A great, punchy FOB of a great show with lots of guest stars, and two back-to-back Jack Straws.  Everyone was up and dancing, except for Buzz Killington yelling "sit dowwwwn" at the very beginning of NFA.  Whatever, dude.

The performance was video taped for PBS's In The Spotlight- A PBS Special, which is why the band started End of the Innocence three times, and two takes of Jack Straw and Spider Fingers.  It's not clear what was wrong with the first takes, but the second Spider Fingers probably looked a lot better on film with the whole venue up and dancing.  The PBS video may have aired during a pledge drive, but does not seem to have been released by PBS.  Several unofficial DVDs exist, e.g, "Bruce Hornsby & Friends - Live 1995" (Hybrid Records, 2004) or "Bruce Hornsby, One Night in Manhattan" (The Store For Music 2011).
Enjoy!
