Notes: A very nice electric show. Most songs backed by Quasi. Our Thing (d1t01) is an instrumental which was eventually released on the UK version of the Waltz #2 single. Thirteen (d1t16) is a Big Star cover.

Show Notes: This is one of the earlier electric shows, and it shows. Some of the songs just aren't all that tight, while others are spot on. Elliott more than makes up for it with the energy in his voice. And if there's any doubt if he can rock out, it's all answered by the time he hits Speed Trials and A Question Mark.

Recording Notes: Random 'chirp' during first verse of pictures of me. Dunno what from. Someone decided to snap their fingers randomly during division day (and I do mean randomly.)
