FM Audio





After starting off the year with a handful of dates in Australia, Silverchair moved onto a short run in the United States, finally settling in Europe for a bit over two weeks. This show in Amsterdam was done during the tail end of European shows. Interestingly enough, the band would then go to Japan, a location they visited very rarely in their career.



This is an FM broadcast without radio station bumpers. Most notable about this concert is the early performances of Slave, Freak, Pop Song For Us Rejects, and a cover of the song New Race. While we do not yet have confirmation, it is believed that these European shows were when Freak and Pop Song For Us Rejects were first performed. A weird ending to the set was Madman, prompting the crowd to start cheering "we want more". There is an outro for Israel's Son, but it is difficult to understand most of what Daniel is saying. The outro is mostly a jam anyway.



Daniel makes a point more than once saying the reason there isn't much talking in between songs is because he blew out his voice screaming. That might explain some mistakes in Freak, as well as parts of Pure Massacre, but everything seems to hold up fine throughout.



An interview goes along with this show recording, but is not yet recovered for the archive.
