Tom Tom Club
Cubby Bear Lounge (aka Tom Tom Club, for this show)
Chicago, IL
June 2, 1989

The Tom Tom Club played five sold out nights at the Cubby Bear in late May and early June of 1989. To the best of my knowledge this show was recorded on June 2nd, which I think was the third night of the set, if I remember correctly. According to Chris Franz the bar was renamed the Tom Tom Club in honor of their tenure there, but only during that time span as it is called the Cubby Bear once again, now. I was there for three of the five nights. It was extremely hot and humid and the band rocked the house. I remember being pressed up against the stage, dying to visit the facilities but knowing there was no way I could get back if I left.

This is an excellent set recorded on a high quality cassette deck and transferred with a decent quality CD burner. It is a must have recording for any Tom Tom Club fan.
