Finally released from prison, Elwood Blues is once again enlisted by Sister Mary Stigmata in her latest crusade to raise funds for a children's hospital. Hitting the road to re-unite the band and win the big prize at the New Orleans Battle of the Bands, Elwood is pursued cross-country by the cops.

Zeebo Newton is a small-town misfit who gets bullied, fired from his job, rejected by his dream girl, watches his best friend die, and is threatened with eviction when he is abducted and must fight for his life and everything he loves.

The full unedited performance recorded on December 31, 1978, when the Blues Brothers opened for the Grateful Dead on the monumental closing night of Winterland.
