Barenaked Ladies:

Rock Spectacle

 

So, after three albums, and a couple of personnel changes (Kevin Hearn joined as new keyboardist), they were ready to record their live album, Rock Spectacle (1996). During their Pirate Ship Tour in the spring of 1996, "someone" recorded these "bootlegs" in Chicago and Montreal. Check out the exclusive bonus tracks at the end of the CD.
