comments: I think this was the 1st show Bush played in Boston, at least as a headliner.
The Toadies opened this show, and their soundman did not permit taping of them.  
This was my 1st (and last) time seeing Bush, mainly to see what all the "buzz" was about.
Although from the U.K. these guys were alot bigger in the U.S.A. than in England,
especially early on. This concert includes much of the debut album, "Sixteen Stone".
There is an FM broadcast of a show from Los Angeles on this tour,
but I don't think this show was ever broadcasted anywhere.
This was around the time Bush had 2 rather big hits, "Everything Zen" and "Come Down",
which I thought was the best song in this set.
"Little Things" and "Machine Head" would soon follow in their hit parade of the mid-90's.
This is the whole show, the tape flip was just before track 8 ends, after the song ends,
before track 9 begins, so no music is missing (I don't think any talk is missing either,
just applause, so I spliced some in to make a smoother transition).
Bush's Boston debut was a fairly big deal. Their album was getting alot of airplay here.
  it may not have been sold out, but close to, the place was pretty full. The sound gets
better just in time for Everything Zen (track 4, clearer path between mikes and amps).
listening to this finished product, this wasn't a bad show at all, pretty good one, actually.
Nice build-up in come down.
The Bush boys have long since moved on to bigger pastures,
but the Paradise still rocks on.
the Jon Stewart tracks were listed on my tape as being from 2001, which could be my mistake,
it may be from 1995, since Jon says it's their "network TV debut"
not likely Fox network's live TV debut for Bush would be in 2001,
(and both songs broadcasted from 1st album, the 2nd one cuts out abruptly in broadcast)
David Letterman makes the same claim in track 14
but Letterman and Stewart's shows were on different TV networks then.
the last track is definitely from a later tour, since it promotes a song from a later album.
