ROB SEZ: 1991 must have been a good year to be Jellyfish. They’d recently signed a record deal, and their debut album Bellybutton was getting rave reviews. Before commercial challenges and intra-band problems set in, the future looked bright for Jellyfish. As for musical chops, the band's original lineup was probably the peak — including the blazingly talented Jason Falkner on guitar & backing vocals. You can hear the musical results in these two shows.

FM capture (sound quality VG; probably a multi-generation copy of original source tape, but overall sound is quite decent)

In the end, perhaps space was the final frontier for Jellyfish...
