Party Hall with Stench and Aspirin Feast. At one point, everyone in the room got down during a quiet part, then jumped up all at once out of a break. It shocked me and made me laugh. $130.

Excellent show. The venue is extremely small and intimate - looks sort of like a YMCA club. The club is filled to the brim with tons of punks who really get into the band. These guys dance and jump around all over the place. It's a beautiful sight, especially because so many people already know the band's songs and lyrics. Furthermore, there is no stage; the band is right in the middle of the crowd. They start off with the instrumental Welcome To Our Band. Two songs later, an ace version of Down is played. The break in between "Can't you hear the sound of..." is interminably long and some people even think the song is over. But the fans up front are smiling and waiting for the band to blast back into the song with "machines all breaking down." Great moment. Lawn is really energetic and tight. Great version of You're Right, as well. Fine Day begins with an amusing false start. Later during Equalized, Blake's mic falls over briefly before someone catches it for him. At one point late in the show, a man steps up to the mic and delivers a mini-rant about respect and responsibility in reference to vandalism of private property, among other things. Before Eye-5, Blake somehow gets the whole crowd to kneel down with him, and he plays part of the song in this manner. Shield Your Eyes is the standard early live version.

The quality of the show is bittersweet. From a strictly quality-hungry vantage point, it leaves much to be desired. The video camera is shaky at times, and the sound is average; audible, but not entirely clear with low vocals and overdriven instruments. Regardless, the tape manages to capture the frenetic mood of the show, and it's possible that the rough recording works to enhance that aspect of the performance. Needless to say, this video is my favorite live Jawbreaker tape.
