George Wallace Civic Center bootleg? (4/19/94)

[GracefulSwan]

Been scouring the internet for a looooong time trying to find this but haven't had any luck. The closest I've come was finding a ThePumpkins.net forum thread where a guy claimed to have it but was only interested in trades ...And since it seems impossible to register on that site, I can't even try haggling with him for it.

Anyway, I'm from Fitchburg, MA (where the Wallace Civic Center is located) and being a longtime SP fan who was inspired to start playing music because of them, it would truly mean the world to me if someone could hit me off with this.

I don't know where else to turn or where else to look because I've pretty much exhausted all resources, but I do know that it exists and I'm hoping somebody who has it will read this and help out a fellow hardcore fan.

Fingers crossed

correct. I found a review somewhere weird (maybe an ebay auction for a stub / poster from the show?) that said billy was super pissed at the crowd, hence the short setlist and refusing to sing today

more likely someone hit him with a shoe -- seems to have been a big issue in the 94-97 shows

i never understood the shoe thing. it didn't just happen to the pumpkins. like, did people come with extra shoes or leave without their feet?

We go through shitty things, in life, but many of us are capable of going to work and doing our jobs also

The people who bought tickets to that show were most likely working folks, for example.

Who knows what they were going through that day.

Some of them probably didn't even have feet.

Or a shoe

In the 90s people were crowd surfing and moshing. Shoes come off pretty frequently when you're smooshed together swaying around w/ people surfing overhead. No one was taking shoes off to throw on stage but when a lost shoe ended up in someone's hand it'd get tossed. Inevitably a few would end up on stage....

I miss the 90s.......won't ever get that kinda scene back when everyone has a $500 smartphone in their pocket.
