I think most would call Indecision a jam band, but that doesn't quite do them justice.  They were based in Charlottesville, Virginia, and were active in the regional college circuit in the late 80s and 90s.  I believe they still play together from time to time.

I played this tape constantly back in the day, and am amazed at how good it sounds after sitting in a closet for decades.  I am not positive, but based on sound quality and almost complete absence of audience noise, this must be a soundboard recording.  The only audience noise you hear sounds like bleed through the stage mikes.

I don't know the exact venue.  My cassette is simply labeled "W&L Senior Party", "W&L" being Washington and Lee University, which is in Lexington, Virginia.

This is the first of (apparently) two sets.  At the end of the last song, the singer says they're taking a quick break and have "another long set".  I don't have the second set.

The Band:
Aaron Evans - Guitar, Vocals
Craig Dougald - Drums, Vocals
David Ibbeken - Guitar, Vocals
Shawn McCrystal - Bass


Notes:
This was my first Indecision show.  This source is taken from only one 90 minute tape, featuring the entire second set and a "filler" of part of the first set.

This is the original core four band members only, which in my view is the best Indecision - nothing against Chris and Doug (I love what they bring too!).  The show features a wonderfully played Eyes Of The World, a sublime Ponder Yonder, a typically powerful Indecision treatment of Dear Mr. Fantasy, some truly creative bass lines from Shawn in Had To Be, and an unidentified but immensely tasty instrumental jam that leads into Hand Jive (if anyone knows the name of it, please let me know!).

I don't know how I obtained the tape - probably from my friend Mark S. - but I got it soon after the show. Unfortunately there are three cuts.  The songs in the first set filler are spliced close together on the tape (I assume for space since the Franklin's Tower painfully cuts off before the ending).  The sound quality, while not A+, is maybe slightly better than the 1-21-89 show I uploaded a couple weeks ago and just sounds as I remember it from 24 (!) years ago. Enjoy!
