This live performance from Virgin Records' record release party to celebrate Boz Scaggs' 1997 "Come On Home" CD is a killer. Boz has maintained his cool from day one. The man even pulled off two very listenable standards records. (Are you hearing me, Rod? Cyndi? ROD?)
"Silk Degrees" was the one for some. His self-titled debut for Atlantic was the one for others. ("Loan Me A Dime" anyone?) But 1994's "Some Change" might be his overlooked masterpiece. A few tunes from that record are represented here, as well as some of the R&B covers that comprised "Come On Home," another excellent LP.

This looks terrific. Thank you for posting it. I love the 'Some Change' album.
sal...haven't listened to this yet but there was a period of several months, shortly after the atlantic lp was released, when i needed to hear "loan me a dime" on a daily basis...i can't wait to hear another version of this classic recording!
I agree but I also really love My Time, another overlooked Boz LP. Thanks as always for the great post
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HOOKED ON "BOZ", SINCE THE FIRST TIMEI SAW HIM AT THE "PHILLY SPECTRUM". SEEMED LIKE HALF THE PLACE CAME DOWN ON THE FLOOR. IT WAS LIKE A "DISCO". DANCED THE WHOLE NIGHT AND COULDN'T HEAR AFTER THE SHOW! STILL SO LOVE TO DANCE TO HIS SONGS
Moments.
We need a regular "Live from Boz's Winery" webcast.
Sal, thanks for this great post. The music quality is A+. Can you provide the date and location of the concert? Thanks.
Artlazarus,
I know it's 1997. I think it was an industry gig at EMI studios, but I can't be sure. Sorry I don't have more info.
a friend just linked me to this - it's brilliant, thanks
