If These Walls Could Talk: Celebrating the Life and Times of The Bottom Line

Host Paul Shaffer; Music Director Gregg Bendian

Featuring Sean Altman, David Bromberg (Fri only), Marshall Chapman, Clint de Ganon, The GrooveBarbers, Garland Jeffreys (Sat only), David Johansen, Christine Lavin (Sat only), Will Lee, Darlene Love with Ula Hedwig and Curtis King, Terre Roche with Feifei Yang and Garry Dial (Fri only), Uptown Horns and Jimmy Vivino

Join us for a multimedia celebration of The Bottom Line, featuring music and memories, songs and stories by a selection of artists who were regular performers at the iconic club.  Host Paul Shaffer with special guests will swap stories about their favorite times on stage, off stage and backstage and perform songs that made the club a destination for fans of all music genres.

As an additional infusion of nostalgia, three of the most prolific rock photographers of our time, Peter Cunningham, Bob Gruen and Ebet Roberts, will exhibit photographic prints that capture the rock n’ roll royalty that graced the stage at The Bottom Line in an exclusive pop-up photo gallery located outside The Schimmel Center’s auditorium. Cunningham, Gruen and Roberts, who also contributed images as part of the multimedia aspects of the two shows, will sell their prints and additional products at the impromptu gallery, alongside CDs from the evenings’ performers and from The Bottom Line Archive collection that showcase a wide variety of live musical performances recorded throughout the 30-year history of the nightclub’s legendary run.

From opening night on February 12, 1974, when headliner Dr. John jammed with Stevie Wonder and Johnny Winter in front of an audience that included Mick Jagger, Carly Simon, Bette Midler and an SRO crowd of entertainment industry luminaries, The Bottom Line was destined to be a cultural touchstone and hub of the music industry. For the next 30 years The Bottom Line influenced and impacted millions of music fans, providing a rich soundtrack to their lives that reflected the changing times.

These shows were put together by Allan Pepper, co-owner and creative force behind the Bottom Line. The Bottom Line was owned and operated by Pepper and Stanley Snadowsky for 30 years from 1974 to 2004.
