The BoDeans
Rockefeller's
Houston, TX
Oct. 14, 1986

Excellent soundboard recording (from 1st generation cassette)

Another great torrent from Mexminute/TheCommish
(from the Mexminute archives)

**mp3 samples provided (as always) in the Comments section**

General comment: A great early-era show from Waukesha, Wisconsin's favorite sons, who were promoting their critically-acclaimed "Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams" album. The "sweet and sour" vocal attack of Kurt Neumann and Sammy Llanas is in full effect. I can't get enough of this show...it's top shelf indeed. If you've never heard The BoDeans, this would be a great place to start.

A special thanks to you-know-who for this one!

If you decide to download this show, won't you please consider posting a comment on the show's board? It only takes a moment, and believe me, it takes A LOT longer to prepare/upload a show for others to enjoy than it does to download and run.

And won't you please consider thanking Mexminute for sharing this mighty fine show with us?
