Continuing my deep dive into my ancient GSW recordings, I present BARN243, the next opportunity I had to see them after their historic 12/31/94 NYE show.  At this point I was ready to see/hear GSW at every opportunity possible, so I trekked up to tiny Amenia, NY, about 100 miles north of NYC to see them, along with fellow Wino, Shari Krauser.


The band brought out their best, in a truly rocking, high-energy show — you can hear the band taking the momentum (and some of the covers, played electric instead of acoustic) from on their amazing NYE performance from 2 weeks before and building on it by experimenting with the form and structure of some of the songs for some spontaneous modifications:
Guitar solo intro and bass soloing nightingale
Interesting percussion breakdown in the middle of a crazy all-over-the-place spectacular Hellfire
Breathtaking version of Run To You
Bass breakdown in Gretchen and super strong ending
Mile By Mile has an unusual jam in it
Extreme rarity of them covering "Over The Rainbow"

Unfortunately the recording starts out a little shaky in the first track -- you can hear me getting set up plus you can hear a loose mic cable and a few other small anomalies in the first song, but after that it becomes really good sounding.  And you can hear that I moved to a better sounding location for the second set.

This show was previously unheard for MANY MANY years until "muziklvr" shared Mike Buzzeo's soundboard recording on archive.org just 2 months ago!  Either version is a great listen!!!

ENJOY!
