winterland concert, with The Grateful Dead, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, and The Blues Brothers, was the final concert at Winterland, and lasted over eight hours.

[Brother Buzz]

42. Bill Graham's New Years Eve shows were always a big deal

I wouldn’t be surprised if tickets sold out the first day.

Besides being the last concert at WInterland, it was also Donna Jean Godchaux‘s last concert with the Dead.

[red dog 1]

44. Even Ken Kesey was there.

[Harker]

22. And for sheer kinetic energy...

23. Gene Chandler - Duke of Earl

[red dog 1]

27. Possibly the best doo-wop song ever!

[LogDog75]

24. Sh-Boom

[red dog 1]

26. Excellent pick.

I think it was the first doo-wop song to reach the top ten on the pop charts.

[Raven123]

28. The Boy From New York City
