It’s time for Patreon Voter’s Choice! And what a choice it is. There are no professionally shot videos of the 97s from (imho) their best era in the mid to late 90’s, except for this one… well, and the complete Austin City Limits which the band WANTED me to post and then was whacked by the PBS affiliate in Austin. So, the only one publicly available.
This is when they were the best band on the planet- just absolutely ripping.

I commend Merge Radio for broadcasting this in the early days of the internet and to the person who captured this online- this was not easy to do back then! Sure, it is primitive and clunky by today’s standards (yes, that is an internet pause at 3:50), but I love this. Hope you do too.
