There is a slight skip before track 8 begins (present on original copy), and a few audio shifts periodically throughout the show that are only noticeable if you have headphones on. Show Notes: This was one of the shows on Mike Watt's 'Ringspiel' tour in April-May of 1995, supported by the then newly-formed Foo Fighters (of which Grohl, Smear, and Goldsmith were in) and Hovercraft (which featured Vedder on drums and his then-wife Beth Liebling). By the end of the tour, Eddie had stopped playing with the Watt crew because his presence became a distraction with fans only showing up to see him. It's almost impossible to tell who is playing what instrument, it's just a great rock show. Notable on these shows is the premier of the song 'Habit,' which was yet to be premiered by Pearl Jam. It was eventually played a handful of times the rest of the 1995 PJ tour, but it is not known if it was written before or during the 'Ringspeil' tour. ----- This is being distributed by blackredyellow.com, and is part of a series of the best Pearl Jam shows in existence.
