Double Dose (Hot Tuna album)

Double Dose is the eighth album by the American blues rock band Hot Tuna, and their third live album.  The album was originally released as a double-LP as Grunt CYL2-2545. After their 1977 tour, Jorma Kaukonen moved on to a solo career and Jack Casady joined the new wave band SVT.  Hot Tuna would not perform together again until 1983.  The album had its highest peak at #92 on the Billboard charts.

The group recorded the album as a cost-saving alternative to a studio album. However the mixing process considerably raised the album's expense. Producer Felix Pappalardi heavily edited the concert tapes and had Kaukonen re-record his vocals for sides 2 through 4 at Wally Heider Studios.
