Cleaning and Tracking by: Chrisedge
I was given the captured wav files to do a basic cleanup and trackout. The only issue with the tape was a cut and flip during “Hot House.” I removed the gaps but didn't try and cover it too much. I am on a big X kick for their 40th Anniversary this year and this is a lively show from 1983 with some songs that don't get played much, including a great version of “True Love (Part 2).”

X- Live at My Father’s Place
Roslyn, NY 1983 

November 12, 1983

If the hard rock of the ’70s was littered with drawn-out jams and extended solos, then one of the things that punk did was to bring back songs that were short, sharp… and sometimes sweet.

This is what Jon Young wrote about the cow-punk group, X, in The Trouser Press Guide To ’90s Rock (1991):

Though X was perhaps the most important band to emerge from the Los Angeles punk scene, its members were never genuine punks per se. Too self-conscious and artsy to simply spew, leaders John Doe (bass, vocals) and Exene Cervenka (vocals) repackaged their bohemian tendencies in new guise, delivering desperate meditations on sex and society at high velocity, happy to ride the coattails of more instinctual performers.

Set List:
01. True Love Pt. 1 0:42
02. In This House That I Call Home 4:02
03. The Hungry Wolf 4:05
04. More Fun In The New World 3:24
