This is a nice mid-west show. Decent bootleg, first half audience, second half soundboard. Reasonably balanced. Can't complain too much about first set. Pretty solid with the exception of a few rough spots in the newer songs It's Ice and Rift. Not bad just a little uncertain in the solo...

This was my first experience with TAB. I barely got a ticket and made the hour and a half drive to Minneapolis after dipping out of class an hour early. Due to the show being sold out my friends could not attend and I ended up there solo. I was excited none the less. I don't listen to much TAB...

Still continuing to mimic their spring tour dates, we return to First Avenue for the last performance at this venue. Sixteenth show of fall tour. Not too bad of a recording with a decent balance. A little too much crowd noise for my taste. It's been a little while, but we have the new...

TAB has been really hot this tour! From what I have listened to from Denver Ogden shows and a few taper recorded shows, they really are having a great time...and so are we!!! This First Ave show was the best TAB I have seen/heard in a long time! I'll throw down some highlights below: Cayman...

-> in from "Fee." Unusual breakdown at 10:27, followed by "Manteca"-like jamming.
1992-12-07 Reba (12:33) Set 2
A big boatload of energy underscores a goofy composed section rife with screaming, yelling, and fan interaction. Mike's playing is particularly strong, with Trey responding in kind, the musicians bouncing ideas one off the other with great verve and tenacity, but never at the expense of sheer musicality. Fish and Page soon reinsert themselves into the fray and, seemingly, the music becomes informed by "two minds." A really cool and fun version.
Santana-esque jam.
1992-04-29 It's Ice (8:39) Set 1
Another good organ rocker with great Mike.
