Notes: The band played a solid show for the homefolk.
Wrote Jon Pareles of the New York Times: "Living Colour wraps earnest messages about environmental fears, day-to-day racism and the cult of personality in whiz-bang music. Vernon Reid on guitar blasts riffs, picks the blues or erects steel-webbed canopies around melodic choruses. The band has always been virtuosic, but it keeps getting better. At the Lollapalooza Festival, Corey Glover sang with a new banshee falsetto and a soul-shouter's rasp, while the rhythm section seemed to be running on rocket fuel. When the set ended, Mr. Reid dived into the audience."

April Hunt of the Allentown Morning Call: "hair went flying when Living Colour took the stage as guitarist Vernon Reid and lead singer Corey Glover tossed around their beloved locks, keeping the crowd hot as the night grew cool. Each prowled the stage while grinding out their hard rock/funk, which the crowd seemed to appreciate if not demonstrably. Glover had the best moment: an a capella intro to "Open Letter (To A Landlord)."

But Barbara Jaeger of the New Jersey Record had a different view: "Only Living Colour disappointed, with a set that was long on Corey Glover's and Vernon Reid's vocal and guitar histrionics, respectively."
