Live: Omaha to Osaka
Live: Omaha to Osaka is L7's first live album, released on 15 December 1998 by Man's Ruin Records. The title tells you how it was put together: the first eleven songs were captured at a club in Omaha, Nebraska, and the remainder at a club in Osaka, Japan, so the record moves from the American Midwest to Japan in a single sitting.
It arrived between two studio records, The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum from 1997 and Slap-Happy in 1999, which makes it a useful snapshot of the band at work in small venues. For anyone who knows L7 mainly from their grunge-era studio albums, such as Bricks Are Heavy or Hungry for Stink, this is a chance to hear how those songs sound in the room.
