There are several Dinosaur Jr recordings, two from the late 80s / early 90s, of which this is the best one: https://archive.org/details/ajc02597_dinosaur-jr-1993-04-10 The other has the better set list (IMHO!) but unfortunately a very "thin" recording with only mids.

No Pixies, but The Amps have one appearance: https://archive.org/details/ajc02207_amps1995-10-31 The performance is ... "uneven"

And four stunning Guided by Voices sets, of which the best is https://archive.org/details/ajc00711_gbv-1999-12-10/GBV1999-...

Fast Car was terrific, thanks for sharing! It is especially amazing considering this recording was made in 1988, just one month and one day (how poetic!) after Fast Car was released as a single.

Yeah. :)

"Talkin' Bout A Revolution" is in there as well, and some stuff marked as "unreleased".

The entire Tracy Chapman recording there is actually really well put together. The volunteers who did the work to transfer it from cassette and clean it up, did an outstanding job on this one.

It is an utterly amazing collection, although not the era I am the most familiar with. However, let me add a few as I love your initiative and went through them all and skimmed the ones below to get a sense of the quality.

Billy Bragg:

* https://archive.org/details/ajc02359_bbragg1988-05-06.ajcpro...

Not the cleanest vocals on either of the recordings, but the former is overall higher quality from what I could tell.

Boogie Down Productions:

Excellent recording and great live act, just a pity that it is rather short.

Mojo Nixon:

Another great live act and recording. I am sure Mojo would very much approve of this being shared as well.

I mean, I thought They Might Be Giants were kinda well known?

I have heard of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and My Bloody Valentine (although I may be thinking of Bullet For My Valentine), though I don't own any of their albums and I can't recall where I know them from. I think both of them were mentioned in some absolute Z-tier fanfic I read once.

Is there an MBV set in this archive? I see the GYBE sets.

Never mind, there they are. I was at one of those 2018 shows!

Thanks, I completely missed that.
