Two great bands in one sweet sounding Pre-FM package. The retro Rock & Roll of The Smithereens and the southern fried Fabulous Thunderbirds. Draftervoi did a great job with the encoding this one. The classic commercials have been left but are chaptered so if you don't want to play them you don't have to. I know I say this a lot ... But if you don't have this show in your collection you  really should!!

I actually have meet Kim Wilson, I am a mechanic and he brought his car to my shop for some routine maintenance and when I went to ring up his sale he handed me a credit card that said Kim Wilson The Fabulous Thunderbirds. I confessed I had recognized him but didn't want to draw attention to him while he waited for his car to be finished. He thanked me for that and we chatted for a while. Turns out he lives in my town and became a regular customer. He had moved here to Michigan after meeting a local girl at Pine Knob Music Theatre and soon after married her. He's been a Michigan resident since.

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".
