Background

Live at the Belly Up is a live document of a typical The Jayhawks 2014/2015 live show, recorded professionally by the in-house team at the Belly Up Club in Solana Beach, CA.[4] At 20 songs with a running time of 80 minutes it contains almost the entire January 11, 2015 show.[5] The lineup for this show is the entire 1997 touring lineup of the band with the addition of John Jackson on mandolin. This lineup began playing shows in June 2014 in support of the 2014 reissues of the Sound of Lies (1997), Smile (2000) and Rainy Day Music (2003) albums.[6] The setlist concentrates on songs from those three albums, supplemented by older Jayhawks material, an old country cover[7] that The Jayhawks originally released a studio version of on the b-side to the "Bad Time" single (1995)[8] and two songs from the Golden Smog catalog.[9]
