Here's a passage from Jrnls80s on this show:
we played Oberlin, in the Hales gym right on rt. 10 there. it's a nice open hanger space. we had a ten foot green buddha on stage that some of the art students had made for the new gazebo (a travesty of one, actually) across the street. i saw the bldgs, we did an interview at the radio station and saw only a little bit of the place, there wasn't time for more. we had to drive all night on about two hrs sleep, to get there from the nyc gig the night before. we really sucked, everything went wrong from the word go; it was abysmal. i guess we still held a certain amount of focus just trying herculean to combat the ghosts in the machine. we got through, it was so poor, standing there high on an elevated stage with all the house lights on for our set because the pretty colored lights were fucking w our equipment through the electronic matrix. it was like being naked. i fear we didn't fulfill the hopes of the eager oberlin fans who had worked so hard to bring us there. people still seemed to like it, but it wasn't good.
