"This one needs a little explanation: SpicyT, Jimmy and KennyC were in a band called Beat the Clock. One of their songs was called "The Big Beat", and featured Ken on drums while SpicyT traded raps with Chris Beaty, the guitar player. There was a definite structure to the song, although much of it, in true SpicyT style, is improvised. On this particular night in Iowa City, StrawB came along just for fun. He's the one running the loops and samples. This recording was made in May of 1993. GMF's may recognize part of SpicyT's rap about 1 minute in.

technical note: The club was very small. Sound in the left channel is straight from the board; sound on the right is from a microphone hanging right over the stage. -- jr"
