In 1985, Sonic Youth were touring the States following the release of their 'Bad Moon Rising' LP.
This show at Chicago’s Smart Bar was recorded on 4-track cassette & consists of live versions of most of the songs from that album, early performances of 'Secret Girl' & 'Expressway to Yr Skull' (later to be released on 'Evol') & a rare, never-before-released live rendition of 'Kat ’n’ Hat'. Mixed & mastered by the band from the original tape source, this single-CD / double-LP edition includes liner notes by Gerard Cosloy & Sonic Youth engineer Aaron Mullan, plus unpublished photos by Pat Blashill & Steven Koress. a killer live show!
