Live at the Paramount is a
Donnie McDougall on rhythm guitar and the last to feature original bassist Jim Kale. It also includes performances of three exclusive songs not included on any of their studio albums: "Glace Bay Blues," "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon
," and "Truckin' Off Across the Sky."
The album reached #39 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States.[3] This was the group's only live album until the 'classic lineup' reunion in 1983 (resulting in the album Together Again, released the following year).
The 2000 re-release on
Compact Disc
was remixed and added six bonus tracks from the same concert which did not fit on LP. Four tracks from the show remain unreleased: "Get Your Ribbons On" (the original show opener); "Heartbroken Bopper"; "Guns, Guns, Guns"; and "Follow Your Daughter Home".
