Omnivore revisits a vintage Big Star gig as a first-time standalone CD release.  The set showcases the legendary power pop band kicking off 1973 at the acclaimed Memphis venue. Co-founder Chris Bell had recently departed the group, leaving singer/guitarist Alex Chilton, bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens to continue as a trio. While the group would not yet commit to recording a follow-up to 1972's #1 Record until fall of the next year, this show at Lafayette's features tracks from both #1 Record and the album that would become 1974's Radio City, including future classics like "O My Soul" and "Back Of a Car."
