Notes :
My first 1998 B-52's bootleg. I guess the band wasn't recorded much that year. Here, they are performing a short set because they were opening for The Pretenders.
The setlist omits some classics like "Rock Lobster" because I guess the band wanted to perform some more recent songs from "Good Stuff" and "Time Capsule".
THE BIG THING HERE is a recording of a very rare live performance of "Communicate", a song from "Bouncing Off The Satellites". It's great to finally hear what the song looks like when performed live.
As usual, thanks to the taper !

Fun fact: the Great Woods venue is now called the Xfinity Center. I know this because I live somewhere a couple miles away.
