Details from Matador's Annotated Discography:

Live acoustic version of this song from New Wave Hot Dogs, as performed by the Fakebook touring group, with Wilbo Wright on the upright bass, and Kevin Salem on electric guitar. Recorded just after Ira's bout with Lyme disease.

This was recorded on a day the Giants won the Super Bowl. The night before we had played at this college in Ohio, where a couple of students playing acoustic versions of classic rock songs blew us off the stage. We performed for 45 minutes or so to an at-best apathetic gathering and saw no need for an encore. A couple of friends who had come from Columbus felt we hadn't given them their drive's worth, so we played another half dozen songs for them in the dressing room. We invited anybody interested to come watch, but I think the students felt that to do so would be to give up their home-court advantage, so they settled for complaining behind our backs. --Ira.
