Live Bootleg (Resurrection Band album)

Recording history

Recorded before a loud and responsive local audience at the Odeum Arena in Chicago over two nights, October 21 and 22, 1983,^[2] this album features a mixture of the band's most popular live tracks as well as two new songs: "Gameroom" and "Playground". The album also features the only time a song from one of the band's independent cassettes was ever re-recorded for one of their official releases ("Quite Enough"). "Gameroom" continues the trend begun on D.M.Z. of directly addressing the concerns of a high school aged audience, and the album closes with a powerful evangelistic message from Glenn Kaiser, which was typical of the band's live performances.

Steve Taylor was Rez Band's opening act for this concert.
