My Rating:  A

This is a great sounding audience recording... totally clear and a very nice mix.  Kurt starts the show off right away (after RFUS) asking Chad Channing to come up on stage.  Things just get worse... He asks Chad to come up on stage before About A Girl (which, he notes, CHAD played on!!!), after About A Girl (Dave does), after Dumb (Dave says "I don't even know you and I want you to come up here..."), after Pennyroyal Tea (they say they're not playing until he goes up, prompting everyone in the auditorium to chat Chad's name.  They ask the house lights to be turned on so they can spot him-- a fan by the mic says "there he is, that's him"-- Chad wasn't at the show.  The band jams for a while while they wait for Chad), and after All Apologies (when Kurt apologizes if he scared Chad, and says he wants to play School with them).    The scream on Drain You is comprable to the one on 12/13/93, though I feel that the Live and Loud scream is still superior.  Kurt sounds awesome on Milk It.  There are a few small cuts in this show (maybe half a second?), but it sounds like it was like that on the original, so no problem. This show is great! I totally recommend it... the sound is really nice for an audience analog, and it sounds like this CDR was made right from the master... don't pass it up!
