Comments
Co-Headline w/ The Grifters, who went on at 9:45pm and GBV went on at 11:45pm for what was listed as 60 minutes. Gig listed in Guided By Voices Fall Tour 1994 itinerary. Venue capacity listed as 250.

Pussycat Magazine Fall 1995 Issue also mentions 11/7/1994 date at Duke Coffeehouse as well as the venue confirming that Guided By Voices played there.

Audio was recorded. Info from the original taper: From the first night of a run they did with the Strapping Fieldhands and The Grifters, a legendary night in the local music scene. The Duke Coffeehouse was just that, a small room on campus that was a coffee house by day and occasional music venue with a max capacity of maybe 200 people (plus a BYOB policy!) at night. This was during a stretch when they were able to bring in a series of fantastic bands that were already typically playing bigger rooms. The bands were gracious enough to let me tape through the board that night, though I remember the recordings sounding pretty bad (unbalanced and dry) so I never went back to them much. I've had this show on my trade list and I recall making cassettes for a few people but I don't think this show ever really circulated. Maybe nobody asked for it in trade because I graded it fairly low. Listening now it sounds better than what I remember, it is not very crisp but all the instruments were there in the mix which allowed me to "re-balance" in Izotope (vocals down, guitars up) which helped though there is only so much you can do.
