Barenaked Ladies
at The Starlite Music Center

This bootleg is suprising in it's clarity - initially I wondered if it was a soundboard boot. I suspect that it is a tape from a festival-type performance since the set is short - about 45 minutes - and nothing seems to be cut out. Furthermore, Steve makes a reference to being in love with the Wild Orchid girls having seen their set.

Probably the most novel thing about this tape is Steve and Ed pleading with the crowd not to throw stuff up on the stage. In the opening bars of $1M Ed makes a "verbal agreement" with the audience that they won't heave their KD. Of course, there's always a few assholes...

There is also a running bit about the sausage vending booth (what is it about sausages with these guys?) which starts when they notice the sausage vendor has better lighting than they do. Overall, a fun albeit short set.

Highlight: Ode To Wild Orchid/Tootie Fruitie/You Light Up My Life/Sesame Street Theme goofy medley.
