Todd:

Consider yourself lucky to see Shoes Live! I live in Mpls, and could not make 
the trip to IPO in Chicago. I saw the band Live several times back in their 
"Glory Days". Twice during their Tongue Twister tour in late 1980 and then in 
1981. Saw them play a club show at First Avenue (Mpls) during the Boomerang 
Tour in 1982. They were great high energy Concerts that impressed me. Back 
then the band would mingle with the Fans after the shows. I seem to remember 
sharing a few beers the Murphy brothers and Gary Klebe chatting about music.

I would also recommend the Boomerang album (recorded in 1982). The CD release 
includes the rare 6 song bonus EP "Shoes on Ice" (a Live recording from the 
Zion Ice Arena). "Stolen Wishes" (1989) has some great songs like: "Let it 
Go", "Never had it Better" and "Love is Like a Bullet". Their most recent CD 
"Propeller" is excellent as well featuring the single; "Tore a Hole". The 
entire catalog should be available from their website: www.blackvinyl.com 
Glad you enjoyed the Concert...and I'm jealous!

Don
