Personnel:

Reference: FSRCD 128

"Chet confessed to me on several occasions that he had an uneasy feeling that each time he played could be his last. But whatever the reason, he was fantastic (spectacular!). I thought to myself, this has got to be a very special night. I've worked a lot of clubs with Chet over the years both Stateside and Europe, but this particular night seemed a whole lot different to me. Somehow Chet was really burning...Burnin' at Backstreet!"
