MERV GRIFFIN PRESENTS

Recorded live at the Uptown Bar, Minneapolis, January 19 1985
It's January 1985, and Alex Chilton was in town to produce the next Mats album. Of course they only finished three songs and then quit, but Alex did manage to attend this show while he was in the Twin Cities. So, between songs in this typical 1985 setlist, you get to hear Paul ask Chilton to come up onstage (which he finally does, toward the end of the show). This show includes a rare live performance of "Nowhere is My Home," one of the songs Chilton produced.
