Recording history Recorded at the Odeum Arena in Chicago over two nights, October 21 and 22, 1983, 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 an 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.
