Looks like Buffalo 1996 is next up on XM. I believe this is the first show after LBU was recorded? Hoping theres some kind recorders out there.

Yes, this show was right after Cobo Hall.
This entire leg of the tour had top professional recording equipment for each show - so this could sound superb (but also, unmastered)
There are a few great audio and video versions of this show circulating.
I have the entire video soundcheck from this show - I thought I had it on Youtube already. I’ll have to look into that.

Hopefully someone can capture this. The boots from '96 are some of the best ones out there, and that entire tour was top notch live Hip at their absolute peak.

FYI: The Hip released 14 songs from this show as SOTD's.

Once again, here is my version of the show. Like the last one I shared, there were lots of dropouts and other minor anomalies, at least one per song. I'm wondering now if these little defects in the recordings are what's stopping them from getting an official release of some kind. I hope not, because they can be fixed, and this is one hell of a show.
Besides the great performance, its also got fantastic sound. Full, balanced, and crisp, with a nice stereo guitar mix. It's about as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned. The SOTD versions really don't do it justice.

I also think the 90's were The Hip's best years, so this is like candy to me.

Enjoy!
