LIVE IN MADISON

Recorded live at Merlyn's in Madison, Wisconsin on October 31, 1982.
Recorded in the period between Stink and Hootenanny, this show displays the Mats starting to loosen up from the tighter loud-fast sound of their early years. "Rock Around the Clock" is the forerunner of the goofy covers that would come to dominate many of their shows in 84-85. "Sex with a Goat" (also known as "Shoot Me, Kill Me") is an unreleased Westerberg song that was recorded during the Hootenanny sessions (with different lyrics) but was never released.

SOUND QUALITY: This is a mono PA-feed recording, meaning the sound quality is good but the guitars are a bit too quiet in the mix, compared to the bass and drums. Sound quality is a 6 on a 1-10 scale.
