Bill Fulton Touch N Go San Jose January 24 documents a live keyboard performance with Touch N Go Band on January 24, 1987. The engagement took place at the Red Lion Inn, now the Doubletree by Hilton, at 2050 Gateway Place in San Jose, California.
This performance concluded a series of consecutive Touch N Go Band dates at the San Jose hotel. Fulton performed on keyboards and piano with the group. At the time, live hotel engagements were an important part of the professional music scene. They also gave working musicians opportunities to perform regularly for a wide range of audiences.

Touch N Go Band was among the groups with which Fulton performed during this period of his career. His work as a keyboardist complemented his continuing development as an arranger, composer, and orchestrator. Consequently, live performances provided practical experience that also informed his writing and arranging work.
The January 24 appearance followed Touch N Go performances at the same venue on January 20, 21, 22, and 23. Therefore, this date represents the final night in a five-day run documented in the Bill Fulton Music performance archive.
