On May 2nd, 1988, while in the midst of promoting their sophomore album Green Thoughts, The Smithereens performed a full set at Sigma Sound Studios. There were about 30 people in the audience, but thousands listened in as the session was broadcast live on WMMR. DJ Earle Bailey hosted the gig, and in today's Live from the MMaRchives cut, you can hear him plug the Smithereens' show the next night at the legendary Chestnut Cabaret at 38th & Ludlow.
