Chicago Underground Orchestra
Live on WNUR 06-22-96

This is probably one of the earliest recordings of this ensemble.  Robert Barry was later replaced by Chad Taylor who is now an essential part of the Chicago Underground.

Chicago Underground Orchestra lead by Rob Mazurek had a weekly sunday afternoon gig at the Green Mill (of all places.)  This set was recorded in the afternoon also, but it was a saturday.
