The Mekons - Live at Lounge Ax, Chicago (Full Concert) 1992

The Mekons live at Lounge Ax, Chicago on June 14, 1992. Excellent and energetic full concert recording from the band's 1992 U.S. tour. One of the best captures from this era, featuring many songs from Rock 'n' Roll and Curse of the Mekons, plus early previews of material from I ♥ Mekons. Jon Langford starts the show by declaring "We are the Nelsons!" — a running joke throughout the night.
