Most of these live tracks were recorded with a single microphone to a minidisc recorder (‘member them?) sitting in a pool of beer back by the soundboard, so they may not sound too hot, but hopefully there’s some amusement on offer here. Thanks to anyone who’s sent in their own (better-sounding) live recordings of Superchunk shows as well.
