Media CDR   1 disc
Notes SEEDER'S Notes: As of Dec. 2002, this show is the earliest audience recording to surface. There may be others, hopefully, there will be. The recording itself is not so bad. Decent levels & all but it is a little bit muffled. However, this was definitely transferred from a cassette of unknown generation to a CDR. Somewhere, there may be a slightly better recording generation but only this version has surfaced onto CD. The performance itself is very raw, loud & (a little) angry. There are a few cuts, skips, track transitions & also a liberal amount of tape-hiss to coat the recording -- for those reasons, this may be considered best left for collector's. On the other hand, I think every fan should hear just how good this band is when they were unknown & playing for maybe 50 attentive people. From here, they can only go up in the music business. Also, I think that the most amazing performance of Sweat -ever- is on this recording...Also, the audience does not really seem to like Tool very much at all. A bit hostile, you can hear people chatting about the band.

Maynardism: "I love Boston."
