I sang a little while and then flew on.

trip in was rough, 4 deaheads to one hockey fan, just want to say the band was awsome opening night Brent spot on

saw this one with CMU folk , IT WAS A TREAT!

Overall: good show, but not quite as strong as night before, IMO. Why is there a dearth of decent recordings of these Pitt shows? Of the multiple recordings on Archive of these two nights, this is the only decent recording.

The scene: after the disasters of the night before, this night had a cloud hanging over it. Police state in PA. I also remember hearing rumors that the band was really pissed off about the irresponsible behavior of people crashing the gates (duh, I was pretty pissed myself!). Nonetheless, they came out and still played a great show.

The music: Not quite the heavy hitter of the night before, but still interesting song selections and good play. El Paso was a bit of “break-out” as they hadn’t played it in quite some time. The Phil chanters got a decent Tom Thumb’s. Another second set Brent opener, with a ripping Blow Away. Whole second set is fairly strong. Brent is really prominent in these shows, which in my book is awesome, but some (crazy people!) don't agree.

Super show...when should be been studying for
PITT finals. Nearly broke up with boyfriend that
night....who is now my husband. Never did like
the late '80s shows / the Brent years.

Jerry sounds real cool at this show...this was the height of GD redux

Really good sound on this one. Worth repeated listening, so grab it from the server.

I was comming from NYC...Friend was in from Germany (army )...Went with 8 of my closest friends....Made with major driving problems...got lossed a few times ..(no sleep - no map-Etc...)So any who we were ther for the first show had a motel room ...My friend Jerry after the first night ..couldnt find him waited for what seemed like hours...To no avail went back to the motel partyed...slept...Next mornning i left real early hoping to find ol jerry....Stopped at a pay phone. wouldnt you know it there lay good old Jerry curled in a ball..Dead heads any where you need to lay your head it will be so... Grateful TIMES ...lol Peace

This show sounds amazing compared to the night previous. Pure Soundboard. Show fades in on GSET during the firest verse. Slight digital static sround 1 minute mark of GSET. 5 star sound, 3+ star performance-wise.

This is a very different show than the 1st night - also a great show, but with a far more mellow, easy-going pace. Some interesting song choices and placements (Greatest Story opener!). Double encore is always nice too - good show!

I liked the first night better, but this is a nice show. El Paso was a great surprise. Jerry blew the opening lyrics to Bertha, but got stronger the rest of the night. Good sbd here as well.

Very nice first set with a nice arrangement of Greatest Story>Bertha, JAR, El Paso, etc.
Well played, solid throughout. Nothing spectacular, but we were fairly spoiled at this juncture.

In terms of wine vintages - Just short of a benchmark year. Otherworldly fall tour leaves unforgettable finish. 96.

This is all Wier for me. I have been looking for a SBD of this show for 15 years. The first night gets all the rave, and for good reason. I however was partial to Bobby during this phase, it was just one of the zillion reasons that I was there. The backhand, the antics, name it. Anyway during El Paso he had this shining blue light on him and it was just majestic. Mydland's vocals are tight. Now I am rambling.
Thanks for the Board! I give it a 5 but I am not objective.
