A radio show recorded at the beach in Atlantic City in the summer of 1989, a couple of months prior to the release of "Zig Zag". The first song "Man In The Street" was from the Morning Show. The other songs was in the evening on the beach. This set includes the first professional live recordings of six of the "Zig Zag" songs. Two of them, "Brother Don't You Walk Away" and "You Never Know Who Your Friends Are", have not been performed too often live. Another highlight is a great live version of the good B-side "A Man Understands", a song that was excluded from "Zig Zag" probably only since it didn't fit in there because of its heavy guitars. The bonus songs on the second CD, tracks #11 onwards, are from Trumps Castle, Atlantic City August 5, 1989. In other words a show they did the day after this show. Only 4 songs were broadcasted on the radio. The sound quality is farily good, not perfect but good. The August 5 recordings have some radio noise at times and some anoying commercials. But "Mr Big Baboon" is very nice, with Rob talking more than usual about the song. Remastered sound. Available on 2 CD-R.
