NY Avenue, July 21, 1992

No tape for the Carringtons gig the following night.  That would have most definitely been a double-bill with The Skels.

I'm starting to think July was our best month in '92!  Every show from this month is mighty mighty mighty! Take this one, us at NY Avenue, practically a stone's throw from The Red House, played 23 years ago this very night!

We get right down to business by kicking off this show with "Gimme Fun".  Lawrence is in great form on this show!  So is Hubie, guitar-wise!  And vocal, too, Hubie's having a great night.   So's Steve!  I'm giving them the MVP awards on this one!  Not to say that Ted and I aren't pulling our weight!  Someone comes up to Chris during "Some Other" to talk about how great the harmonies sound.  Aw shucks.

The "circus-era" LOOB outside NY Avenue, post-show, summer '92. Clockwise from top: Michael Goodman, Ted Schreiber, Lawrence Krauser, Steven Goodman, Hubert Poole. click to enlarge.

"Some Other" is one of the best versions I've heard. Hubie plays great on this one.  Really nice "Return Britain" which Ted introduces as a song we haven't done in awhile.

Nothing much to say.  I think this is one of the best-sounding  NY Avenue tapes I've heard, mix-wise.  It's just a nice solid show, concise, everyone in a good mood, everyone playing well.

We were having a good month, that's for sure!
