The 1980’s began for me with a trek into New York City that brought us to West 4th Street in Manhattan and the legendary Bottom Line for the first time. The Bottom Line was an extremely cool and intimate venue with table seating and standing room at the bar. Guitar slinger Rick Derringer followed up a stint playing with Edgar Winter’s White Trash and embarked an a fairly successful solo career. Somewhat amazingly while playing around on YouTube I discovered a good quality audio recording of this very Derringer concert at the Bottom Line which is an interesting archival find and worth a listen.
