Short and sweet, this EP captures six songs worth of a live set The Smithereens played for a hometown New York crowd (complete with cries of "Let's Go Mets!"), recorded for an MTV broadcast. Anyone familiar with the band's studio recordings won't find anything terribly surprising in the live arrangements, but this disc certainly preserves the band in top form, with Pat DiNizio's vocals boasting a tougher edge than he displays in the studio and Jim Babjak's guitar gaining some additional on-stage crunch.
