What followed was an explosive live show, set during the earliest days of the band's career. Getting ready to release their debut album Strap It On in March that year, Helmet propelled themselves through a staccato-heavy set of tracks that would soon earn them worldwide acclaim in the punk scene. The first side of this brand-new live album features the CBGB set for the first time ever on 180g vinyl LP, while the second half contains an equally energetic performance, recorded in 1993 at the Big Day Out Festival in Melbourne, Australia.
