1st Set

2nd Set

6th show of Winter/Spring '90 tour @FirstOntario Centre, and typical of the tour. This is the first of the "Spring 90" tour to actually take place in the Spring. It's as good as the following night, with different highlights, but known for the He's Gone. The band was very smooth and consistent in Winter/Spring '90, with very professional production, few flubs and no disasters. But there were also fewer all-time stellar/ace performances - that's just what the era was like. The first set is under an hour, and if yr starting with the tour and looking for the best, try 3/15, 3/24 and especially 3/29.First Set. Decent start and a great. Not sure what Bobby was trying with "Caynont girls" - maybe a new portmanteau demonym for Canadian-Ontarian (is portmonym a word or can I claim it?). T right here in Hamilton. The rest is average-to-good with the end-solo ofsoaring.Second Set.is a fine start. At the time,usually went into Playing or UJB - though it did go into Cumberland @CalExpo '89.throughis the peak of the show. The former appears on, where Jer's solo is edited @4:15>5:05. Did they think this makes Bob look better somehow? Not sure why they picked this over 3/19 if they wanted an early '90. This was the period where he squeaks and wheezes theatrically, yells instead of sings, and does his own echo effects (to thwart Healy?). But the first Jer solo is up in the heights. Thehas been called-out by other fans of 89/90. Mickey stays out for most of. There's a smoking, albeit brief,with a nice tranny into a tight. Jer uses his MIDI forand you can't complain about athat's almost as good as 3/29.: C+: B-Overall = 3¼ StarsHighlights:He's Gone - has been called one of 90's bestI Need a Miracle - corners secureSOURCES: The miller.107870 SBD, or the hansokolow MTX for liveliness. Officially on. Half-Step and Victim are on. Estimated is on- with 50sec of Jer's solo cut.
