In late June 1993, John Hiatt was putting the finishing touches to what was to be his 11th studio album, Perfectly Good Guitar. But such prior engagement didn't stop Hiatt from stepping out on 26th of the month to delight the gathering at that year's free summer concert in Chicago's Grant Park, a show to be broadcast live by local station 93 XRT FM. Hitting the boards with his then touring outfit The Guilty Dogs, John and the band get straight into stride as they open with three fine cuts from 1988's Slow Turning. John then - always the Southern Gentleman - asks permission from the revved up thousands if it's ok to play some songs from the new album, slated for release in September. Permission is rapturously granted and the group fire into the charming 'When You Hold Me Tight'. Up next, 'Child Of The Wild Blue Yonder', originally on 1990's Stolen Moments, is accompanied by Mr. Hiatt's demonstration of a dance he has, we learn, been taught him by a flight stewardess the previous day. Then it's back to the new ones and a gorgeous version of the magnificent 'Straight Outta Time' is performed, followed up quickly with Bring The Family's 'Thing Called Love'. When another new song 'Cross My Fingers' is aired, fans in the crowd are getting the message that the upcoming album is almost certainly going to be another classic Hiatt collection, choc-full of the kind of tunes that have made this unique talent such an in-demand composer. Those same fans groove through sublime versions of 'Feels Like Rain' and 'Have A Little Faith In Me' before sampling the classic title track from PGG. By then there is no question in anyone's mind that the album of the same name will be anything but superb. That was it for the Chicago crowd, but not for those lucky souls who have acquired this terrific CD, as three tracks recorded on Hiatt's 1990 tour of the US are included as bonus cuts making for a great all-round package and a truly delightful listening experience.
