Rating: 9+  Comments: This is a great soundboard recording from a radio broadcast - this was the day before I saw them in Boston on what was probably the greatest live concert I've ever been to... to say that You Took is incredible is vastly underrating it!!!

Rating: 10  Comments: A great soundboard recording of an incredible concert, no cuts or dj interruptions!  Made from a very low gen tape so there is no hiss to speak of, especially after a light filtering.  If you only get one Church boot, this one is the one.  In the interview, Steve talks about releasing a live album to beat the bootleggers - this interview was way back in 1987, and still no official Church live album.

Comments: Madison is a great soundboard recording from a low gen tape - last show of first leg of US Starfish Tour.  Melbourne is good sound quality, I think first live performance of some Heyday songs.

Rating: 8.5  Comments: Good audience recording of a high energy show!  SK's pretty funny - the crowd does the "encore" clap at every long gap between songs, and SK says "What are you doing that for?  We're still here."
