This live record was captured over the past
two years in the hip S.F. enclaves where many have made history to ears, but
usually not recorded. These shows were taped in curiosity, posterity, and
self-inspection, but the recordings revealed an unexpected spontaneity and
sense of humor that compliment the previously released studio recordings. Where
once was a polite polished pop production, is now a raucous rock 'n roll
review, with improvisations that will surprise. Furthermore, the intimacy and
immediacy of some of these live vocal and guitar performances obliterate my
memories of the album versions!
Whether
it's in the basement martini garden of the polite cash-is-king Cafe Du Nord, or
in the unwieldy ass-market of the Mission hot-spot Make-Out Room, CvS delivers.
As a member of the captive audience at these shows, I can say that these
recordings offer a sneak peek into a wild world of CvS!
