- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

  This superb live broadcast, transmitted from 'Petrillo Music Shell' - the
  famous amphitheatre in Chicago's Grant Park - catches The Lemonheads as they
  appeared at the WXRT sponsored 'Taste of Chicago' festival in 1994 alongside
  rock luminaries including Carlos Santana, Squeeze, and The Band. Originally
  formed in 1986 in Boston by Evan Dando, Ben Deily and Jesse Peretz, the
  Lemonheads line-up was an ever-evolving mutation as a parade of musicians
  passed through the ranks during their heyday, with Dando remaining the only
  constant. The band signed to local independent label Taang! in 1986 and soon
  established themselves as favourites on the 'College rock' circuit. In 1989,
  on the back of the early grunge wave, then making headway in the US, they were
  snapped up by Atlantic Records and, with the help of increased exposure,
  started to move into the mainstream. 'Lovey' was the first album for the new
  label, but it was 1992's 'It's A Shame About Ray' that gave them their real
  breakthrough. Featuring catchy hook-laden songs like the title track, Confetti
  and Rockin' Stroll alongside bittersweet ballads like Hannah and Gabi and My
  Drug Buddy, the songs were tight and poppy and rarely stretched beyond the
  three-minute mark, but had little in common with the likes of Nirvana and
  Mudhoney, acts with whom they'd originally been compared. The band's
  outstanding 1993 album, 'Come on Feel the Lemonheads' is heavily represented
  in this set. The excellent Into Your Arms reached number one on Billboard's
  'Modern Rock Tracks' chart in 1993, staying there for nine weeks. Other
  highlights include the powerful Great Big No and irresistibly upbeat Rest
  Assured. The Lemonheads' career may have been something of a roller-coaster
  ride - due in-part to the unstable line-ups and Evan Dando's well-documented
  drug problems, but this live broadcast certainly sees them at one of their
  highest points and determines Dando as one of contemporary America's finest
  songwriters.
