I’m getting back into the swing of listening to the collection in chronological order since fall tour has ended and just kicked off the Fall 94 tour. I know it’s a beaut because I used to have lots of these shows on tape. This one though really doesn’t have anything too crazy going on. The Reba is good (as are all from 94) but pretty standard. The Tweezer is really cool for a few minutes before they pull it back into the then standard Lifeboy segue. Tour opener after being off for 3 months so you wouldn’t expect anything too fancy. Not a bad show by any means but if you’re looking for something around this time frame to check out I’d go elsewhere.
