Ira: All right New Haven, how ya doin'?!
(dead silence, followed belatedly by a couple "yeah!"s from the audience.)
Ira: (somewhat dispiritedly) Well, we're glad to hear it.
An early show; pretty raw. Apparently there were only about a dozen
people in attendance. "Did I Tell You" is the pre-Fakebook "rock"
version (!). "White Rabbit" is an early version of "Demons" with Ira
singing and totally different lyrics. Some songs delivered with
unconvincing braggadocio; others sung unaffectedly though (nice "House
is Not a Motel"). "For the Turnstiles" can't touch the '95 KCRW
version, but it's better than their studio version. Masterful
transition between "Clunk" and "The Evil that Men Do". Tape break in
long jam at end of the latter. Some brilliant flickers in the noise
but there is a lot of noise!
