As Todd begins The Individualist track "Gather round children. I've got a tale to tell." That's because this is a show that's been around the block, and is actually live on the tracker since a kingrue share back in May, 2016 (more on that to come). I'd first heard this show when it was broadcast, but didn't capture that myself, and I vaguely recall this show might've once been available via iTunes back in the i-pod days. If I'm correct about that, the offering there disappeared long ago. So long, in fact, that in my days of shopping in record stores, I'd come across this and purchased it along with 3 other Todd boots from the same Dr. Dream boot house. They were generally all sonically great, but a few had labels affixed to presumably make them more attractive, and I'm doubtlessly not the only one to discover over time how that process might eventually render a disc unplayable. Discovering that in the case of one particular boot in that lot led me to rip what was on the others while they were still viable, and that led to this.
In comparing the contents of this disc to the fine kingrue share, I discovered that, sonically, what was on my discs sounded subtly different from kingrue's first gen cassette of the broadcast (check the comparative sample below). That seemed the case in regards to things like the overall bottom and bass drum sound, as well as in what I hear as a slight bit more clarity. Therefore, I'm guessing that the boot came from another source, that might be the pre-FM which kingrue cited in his share that had once run over at DIME during the days when Todd might still surface there. I can't swear to this pre-FM conclusion being correct, but listen to the samples and see what you think. No matter the conclusion, this is a great artifact of this time and tour.
The one flaw with my copy was that it didn't' include Hammer in My Heart (track 4), so I took that and the DJ intro (tacked on here as Track 15 after the music ends) from the kingrue share (thanks to him and his share for that). The addition of that track now turned what I had on the boot discs into a complete show. There will be a very slight difference in the sonic character of those tracks to the 13 tracks coming from the boot discs, but tools in Audacity were applied to Hammer in My Heart (alone) to try to approximate levels from the boot tracks. Those 2 tracks coming from the kingrue share are also indicated above with and asterisk (*).
Finally, new tracking was done for this share to get all songs in the proper order of performance, because they'd been mixed up a bit on the boot discs to accommodate disc length. I've also included scans of the boot covers and disc labels. A couple of other Individualist shows from 1995 were upped here about a month ago, and this sonically much superior share will be the final show from that tour that I can share. If anyone out there happens to have copies of the shows on this tour played in San Francisco at the Fillmore in late August, 1995, please share them, as they're both soundboards. Thanks in advance to anyone who might heed the call on that.

source/lineage info from the kingrue 2016 share is pasted below, as it applies to tracks 4 (*) and 15 (*) in this new share with the aforementioned Audacity step added in. Thanks again to kingrue for that share and the tracks from it that have enabled this new share to be the complete performance.
