Longshot here - trying to find a recording of a very small show from upstate New York on July 26, 1995 at a venue called, Saratoga Winners (outside of Albany, NY). The venue is long gone now. Video would be the holy grail. I was at this show and I remember it was not close to full capacity. If anyone has ideas on tracking down a recording, please send them my way. Thanks!
