God Street Wednesday: The Summer of ’94

1994 was a big year for the members of God Street Wine. The guys recorded and released their first major label effort, $1.99 Romances and toured the country relentlessly leading to less local shows in the Northeast. The fanbase grew exponentially and the aggressive touring schedule led to quintet becoming an extremely tight unit musically.

On June 30, 1994, the band ventured up to Boston for “An Evening With” performance at the legendary Paradise Rock Club. Longtime GSW webmaster and friend Eric Budke recorded the soundboard feed that evening and has recently uploaded his recording to the Live Music Archive. Budke’s incredibly crispy tape finds the band working out new segues, dropping random covers and delivering jammed out takes on old favorites. Every GSW fan should add this show to their collection.
