Coinciding with the release of their album "Fashionably Late", in May 1988 the Slickee Boys embarked on a brief tour of Europe. "Live at Last" is a document of one night on that tour, at Ubu in Rennes, France. It was released in April 1989 on the New Rose label (ROSE 169) on LP and CD; in the US it came out on Giant (on LP and cassette, catalog number GRI6037). The CD version of this album contain two extra tracks, "Your Autumn Eyes" and "(Are You Gonna Be There at The) Love-In". They perform songs from all but the earliest part of their (at that point) twelve-year career, including the band's last original song (which had not been released at the time of the show), "This Party Sucks". Cover versions include songs originally by the French punk band the Dogs, the Status Quo, the Afrika Korps, and the Chocolate Watchband. Not long after their European tour, founding member Kim Kane departed to focus on his other band, Date Bait. He was replaced by long-time roadie/sound guy/guest vocalist John Hanson until the band's farewell show in December 1990.
