Two Evenings with Life Out Of Balance - AJ's/Scandals, August 23 & 24, 1991

Two great shows, possibly the first two gigs we did with Lawrence guesting on trumpet. We used parts of both shows as a demo for a spell, and no wonder!  From the first wah-wah "wah" that opens the AJ's tape  to the last moments of the Scandals' "Gimme Fun", the spirit is upon LOOB!

On evening one, the Friday, we played at the newly-opened AJ's, a big room with a new PA and a swanky bar.  The Skels topped the bill that night and - if I'm remembering correctly - they asked us to play with them the next night at the more divey Scandals ("Entertainment & Dancing"!).  Always ready to "mach shau", we obliged!
We particularly enjoyed the "relaxed summer dress code".  
AJ's closed two weeks later.

These are two of only a few 1991 recordings of LOOB I have here, most of the rest were recorded on DAT tapes, and only the black crow knows where those ended up! This is from my original cassette dub.
