Opening for Fishbone

This is an exceptionally good recording for analog source. This recording surfaced Sept. 2002 and hasn't been circulating before. The reason for this: The taper told me he wasn't satisfied and it was not among his best masters and therefore hadn't traded it out. Considering it was for a collection, he didn't mind trading it to me. I guess that says more about his taping standard and proffesionalism, because it sounds amazing. There's a slight tape hiss, but listened to this with headphones and without needing to adjust/equalize anything!. Very well balanced and bass, guitar, drums and vocal very clear. Right before Prison sex kicks off, you can hear a plastic cup being dropped on the floor, then roll over and someone kicks it. Maybe not very interesting, but just to explain the clarity on this rec. The tape has a couple of tape flutters. Sound varies a bit (volume), but the master tape had this problem. As for Tool performance, they are really aggressive, intense and precise. This recording is definately one of my favourite early shows!
