"God I miss the days when the Fellers would roll through Portland 
once or twice a year.  In this case, it was to be the first visit 
of two within 45 days. This one being the start of the tour and the 
latter being the last of the tour. I'll try to get that one up soon."

I arrived a little late and missed the first 2 songs, otherwise show 
is complete (though tape flips at the ends of tracks 9 & 18 did cut 
a smidge out...early in the taping days, what can I say?).  Of the 4 
or 5 times I taped them, this is my most listened-to show and I do 
love it so very much.  Interesting that Brian's description below os 
that the show was tense and not much fun. To us in the crowd it was 
stellar."

From Brian's Tour Diaries: Fall 1994

Friday Sept. 30
Left Bay Area at 8:30PM in a sate of carefully propped up optimism. 
This morning I, for the first time, seriously pulled a lower back 
muscle.  In a fit of crankiness I tried to throw or shove my bed 
across the room to sweep under it. I knew when the pain hit that all 
was as it must be. Each tour seems doomed for me at the beginning 
(all this seems wrong as I write it.).
In truth, at this moment, yesterday seems swampy and infused with 
waiting/avoidance and sleep; hours of laying around trying to heal 
quickly and attempts at picking out Hawaiian melodies inspired by 
the Ledward Kapana show I'd seen with Margaret on Wednesday night.

--GHENGIS KHAN MOTOR INN. RUBBING THE RUBY ROAD--

Two and a half month leave of absence. John M comes to visit on my 
first day off work. John was very bizarre and quiet loaded and patient 
(humble?) respectful and closed.
I tried to watch Star Trek with him and a few minutes into the program 
I turned to see him sitting very erect reading a magazine.  I quite 
often entered the living room and found him siting or standing very 
erect and reading whatever happened to be lying around.  He seemed an 
unwavering observer, free of preference almost.

We flew to New York for one show (!) at CMJ at IRVING PLAZA. 3 1/2 day 
trip w/ two all-nighters--the show a failure by attendance standards. 
Matador disappointed but not in us. We arrived in Manhattan at 6:30 AM 
and couldn't get into a hotel until 10 or 11 so we walked through 
midtown during morning rush; intersections filled with people jay-walking 
and panic-dispersing when cars roar into their midst honking and bouncing.
Nathan my nephew was at the show. It poured rain all night.

My back is a constant anchor to spirit and temperance.

We played at the Satyricon with Superconductor. It was packed and our two 
sets were not relaxed and not that fun.
Hugh's distortion box was stolen from the stage. He rampaged for nearly 
an hour loudly and violently cursing and throwing things. It was a little 
bit funny.  We stayed at Kathy Molloy's w/ some of Superconductor. It was 
quiet and comfortable.
