Some Enchanted Evening

Released

If that’s the reaper their biggest hit tells us not to be afraid of, it makes it much more difficult to follow these Long islanders’ instructions. Released not too long after their first live record, On Your Feet or on Your Knees, to capitalize on the two huge singles that came in its wake (the aforementioned radio staple and the leadoff literal monster hit from Spectres), this laser-loaded stage document finds the band riding high off their success, loose and having a blast. The 2007 reissue doubles the length, adding in key performances of back catalog favorites, a few more covers, and an 8 ½ minute guitar jam – making it the version to seek out for amateur astronomers.
