ugh so awesome

This is so great. I'm a huge fan. I was at Lawrence at this time but away on at a tennis meet. My girlfriend at the time recorded it and I still have it on a mini-casette. This is the first time I've actually "seen" what I missed. Incredible to have this recording!!! Thank you. They are one of the greatest, underated bands of all time. Fortunately, I was able to see them live many times in Minneapolis.

So much better than the grunge scene that swept them away. LOVE THIS!!

Came here for the Replacements and the Suburbs, stayed for TS. Across the Universe helped me transition from college to the working world. Minneapolis produced some great alternative bands!

Oh wow! What a great capture!

Great audio compared to the longer Appleton clip.

I got into Trip almost one year after this show. By that time, they were done. I would’ve given just about anything to have been there in Appleton to have seen this. Trip was sorely overlooked and, though Semisonic later became popular with “Closing Time,” the majority of Semisonic’s work simply doesn’t stand up to Trip’s. Thank you for sharing this especially for those who never had the pleasure of seeing them live!

I grew up on this!!!! My parents were huge fans and saw them many many times, especially in Madison WI. They should have been huge, but it’s kind of cool that they are our little secret!

I thought that version of Australia was gonna be the best song.. but then, i heard that version of So Says I! That one was my favorite for sure. Incredible energy! Also, like basically everyone else in this thread, i miss this lineup. Either way, Mercer is a musical genius!

where is the rest omg

Danke für den Song ❤❤❤😂❤

I only had one chance to see these amazing folks live. Fell in love with Elaine Harris immediately.

Seventeen minutes in, is she ok?

An outstanding archive. Thank you.

So I’m confused… some of these sound exactly like the ITunes session. Are some of these same as that? For instance So Says I and Australia sound the same while Phantom Limb is clearly not.

I saw Trip several times in Madison. They were always amazing.

This session is iconic to shins fans. Glad it still exist

It was called Day on the hill- and I was there. Bought their lulu cd. Man- it was cool.

Miss the old backing band <3

So insanely tight! Thanks for uploading! My favorite era of The Shins!!

The back vokals here are insane ❤️ love everything about them!

Sure sounds different without those studio doubled lead vocals.

I could hear this on rotation

Why is Dave Hdz playing bass , not complaining, wish he was back with the band...

Trip Shakespeare was the soundtrack to my college days at Iowa State. I saw them for the first time at The Maintenance Shop in February of 1987 and never missed an opportunity to see them after that, including their final show at the Cabooze in Minneapolis on 5/22/1993. Matt still plays in Minneapolis a lot, still a damn good songwriter.

This is amazing ‼️

First synch? WOW! Really, really nice, man!!! THANKS!!!!!!! :)

One of the truly great, though largely unrecognized, bands of the 90s.

I am so glad that I stumbled upon thus this today! Hard to believe it was almost 30 years ago .💕 They had so much energy!

Fantastic live recording, thank you.

Just about every comment on here feels like one I would write! Northwestern '91-'95, they headlined our Dillo Day (Spring Fling) freshman year and a quintessential musical experience of my college years. Came to TH-cam tonight in search of live version of Look at the Moon, and it all comes back. I would move mountains for a reunion show with these guys, and the people who were with me at the time!

I love this; distorted recording; distorted amps, distorted vocals. As long as everything is in tune/sync!!!

Phantom Limb is such a beautiful sounding song,.. I never knew what the lyrics were about (googled it: two lesbians in a small town school... wtf, never would've guessed that), but the line/s "so, when they tap my/our Sunday/Monday head(s), two zombies walk in our stead" always made me shiver. One of the best Pop-songs ever written to me, and I am very thankful for the hours of joy, cheer and comfort this song has spend me.

is that the prince of persia?

Trip Shakespeare was awesome and I was privileged to see them 10-ish times in places like Iowa City and KC. With their songwriting, musical talent, high energy, and fun live shows, they were the best!!!

hopefully they can fix it in the mix :)

God this is so good. How could I find the audio from the Appleton show? Is there more than Fireball?

Thank you so much for this! Getting to see a whole set of their incredible energy again after all these years is absolutely wonderful.

I'm not gonna bitch one single bit about this timeless video, but I really wish they had done The Slacks or Toolmaster. What a great video though. It's a rare trip (pardon the pun) back in time.

WHAT AN AWESOME UPLOAD!! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for posting this! One of my all-time favorite bands (and, as a former music critic, I've listened to and seen a hell of a lot of bands). Brings back great memories!

Still dumbfounded this band never got massive! So GD amaizing!

when i had a late night music show on public radio I played the heck out of these Pravda releases...so fun.

THANK YOU! Finally, a REAL flash from my college past. This was HANDS DOWN the GREATEST group. Such raw talent. So much, in fact, they had to go their separate ways....What a treasure to watch and relive the glory days. Put a huge smile on my face.

Hey to everyone that is here

Hey - I taped this! It was during an annual event at Lawrence University called "Celebrate" or maybe "Celebration". Usually for this event they had the bands set-up at the base of a hill full of people with the Fox River behind them, but it had been raining a lot and the hill was too muddy. This stage arrangement was hastily set-up as an alternate location in a square between a trio of dorm buildings. When Matt says "We thought we were going to play in front of a majestic hill" that is what he is talking about. I was 18 years old with a Panasonic VHS camcorder. This was my first concert in the sense that I had listened to the music over and over but had no real idea what they looked like or who was singing. I was too young and naive to think there was going to an issue with me standing directly in front of John right up against the stage with a giant camcorder. My older friends who were on the Lawrence radio station were very supportive about me standing right up front. Too bad the audio got blown out by being so close to the PA. The girl who keeps screaming is my girlfriend at the time Erica who introduced me to the band. Now I run a music venue...go figure. It was a great show. I think Fireball is the best part.

This is excellent!! Well done Trip!

I was one of those folks who found out about The Shins from that scene in Garden State, and it DID change my life. I freaking love every single piece of music that James Mercer has put out into the world.
