Wharf Rat
Oct. 13, 1994
Madison Square Garden

silky and passionate, perfect storytelling, positively soaring vocal and superb weir and welnick!!! Excellent clock ticking effects on "i'll live the life i should", existential pitter pattering like rain in the gutters. The sound of a dramaturge unaware of the tyranny backstage, he isn't in on the joke, everything is in the future tense cuz ur already empty and fucked. Magnificent pinwheeling buffet outro. Must hear second set, touchdown selections with searching interpretation.
The Other One
Oct. 13, 1994
Madison Square Garden

The forlornly linear and holistically accounted for space gives way to an unhinged metal TO1 dripping with menace spooky midi drums with ravenously aggressive rapid fire smashing and scratching lashing effects... Not for casual fans
Drums -> Space

Madison Square Garden

First rate, thoughtfully emotional Billy, classic cafe-side cappucino chat as he swirls into Mickey's plane of deep consciousness boiling thru this thing adding flourishes of ambient rays before a hot bobby entrance and lightning rod vince. Opulent space full of outbursts of softly undulating light in sound vibrations. Shackleton and co on the circuit ride expedition, fueled by fight or flight death drive.

Uncle John's Band
Oct. 13, 1994
Madison Square Garden

if you don't know 94 uncle john, you need to, it's a year when they would take this tune for beautiful clear shoreline jogs, off-leash, high tide. Stand alone goliath UJB, Terrific vibe, jerry's notes careen and barrel with expert abandon but also an encouraging gandalf smile, as if in between spinning yourself silly in the aisles of MSG you could sit down by the fire and blow a couple of solos along with them on this focused and generous night. Raise it... worth a listen!!
