This is a decent-quality live recording from Strap-On's initial laundrymat/bowling alley tour for Antipsychotic. The real treats on this one are "Baby I Want to Be Your Man" with Jon Bon Jovi making a guest appearance on guitar and co-lead vocals, the band's first known live cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (anyone with info on the rumored 4-track studio demos of that, please mail me!), and an early version of "Carlos Offended Me," which supposedly will be on the upcoming "Nothing Burn" single.

The downside is that, at this point, Ed hadn't yet gotten together the live band (Angus, Roy), and so it's mostly them singing and playing along with the CD. Also, the trademark livestock seen (and, at Penn Security Bank Parking Lot, slaughtered) on the rest of the tour aren't heard in the background on this one, because the laundrymat owner didn't allow them in the place. Also, there's a really rattly-ass dryer that makes an annoying noise all through the encore.
