    I think I prefer this version to any PJ one....IMO. At least I know I've listened to this version more than any Pj one.

    I wonder if the whole show was pro shot. I think I remember this being played on much music years ago. Did you happen to find against the 70 s?

    There's a great video on YouTube from the Chicago show of the tour...might be the whole show but I definitely remember the Daniel Johnston cover Walking the Cow, Chinese Firedrill, and maybe Against the 70s. Good shit.

    I saw them on this tour in STL at a little club called Mississippi Nights in 95'. Still one of the best shows of my life. For me, by far the best version of Habit I've ever heard was played that night. Probably didn't hurt that I was standing 5ft away from Mike Waat, Eddie Vedder, Pat Smear + Dave Grohl on drums. Might arguably be my favorite concert I've ever seen.

    I know off topic, but I love this Habit (and I see red) with Liam because it was just fun and unexpected.

    Unfortunately not. This is all I got...

    $8.50 for the ticket!! What also made this night was the Foo Fighters opened and their first record wasn't even out yet so other than a few songs that had been played on Monkeywrench Radio it was all unheard material! I'll never forget Grohl's first line when he came out. The crowd was going crazy cheering, he waited, settled us down and said... "settle down, for all you guys know we could completely fucking suck!" Classic. Also, Hovercraft played first and Ed was on the drums with a Beatles wig and sunglasses on. Pretty sure about 3/4 the crowd had no idea it was him. Man, what a fucking great night.

    Oh and I still have a terrible t shirt from the show. Its orange and not very cool at all but I remember buying it just so I had something from that night.
