The two CDs comprising Half Alive In Hollywood were each recorded in much the same location during two successive Februarys - CD 1 in 1995 (in the digital studio at Musician's Institute in Hollywood), CD 2 in 1996 (on stage in the concert venue of the Institute.) Both discs were recorded live to master tape; the song titles driven largely Keneally's solo albums, but with massively different treatments. There are also a few songs which haven't been released before, and some cover tunes. Above all, the songs on Half Alive In Hollywood are documents of what Beer For Dolphins circa '95-early '96 (Keneally, Bryan Beller and Tom Panos) sounded like when they were in a mood to rage. Now dive in. Rock, total running time, 2 hr+ - Mike Keneally & BFD @ iTunes!
