First Ever LIVE Release!

\u201cEven 33 plus years later, it hasn\u2019t lost any of its charm, intensity, or unvarnished power.\u201d \u2013 American Songwriter
\u201cVocalist/rhythm guitarist Dan Baird and lead man Rick Richards let the slippery riffs fly.\u201d \u2013 Vintage Guitar Magazine
\u201cYou can really hear the bar-band roots of this band listening to this show . . . There\u2019s a real magic to the chemistry [they] all had as a group.\u201d \u2013 Ultimate Classic Rock
\u201c. . . the live album sounds wonderful and captures [their] exciting show nicely.\u201d \u2013 Goldmine
\u201c. . . offers fans a chance to travel back through time and experience a singular night of all-out rock and roll as only the Georgia Satellites could provide. The title of the album is absolutely accurate.\u201d \u2013 Exclusive Magazine
\u201c. . . captures the the sweaty excitement and spontaneity . . . of that special night 33 years ago.\u201d \u2013 The Music Universe


In 1988, the Georgia Satellites rolled into Cleveland, Ohio for a blistering Monday night at local watering hole Peabody\u2019s, formerly the punk haven Pirates Cove. With Open All Night giving the band a second album to draw on, their salty, wide-open Chuck Berry riff\u2019n\u2019roll was full swagger \u2013 whether drawing on their reprise of the Swinging Blue Jeans\u2019 \u201cHippy Hippy Shake\u201d from the Tom Cruise film \u201cCocktail,\u201dJoe South\u2019s swerving \u201cGames People Play,\u201d George Jones\u2019 \u201cWhite Lightnin\u2019\u201dor Jerry Lee Lewis\u2019 all-out \u201cWhole Lotta Shakin\u2019.\u201d

Just as importantly, gap-toothed guitarist/lead singer Dan Baird and combustive lead guitarist Rick Richards set the pummeling groove of drummer Mauro Magellan and bassist Rick Price ablaze. Delivering an 18-song masterclass in roots, rock and raunch, the Satellites not only incinerated \u201cBattleship Chains,\u201d \u201cRailroad Steel\u201d and \u201cCan\u2019t Stand The Pain,\u201d they led the beyond SRO crowd through a shout-along of \u201cKeep Your Hands To Yourself\u201d threaded with a brazen stripper grind on the Rolling Stones\u2019 \u201cIt\u2019s Only Rock & Roll.\u201d

Fans of reverb, thrashing drums, the rush of rock & roll momentum and all manners of electric guitars giving it over to basic 3 chord rock & roll, Lightin\u2019 in a Bottle retires the jersey. As the southern equivalent of the Replacements, the Ramones hillbilly (redneck) little brothers, no band delivered as much balls as the Satellites, who\u2019ve never had an official live record.

For a band who leaves it all onstage, that seems wrong. Leave it to Cleveland International to unearth this blistering recording, wipe off the sweat and somehow figure out how to get it all in one double disc package captured in the Rock & Roll Capital of the World.
