When I first heard Jonathan Fire*Eater’s The Public Hanging of a Movie Star 7″ I didn’t really care for it. Even though I wasn’t that into them, my roommate convinced me to go check them out when they played the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis. I was blown away by how great they were live and I bought the Tremble Under Boom Lights CD the day it came out. A couple of years later I came across someone who had a recording of 4 of the 5 songs from that EP but they were from Waterworks Studio and never officially released.

Wow! that’s great! Do you know if there’s any live recording of JFE?
i think it’s your moral duty to post every single ep you got. i’ve been wanting Tremble for a good while now.
It’s christams, posting JFE live tracks would be the best present! If only I could get the hand on my tape of their show in Paris…
Highly underrated great band. Shame they broke up. This demo doesn’t really do them justice though. The album version is much better.
