Chaos Rules: Live at the Trocadero is a live album by the punk band the Dead Milkmen. [1] [2] It was released by Restless Records on November 8, 1994. [3] Chaos Rules contains one song from Soul Rotation and none from Not Richard, But Dick , as the group could not work out a deal with Hollywood Records, their former record label. [4]
The album was recorded at the Trocadero Theatre, in the band's hometown of Philadelphia. [5] The Trocadero also served as the venue for the Dead Milkmen's first reunion show, in 2004, performed in honor of their late bass player, Dave Schulthise. [6]

The Tennessean wrote that the album "showcases the Milkmen at their anarchistic best." [11] Trouser Press called the album "a slapdash greatest-hits concert record," writing that "most of the renditions are surprisingly worse than the originals." [12]
AllMusic wrote that the songs "document the group's prime period, even if these versions don't quite compare to the originals." [7]
