Raw 'n' Alive at the Cellar, Chicago 1966! is a live album by the American garage rock band the Shadows of Knight, and was released on Sundazed Records in 1994. The album consists of recordings from the band's appearance at the Cellar in Arlington Heights, Illinois in December 1966. Although the tapes were never anticipated to be released publicly, Raw 'n' Alive at the Cellar is commended for its good sound quality, and represents one of the better live concert recordings to emerge from the garage rock era.
The Shadows of Knight had initially come to national prominence in early-1966, when their less-risqué interpretation of Them's "Gloria" reached number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on Canada's RPM magazine charts. Further successes followed with the band releasing their debut album, Gloria, and reaching the Top 40 for the second time with a cover version of Bo Diddley's song "Oh Yeah". Throughout the first half of 1966, the band enjoyed tremendous popularity among teenage rock fans and their music received widespread airplay on Top 40 radio. In the latter half of 1966, the Shadow of Knight's second album, Back Door Men, was released, but was less commercially successful than the band's first LP. Combine with the rise of their rival act the Cryan' Shames, the group's popularity was on the decline nationally, though they still remained a top musical attraction in Chicago.
