after listening for a while, I realized that the performance wasn't going to get those girls to shut up. i must say, however, that it's a fine performance of an album i thought was truly inspirational (many disagree).
you should check it out if only for the lineup... there's a lot of fine music behind all these guys.

Notes

Notes:
This show is from Mike Watt's 1995 Ringspiel tour, and includes Eddie Vedder
(vocals, guitar), Dave Grohl (drums), Pat Smear (guitar, vocals), and William
Goldsmith (drums) as Watt's backing band.

"Habit" is sung by Eddie. The song later became a Pearl Jam song. "Forever -
One Reporter's Opinion" features dual-drumming, with Will on the main set and
Dave playing Hovercraft's more diminutive drum set. (Hovercraft opened the
evening - Eddie played drums for their set, wearing a wig to disguise
himself.) "The Red and the Black" is a Blue Oyster Cult song. "Secret
Garden" is a Madonna song, sung by Pat Smear. (Pat was spotted outside during
the break in Watt's set scribbling the lyrics onto a legal pad.)

Similar to the Foo Fighters set from this show, Source 1 has been
speed-corrected. Also, the gap during the tape flip on Source 1 (at the
beginning of "Secret Garden") has been filled from Source 2.

Source 1 is missing all of "Walking the Cow" and most of "Big Train", so those
have been added from the second source. However, Source 2 also lacks most of
"Walking the Cow". This is likely as "complete" as this recording will get.

I've included "bigtrain-source1.flac", which is the incomplete section of "Big
Train" from the beginning of Source 1. It seamlessly replaces tracks 1 and 2.
