Velvet Crush - Osaka, Japan 1994 + bonus

Club Quattro
Osaka, Japan
July 25, 1994

audience recording

sound quality: VG+ (quite good sound from master tape source; very little crowd noise — except when you expect & want it with a club show like this)

Velvet Crush served up tasty musical caffeine from 1990 to 2004

REPERCUSSION: Mitch Easter not only produced VC’s acclaimed Teenage Symphonies to God album, he also joined the band as a supplemental guitarist for a coupla weeks on the subsequent tour (including this show). And the other “name” non-band-member guitarist who toured later with the band? That was Tommy Keene

HIGHLIGHTS: this one's all highlight; a really exceptional performance...
