In celebration of the recent resurrection of Men Without Hats (OK, Ivan is the only original member
involved with the current tour, but it's exciting anyway) I'll be seeding each of my Men Without Hats
live and rare recordings. Most of these have circulated in mp3 form, but I think that lossless
versions are pretty scarce.

Regarding this disc and artwork - in the early to mid-1990s, somebody was selling high-quality Men
Without Hats bootlegs online. I'm not a great fan of paying for bootlegs, but these were well worth
it. Big thanks go out to that particular bootlegger, who clearly loved the band and did an excellent
job preserving these recordings!

Last but not least: if anyone has a recording from the 2011 tour, please share it!
