My recollection is that this show was recorded on a Sunday night and later broadcast on KRQR's weekly "Weekend Wednesday" live show.  The Internet says it was taped live to 24-track. The original broadcast had two prerecorded commercials spliced into it, which would not have happened had the broadcast been live at the monment. The 20 song live broadcast was edited down to a 13 song promo CD (Polygram/Mercury #836-059-2) that was given to radio stations for broadcast; it was never sold to the public.

The promo CD did not include "Information," "The Other Side Of The World," "Government Cheese," "The Lakeview Man,"  "Drinking On The Job," "Rockin' At The T-Dance," and "I Talk With My Hands."  The promo CD is ridiculously rare and sells for silly-money over on Ebay....

The Rainmakers are still in business, and I highly recommend you go to their website (www.rainmakers.com) and check out their current video of "The Thirteenth Spirit."  It's more "bluesy" than the songs on this set; it's got an ominous vibe to it.  Seriously...check it out!

No.  Really.  I don't ask much of you guys....go check it out now!  :)

Part of what we're doing here is trying to turn you on to new bands....let me know what you think in the comments section!!   They've also got some great video of a concert they did in Norway, and that's worth watching, too.  Great stuff..... they're a great live band and deserve a wider audience.

Their records from the '80's and 90's are still in print, too....
