Show notes: 
A very fun show to listen to, the band were almost 2 weeks into their UK tour at this point, and provided the crowd with a highly entertaining show. Show highlights include rare covers of The Replacements' Color Me Impressed (Stipe not too confident on the lyrics) and Jason and the Scorchers' Broken Whiskey Glass (much more confident on the lyrics), which were requests, Stipe revealing that Driver 8 is basically a rewrite of Wichita Lineman, and a rare peformance of Camera, played because a few audience members were relentless with yelling it out! All up, this is a really great fun show to listen to. 

Torrent notes: 
I acquired a copy of this show from someone online recently, and having never seen it torrented before, thought it deserved a run on Dime. It's an audience recording from a tape of unknown generation - there was a bit of hiss present in the recording which I removed with Audacity, as well as giving it a bit of a volume boost. It's not a perfect recording by any means, and at times one channel is louder than the other, but not enough to distract in my opinion, and the uniqueness of the setlist makes it worth a listen. I will include samples for those on the fence, but in my opinion is a very listenable recording. For those that want pristine audio and exact lineage and recording equipment information, probably not one for you, but if you can endure some flaws you will be rewarded with a terrific and rarely heard show.

I have added an ffp and md5 file, and a picture of the poster for the show. Thanks to the unknown taper for preserving these precious memories.
