Enjoying this one today, again. This tape is absolutely phenomenal. Suggestion is the turning point here, the song that really lights this motherfucker up, and from here on out, it’s just highlights really. Note the Sweet and Low & Slow Dance combination. Guy urging their sound engineer Joey [Picuri] to “bring up the house man, bring up the house” in anticipation of another prodigious version of Glueman gives me chills every time I hear it. And only just now it fully registered with me that Irma Thomas comes on over the PA right after Fugazi finishes their set, appropriately singing We Got Something Good. We sure do Ms Thomas, we sure do...
Excellent Repeater.
Several band members fondly remember this particular concert and mark it as excellent to this very day. Listening to this recording again and again, I can only agree. Hear Guy rejoice in the first rays of sunshine well into the tour, hear Ian count in German during Repeater. Such little happenings, combined with a very balanced set list that draws generously from all available albums at that time as well as from the yet to be released In On The Kill Taker album (1993, note the Cassavetes instrumental that kicks off this show) and a killer performance make this show a definite keeper and another highlight addition to the series. Jetzt Geht's Los!
"one of our best shows ever I think, if memory serves me well.
in a circus tent. I think Christo had the Reichstag wrapped right next door."

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.
Joey Picuri added some interesting effects from the soundboard on several of the songs, notably Waiting Room and Repeater.
