Why has no one reviewed this stellar show? It obviously gets overlooked from a week of great shows but dont miss this second set!! The Antelope in particular is an off the hook, lightning fast rager, not to be missed and deserves a spot as one of the best ever played...
In May '92, my brother and I were big Blues Traveler fans.

Gumbo: Page shines on the baby grand at the end of this Gumbo before > into rift.
SOAMelt: Intense, energy packed jam...
