This live set was recorded for DVD release in 2000 at The Bitter End in New York City, and it features
Tommy James and his then-current version of
the Shondells (guitarist
John Golden, keyboardists
Hal Gold and
Benny Harrison, bassist
David Santos and drummer
Glenn Wyka) doing a professional bar band set of
James' biggest hits, including "Draggin' the Line," "Crimson and Clover," "Hanky Panky," "I Think We're Alone Now," "Crystal Blue Persuasion," and two versions of "Mony Mony" (one is a show-ending reprise). The soundtrack for the DVD was lifted and has since been issued several times as a CD by different labels under different titles. Whatever release one picks up, it is what it is, a crisp, professional set at a bar by
James and a pickup version of
the Shondells.
