  In the years leading up to the live recording on November 30, 1998, the Misfits were undergoing significant changes. By this time, the band had released their album "American Psycho" in 1997, which marked a major shift in their sound and lineup. This was the first album featuring vocalist Michale Graves, following the departure of founding member Glenn Danzig. The Astoria concert captures the Misfits at a dynamic point in their career, showcasing their attempt to reestablish themselves in the punk rock community after a prolonged hiatus since the late 1980s. Interestingly, "American Psycho" was both commercially successful and instrumental in reintroducing the band to a new generation of fans. The live performance from the Astoria illustrates the group's energetic stage presence and their efforts to synthesize classic Misfits elements with a contemporary approach, solidifying their legacy in the punk genre.
