Sorry again for the audio glitches...they're really annoying... Don't know why that happened...

[ancook58]

@MaryLouLord1 Its okay! Its footage I've never seen regardless, so there is no reason for me (or anyone) to complain! :D Thanks a heap for the upload!

[Sonano]

@MaryLouLord1 It's okay! Thank you so much for uploading this! <3

[midwestmahoney]

@MaryLouLord1 Dont worry. Can hear it and sounds great. I filled in a couple of times when it went out.

[Barrister2010]

@MaryLouLord1 It's OK Mary Lou! I just pretend that Elliott is swearing like a drunken sailor and the show was edited for cable.

[MaryLouLord1]

Thanks Francy....!! Merry Christmas!...@ Shrew, Lou was moving to LA>...

[francy150207]

Thanks Mary Lou, this is a wonderful Christmas gift. Thank you for sharing this! Merry Christmas to you all, I know, ..... Elliott looks at us and smiles.

[shrew972]

08:42 what a mad scream!

[shrew972]

Where was Lou going??

[MaryLouLord1]

Thanks so much to Jody Moore and Mark Ventola for shooting the video for this. Who knew way back then that a thing called "You Tube" would come along and bring all these old tapes back to life again! Great job guys!

[VideoJodeeO]

I videotaped this show along with Mark V. It was edited together and given to Billy. So glad it made it's way to you ML. Thank you for posting.

[pizza4brains666]

wish I could have seen him :(

[loudersoft]

Hey all -- it turns out this performance is from October 4th, 1998 -- thanks to BackstageRider for the correction

[citizenlowell]

audio is up at archive.org

[citizenlowell]

Billy Ruane was a Boston based promoter...this would have been in Cambridge MA

[LuvKing87]

I hope it's not just me, but the constant audio dropping hurts the enjoyment of it.

[mikeydrumz]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing with us Mary Lou! Happy Holidays!

[main6494]

Amazing. What insight into his vulnerability. Such a gem. Circa '98? Is this somewhere in LA?

[cesarmarins]

I didn't understand on guitar! Holy fuck! Thanks Mary Lou!
