The Smithereens' retro flavored Power Pop was in contrast to the Synth Pop and Hair Metal that was ruling the carts in the 1980's. This however was a key to their success, as songs like "Blood And Roses" and "Behind The wall Of Sleep" were considered a breath of fresh air to those tired of spandex and hairspray. This live recording comes from the tour for Green Thoughts, the bands second full length LP. The sound is really nice and the set includes the bands hits as well as a cover of The Who's "The Seeker" and the at the time unreleased "White Castle Blues".
