    Finally getting to SEE the incendiary guitar solo in this performance of "Starla" after 25 years is really terrific.

    I got the cd bootleg of this show back in 1995. I've listened to it so so many times I have every musical nuance memorized. Now to see the band, and see how much fun it looks like they (or at least Billy) is having really makes me happy. Bless you Dr. Copperpot. You are doing the Lord's work. Thank you.

    I think James Iha and D'Arcy never switched places on stage... I wonder why....may be its part of the blissful magic of their harmony

      Off the top of my head I know of one show where James was on the left and D’arcy on the right - at the Boardwalk in Manchester, 1992. No idea the reasoning but I do know James played bass during soundcheck though that could have been a regular occurrence.

    Thanks for stabilizing this video. Now it’s at least watchable. God, this is like a lifetime ago! Billy with a full head of hair. He looked normal here. What a great tour this was! It was over 23 years ago. Man, time is flying. The decades fly by! Fine but what really bugs me is I can’t tell the difference between years half the time. The years are all bundled up. 2001, 2002, 2003. What’s the difference there?. I can’t recall any individual year. It’s all a blur and a block of years. 94 I remember because Kurt Died. 2004 I don’t recall or 2014. See what I mean. They were all nondescripts years that flew by. 👏🏻🎸😎

    He really had it at the time. The confidence, and his hands could play whatever he wanted. Too bad D'arcy was your classic ego that never figured out they weren't really the talent. Noel Redding redux. And no, internet drones. Corgan isn't Hendrix. It was just a comparison of fairly vanilla talent not really understanding who they're playing for.
    Like when the CCR boys wanted THEIR songs and to SING on a CCR album. And that foray of the ego is documented as 'Mardi Gras'.

      It was recorded w/ a Hi8 camcorder + tripod (not by me / some UK guy). TravisBickle1963 (UA-cam: ua-cam.com/users/TravisBickle1963videos) recently acquired a batch of Hi8/MiniDV concert master tapes from the filmer of this. He captured it to lossless UT and sent me the 30gb AVI. I processed: Virtualdub(QTGMC > 25 field/sec to 50 frames/sec), Neat video 5.2 for video noise, created an audio matrix using the 2 sources and audio VSTs, synced the audio to the video by frame/song, rendered to high bit-rate MP4 (~11gb), uploaded to youtube. I don't use handbrake.
