The CD version of LIVE AT THE WHISKEY A GO-GO ommits three tracks--"In The Time It Takes," "Just Another Perfect Day" and "True Love"--included on the LP & cassette releases.

X: Exene Cervenka (vocals); Tony Gilkyson (guitar, vocals); John Doe (bass, vocals, acoustic guitar); D.J. Bonebrake (drums).

Recorded live at The Whiskey A-Go-Go, Hollywood, California and Rumbo Recorders, Canoga Park, California. Originally released as a 2-LP set.

Originally released in 1988, this live album finds X on their home turf in L.A., with guitarist Tony Gilkyson replacing original member Billy Zoom. This recording documents the tail end of the band's finest period, but there's no shortage of energy as they blaze through not only classic X tunes such as "New World" and "White Girl," but also "Call of the Wreckin' Ball" from their country side project the Knitters, and obscurities such as "Skin Deep Town."
