This 90-minute late-night rock music series aired Friday nights.  It followed "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson."  The episode which first aired June 10, 1977 featured the following performers.

Emmylou Harris & Little Feat (co-hosts) - "Queen of the Silver Dollar"
Emmylou Harris - "My Songbird"
Little Feat - "Dixie Chicken," "Rocket in My Pocket" & "Rock and Roll Doctor"
Paul Barrere - "Old Folks Boogie"
Bonnie Raitt - "Runaway," "Home" & "Sugar Mama"
Weather Report - "Birdland", "Rhumba Mama" & "Teen Town"
Jessie Winchester - "Rhumba Man" & "I Can't Stand Up Alone"

Interesting how Weather Report performs Rhumba Mama following Bonnie Raitt's Sugar Mama, and immediately preceding Jessie Winchester's Rhumba Man.
