About the album

In the autumn of 1994 Hole were one of the most talked-about bands in the world. Live Through This had arrived that spring to rave reviews, and Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, Melissa Auf der Maur and Patty Schemel were out on the road playing it with real fury. This set, broadcast on Live 105 in San Francisco, catches them in Berkeley in September.

"Plump", "Miss World" and "Asking For It" hit hard, "Doll Parts" and "Violet" get the crowd singing, and there are a couple of surprises: Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" and the Crystals' "He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)". It's raw, loud and very much of its moment. A radio crowd in Berkeley in 1994 was probably the best audience a band could ask for; you can hear them.
