Taper: Unknown
Lineage: Audio - AUD (Handheld Cassette Recorder)
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
Notes: Not sure who recorded this show. It might be by someone named "Rooster". They used to post on the spooky kids mailing list back in 1995 but soon vanished from trading itself. The recording itself is rather hissy, probably a high gen cassette transfer.

Taper: GP
Lineage: Audio - AUD (Unknown DAT Master)
Rating: 4 out of 5
Notes: This is a huge addition to the archive. This tape would have been lost forever if it hadn't been for elegymart and stonecutter for going saving this from the trash. Big thank you to them for taking this tape and sending it to me. GP taped a lot of shows in the 80-90s and many of them are unplayed. I assume this tape hadn't been played since being recorded. This is from the 2nd night of NY run. As the DAT was mislabeled. GP also taped the Roseland Ballroom show in May of 1994 and sounds incredible. Sadly, the mic must have gotten disconnected at one point, as much of the tape is missing and kicks back in half way through the show. As for this recording, it is the best source to be released from this date. At the beginning of the show, the volume fluctuates a bit and I did my best to mitigate the wavering of levels. Once I get an update from GP about what they potentially used for recording, I will add it to the show's archive page. Still amazing to see older shows being unearthed like this almost 30 years later.
