My tape has failed at least 3 times trying to record SY - in Providence in 86 and at Maxwells last year.

My sentiments EXACTLY Tesla! I didn't go out of my way for the revival of this for the same reasons. No crowds or corporate BS for me!
I was at the Steve Shelley Experience gig in Boston which is mentioned in the Daydream Deluxe booklet. Then I saw them two more times on the official Daydream Nation tour. At The Ritz in NYC with Mudhoney and Old Skull and in Cambridge, MA at a venue I can't remember the name of now.
From the bootleg I listened to of the revival, it seems like there's no comparison. Then was then and now is now. Just listen to the LIVE Daydream 2nd CD in the deluxe edition. Those shows are precisely why I kept going back and have never missed a tour since EVOL.
