Audience recording from Philadelphia 1984 on Thanksgiving evening - a free show. Recorded at the small club Chestnut Cabaret where the Hooters have continued to play all through their career and always giving the audience a really good performance - often with some suprise songs. Actually this was the third year the Hooters played at Chestnut Cabaret. Overall the recording is very good and so is the performance. At this time the Hooters had just got their recording contract with CBS. "Oh Susanna" is only a short acoustic version as is "Hangin' On A Heartbeat" right after that (a song which was performed twice that night). Also notable is the original, un-released version of "Day By Day" with different lyrics and different guitar licks and the rarely performed "But I Do". Highlights are also the good cover-versions of the Beatles songs "Should Have Known Better" and "Obla-Di-Obla-Da". I also very much like "Goodnight" as closing number on these 1984 shows (Eric plays a little part of Brahms Lullaby in the middle section wishing everybody a good night). "End Of My Rope" is an unreleased song and sounds a little bit like "South Ferry Road", and it was actually supposedly a part of that song, but it was turned into a separate song. Nice to have "Peace Love & Understanding" in good sound too which is an Elvis Costello cover (from "Armed Forces", 1979). It should be noted that this is not the complete performance. The melodica solo was edited. Recorded by Freezing Temperatures Productions. Remastered sound. Available on two CD-R.
