1994.05.19 - Pontiac, MI, USA @ Phoenix Plaza Amphitheatre
Source: Analog --- Aiwa CM-30 > Toshiba Walkman
Taper: Bubzdaddy
Gen: 2nd from Master
Notes: If nothing else, this is, at least, the only known recording of this otherwise lost performance - until the taper gave it out in early 2006 that is. Recording features a distant sound, is slightly bass distorted at points, has a plethora of tape hiss that permeates throughout, quite a bit of phasing & a literal white-noise of crowd-noise. At times, it is overbearing. On one hand, it is rather cool the taper recorded this show in the first place. It is also refreshing to listen to random people yell at the band. It is recommended that this recording be only for strictest of collectors who can handle a collectors item & enjoy it for what it is: a very raw audience recording of an otherwise un-surfaced performance. I get the impression the taper was recording shows more for the enjoyment of seeing a show, hanging out with friends & seeing a band rather than focusing on "nailing" a show with an amazing recording. All things considered, I personally prefer this type of recording from time to time.
