The Flying Burrito Brothers was an early country rock band founded in 1968, best known for its influential debut album, 1969's The Gilded Palace of Sin. The original group featured Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman as primary vocalists, guitarists and composers. Over the years, the band underwent many personnel changes with various members joining and leaving. Despite these changes, The Flying Burrito Brothers continued to release albums and tour throughout the 1970s and beyond.

Following the departure of Gram Parsons, Rick Roberts took over as frontman for a brief period before the group eventually splintered. Members went on to join other bands such as Manassas and Eagles. In the mid-1970s, original members Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Chris Ethridge reformed the band with new players. This Nashville-centered incarnation of The Flying Burrito Brothers recorded and toured through the 1980s under different lineups.

In later years, Pete Kleinow began using The Flying Burritos Bros name again with Gib Guilbeau and John Beland joining him. Throughout numerous incarnations led by Beland, the band released albums featuring notable guest artists such as Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. However, in 2000, Beland decided to end The Flying Burrito Brothers to pursue a career as a record producer.

Touring in support of their fifth studio album Airborne, The Flying Burrito Brothers performed at the legendary New York City venue, The Bottom Line on August 18, 1976. This 12-track set features many of their classic tracks alongside a few C&amp;W standards. The group's line up consisted of Skip Battin and Gene Parsons (both ex-Byrds band members), along with Gib Guilbeau, Joel Scott Hill and original Burrito pedal steel legend, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow. This live recording is previously unreleased. 1976 was a great year for re-iteration of the Flying Burrito Brothers having the opportunity to travel throughout the USA celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the founding of the United States. Though Gram Parsons wasn't around anymore, Chris Hillman embarked on a solo career, and Chris Ethridge had just departed this band, we had some great guys that just happened to be really familiar with the 'Burrito' mentality. It all came together quite spectacularly! To begin, Gib Guilbeau was my life-long pal and Cajun guy par excellence. Gene Parsons, formerly of the Byrds, was he drummer from hell who lifted the excitement to the limit (and picked a great banjo and string bender guitar. What can I say about Joel Scott Hill? A rebel? A reverent fanatic? A soulful and emotional artist? ALL of the above! Then there is Skip Battin, who just joined the band whom everyone loved and called friend who provided very original bass and vocal support. All these cuts are genuine items from a live performance at New York City's legendary "Bottom Line" club with all the warts AND magical moments. No fix ups and no apologies. Just real music and true enthusiasm. This was the way it was when he hit the road in 1976! - Sneaky Pete (2001)
