  By late 1976, the James Gang was undergoing significant changes in their lineup and musical direction. The live recording from December 27, 1976, at The Agora in Cleveland captures the band during a transitional phase, shortly after the release of their album "James Gang Live in Concert," which came out earlier that year. This live album features performances that highlight the band’s dynamic energy and musicianship, showcasing tracks that emphasize their blend of rock and blues influences. Notably, this period also marked the return of guitarist Joe Walsh, who would go on to have a successful solo career and join the Eagles. The live set includes engaging songs like "Hollywood Dream" and "Feelin' Alright," showcasing their hit-making prowess, even as they navigated the challenges of lineup changes and evolving musical styles. This performance stands out as a testament to their enduring appeal and ability to captivate live audiences.
