"This is a popular song... I mean, it's not popular, but it's in the popular idiom..." (before Nearly In Love)
"This is a rock 'n' roll song. You may feel there's no place for rock 'n' roll in Hopewell Junction of a Thursday night, in early August, on a temperate evening... well, you may be right, but there's a little of the hooligan in all of us and I can't help it myself. So, you know, dance on the tables, slash the seats, behave irresponsibly, grow your sideburns and away we go..." (before It'll Be Me)
Another FM broadcast, this one a solo acoustic show recorded and aired by WBAI. An interesting setlist, including a range of covers and intrumentals and the relative rarity Don't Tell Secrets (released on German copies of Daring Adventures in 1986).
The division into two discs is slightly odd, as the entire concert could probably be fitted on a single 80min CDR (possibly with overburning). The first disc is only 25mins long, and a couple of unidentified filler tracks added to the second. Walking On A Wire is cut at the end of Disc 1, although the version on the second CD is complete.
