Trivia/Info
- This recording is a live medley circa 1985. TMBG plays both "1999" (a loose cover of the Prince song) and "Cowtown" back to back.
- John Linnell in a 1990 Press-Courier interview:
We've done a lot of covers live. [...] Once we did a jazz swing version of '1999' by Prince, and people thought we were just making a reference to it. They didn't think we were trying to play it.
- This performance of Cowtown uses a similar drum track to the one heard in the 1985 promotional demo, suggesting that this performance may possibly predate the 1985 Demo Tape.
