Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally circulating as a semi-official bootleg, this ear-splitting set captures the band's 1987 performance at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. The recording highlights the abrasive, alternate-tuning squall of their 'Sister' era, famously concluding with four chaotic Ramones covers. The lo-fi, blown-out fidelity perfectly encapsulates the frantic energy of the New York underground scene.
