Universal Buzz Radio Show - Venue Unknown

From 1:04 to 2:02 on Bright Yellow Gun, there's a really obnoxious station ID that seems to leak into the broadcast, maybe from a microphone/feed that wasn't supposed to be on. It's really annoying.
Track 14 (Bea) is missing a couple of minutes off the beginning.
The entire show is slightly oversaturated and a bit muddy, typical of a cassette recording of an FM broadcast. A great performance throughout

'Gut Pageant'
Middle East, Cambridge, MA     6 May 2000

This show is great. This must have been the Muses gig to be at. It features a re-union line up, including Tanya Donnelly and ends with some solo numbers from Kristin. The quality is good audience standard, with slight distortion when people in the audience yell, but otherwise excellent. The show it self is fantastic. This is not from the MP3 set on beestung.com !
