Jobriath’s debut public performance was made on television, when he appeared on the popular show The Midnight Special. The costumes were designed by Jobriath and the choreography was by Joyce Trisler, of the Joffrey Ballet. Two songs were performed, “I’maman” and “Rock of Ages”, the latter substituting for “Take Me I’m Yours” which was pulled after the producer objected to its overtly sado-masochistic theme. The long awaited live performance finally came in the summer of 1974 with two sold-out shows at New York’s Bottom Line club. Sales for the album however, were poor and it failed to secure a chart placing.
