Notes: Excellent sound. Probably as close as we are going to get to an official release...

Notes: “Not sure it meant much to the majority of the crowd that night but it did to me. Despite the fact the ‘Mats were on thier best behavior that night I was moved. Met Paul at the Troc in Phila in 94 and asked him about that night. He looked at me over the bridge of his glasses, in his pajama bottoms and responsed, “That is near Hartford right?” I said yes. He laughed. Took a big drag of his cigarette and said “nice to meet you man.” Then started his set ......30 minutes late.” - Bret A.

  3. I was at this show! Took a half day vacation to do so. Rode the roller coasters, watched the Mats with a couple hundred other fans, and then skipped out on Tom Petty.

  4. My parents were at this show! They were there for Tom Petty, but my mom was impressed enough to buy all the Mats back catalog
