Waiting for Columbus was produced by George from four shows at the Rainbow Theatre in London (August 1 to 4, 1977) and three at Lisner Auditorium in Washington (August 8 to 10). The Tower of Power horn section played on it, Mick Taylor guested on "A Apolitical Blues", and Michael McDonald and Patrick Simmons sang backing vocals on one track.
