I've never heard of Live at the Bottom Line but found this page. SPARKS US Tour 1976 - Live at the Bottom Line, New York City
Equator has always been an amazing song, a song to blow and mess up your speakers especially when Russell goes really high pitch.
Yes. I think I like their early sound better than their later/popular sound. I never knew Brian Eno contributed to their debut, but somehow that doesn't surprise me.

I actually uploaded the live version of "Equator" I'd mentioned on youtube, a long time ago.
Here's the link.

I love the poisoned roses bit. Too cute!
