Beacon Theatre

August 6, 1995


In August 1995 EC and The Attractions played five stand alone shows at the Beacon Theater in New York City -
sort of rehearsal gigs before the recording of All This Useless Beauty.
Over the five nights all the songs from that album are played, plus a few more that didn't make the cut or were released later.
The arrangements of some songs are different than the versions that were later released. All are great shows.
August 6 is the fourth night and the quality is terrific. Recording quality is as good as the great August 3 show.
Mastered from the original DAT. This version is an upgrade over any previous version, if there are any.

Includes cool artwork by JohnE.
