Amazing recording and thank you for sharing. Like finding a long lost Holy Grail bootleg in the 1990's before the internet. You can hear some of the songs that were later tweeked (especially Wrap Your Arms Around Me), yet the energy and their sound is so fresh, dynamic, and there. Crazy to have that much stage presence that you can actually hear on tape. I can now see why there was so much stupid criticism of the group in the early 1990's, as they were just so good so fast, people expected too much. Toronto haters and snobs can be so ridiculous sometimes. Instead they just became one of the most beloved Canadian groups ever, so screw them.

thank you so much for posting this!
do you have the Ultrasound show recorded? I think it was from around '91 as well.

That Smiths cover is really something.

I love this, but 12:16 is the piece de resistance.
