Orleans live - Jackson Browne Tour, 1976

One could argue that the summer/fall of 1976 was the pinnacle of Orleans' impact on the pop/rock music landscape. The top-5 radio success of Dance With Me in 1975 and the resultant Melissa Manchester tour moved the ball well downfield, but it was the success of Still the One in mid-1976 and the summer tour opening for Asylum label-mate, Jackson Browne, that carried it into the end zone.

This footage comes from one such gig on that tour ... October 15th, 1976 at The Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ.

Apparently, the Capitol Theater made a habit of videotaping ALL performances there, utilizing a multi-camera setup. Black and white and terribly grainy by today's standards, yes ... but at least they captured those fleeting, otherwise irretrievable moments for posterity. You may have seen parts of this show at different times. We've had these 8 tracks up on our YouTube Channel separately for a long time now, but this is the first time it's all being presented together as one piece.
