This good quality audience recording from a small club (food is actually served during the show!) in Sayreville on the second night of the 1990 US tour finds the band in excellent shape! The atmosphere of a small club and a loyal audience seems to bring the best out of the guys. Although they don't do a lot of extended versions there's still room for some surprises/improvisations including unique intros to both "Don't Knock It Til You Try It" and "Deliver Me". Also notable is Eric's guitar playing on songs like "Enigine 999" and of course "Mr Big Baboon" (the song that never sounds exactly the same live - this time with guitar riffs from "In The Mood"!). A lot of the common songs like "And We Danced" (with good help from the crowd!) are also performed with great excellency. Finally, the set-list is unusually interesting including a lot of not too often performed songs like "You Never Know Who Your Friends Are", "A Man Understands" and the great "Mr Tambourine Man" cover benefitting from Eric's mandolin. Any Hooters-fan who's not a complete audiophile should want this! Finally one thing which should be mentioned, they get some kind of microphone problem about 3 minutes in "Brother Don't You Walk Away" and have to finish the song without singing. Remastered sound. Available on two CD-R.
