Shows of note as of 09/05/94 (Special end-of-Labor-Day edition) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ NOTES: This update to the Shows List is courtesy of the ton of new info I've received over the weekend, especially Rob Jacob supplying what could be his own Madison shows list. Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a moment of silence, or at least muffled conversation, for Shellac 1st bassman Bob Weston, who tore some ligaments in his shoulder during postgame shenanigans at Sunday's Pine Tar .406 extravaganza. The doc gave him some Advil and a sling, and he should be doing just fine.
