It's a true treasure to be able to experience this show again after so many years. It was one of the first concerts I ever attended, and the first of many Fugazi shows to come. I was 15 at the time, and so many of the events from this performance have stuck with me over the years: the rainy drive up to Atlanta, the band standing in the wings watching Shudder to Think's set, the assholes in the crowd who kept interrupting the show, Guy talking about buying a pad of paper at the nearby Kroger and trying to write letters, etc. Thanks for give me a chance to re-live all of this.

Please Note: Available recordings have been mastered to correct for volume shifts, drop outs, etc. but some sonic anomalies will still exist, especially early in the set when the mix is being settled. The band has rated each show for sound quality and set the general price of a download at $5 per show. If you have a different price in mind feel free to utilize the alternative pricing option.
Even though the band tries their best to put up a solid show, there are several drawbacks that hamper the effort. I think Guy mentions at some point that he is feeling a bit under the weather which reflects in his singing; it falls short and sounds notably less intense on this particular night. Add on top of this some tedious arguments with a select group of people in the audience, and it makes for a rather average recording, although it gradually picks up. For collectors of the series, or persons having attended the show...
