Notes :
I was really glad to find a Casual Gods (almost) complete live gig ! They are very rare, and we are blessed since the recording quality is pretty good.
As you can hear, Jerry's band was tight and funky and they performed mostly songs from his second solo album, "Casual Gods". Note the appearance of "Things Fall Apart" and "Slink" from his first solo record, "The Red & The Black", and "Children Of The Revolution", a song he coproduced with the Violent Femmes in 1986.

Also, an encore with the obvious "Life During Wartime" and two songs from his Modern Lovers days, "Roadrunner" and "She Cracked". Sadly, "Roadrunner" is missing from the files I've got, and "Rev It Up" is too... Too bad, those songs are always great when performed live !
As always, thanks to the taper for this !
