about

In late 1992, near the end of the band's career, the Rafters were invited to do a live on-air show at WMFO, the Tufts University college station in Medford, MA. These tracks, ripped from a cassette recording of the broadcast, are rough, but contain some pretty good performances of Rafters standards like "Imaginary Garden" and "House of Dreams", as well as deeper cuts like "Making Mistakes," "River," and Brice's gem "Lonely."
