The 20-song, 80-minute set was captured at the Belly-Up Tavern near San Diego. With the Jayhawks’ permission, the club’s staff recorded the show as part of a series of recordings issued via their website, where it’s been quietly available since mid-February. It proved to be enough of a hot seller and high-quality recording that the group opted to bring it to a wider release.
“It’s a real crime, considering their reputation as a first-class live band,” Jayhawks archivist/wrangler PD Larson said of the lack of a proper live record. Their 2002 acoustic collections “Live at the Women’s Club, Vols. 1 & 2” are the only thing that came close — issued on a small scale with raw (but charming) quality.
