Setlist

Show Notes

  • Mumia Benefit Concert. Proceeds from this concert went to the legal defenses of Mumia. This caused quite a bit of controversy - New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, State Police Superintendent Carl A. Williams, and State Attorney General Peter G. Verniero denounced the concert and urged ticket holders to seek refunds and boycott the show. Only recorded performances of Mic Check and Maria, and the version of Testify played differs from the album version. Chuck D of Public Enemy came out and gave a speech near the encore.

JB once again provided a full send taping from the left of the venue for this incredible concert. This is the two-cam mix that is made up of a left and center shot.

Notes

Acquired in February 2021 via the mighty DiGUM - huge thanks for providing me with this tape! This is an awesome sounding recording. There is a screamer between songs so brace yourselves, but everything is totally clear while the band plays. The tape seems to have Down Rodeo twice: I think there was either a transfer glitch or recording glitch and Vietnow is not present. Highly recommended download - you can't go wrong with this source or the Marcsounds version!

An interview shared on YouTube originally aired by MTV features the Beastie Boys and a snippet of Rage performing Bulls on Parade. Shot from the soundboard, unclear if more footage was broadcast

Another great tapeworm tape! His notes: Location: FOB, left side risers, 1st or 2nd section from stage. Benefit for Mumia Abu Jamal. Black Star, Bad Religion, and Beastie Boys opened the show. 3 new songs debuted this evening with alternate lyrics. Level adjustment during the first song. Thanks to AC for hooking me up with tickets for this gig. Previous transfers were performed with an analog EQ and CDR generations. This is a raw transfer of the master DAT in 2011 with no fades or EQ.

A huge thanks to Alan for sending this over. I cannot thank you enough for providing the archive with an uncirculated master recording from one of Rage's most legendary sets. This tape sat untransferred for 24 years!

JB shot from the upper left of the venue and got some unbelievable footage. This is the same left angle on the two cam mix that commonly circulated. Full send!

Notes

This was bought at Bleeker Street Records off West 4th Street back in the late 90s/early 00s. The CD has Mic Check, Maria, and Testify out of order and Testify listed as "Hendrix" so my guess is that this was made shortly after the show. It does not appear to be one of the existing, circulating sources. No identifying marks of who made it on the CD.
