this isn't a band, but the best live performance I've seen in 1995
would
have to be by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, under Jukka-Pekka
Saraste, with Desmond Hoebig as solo cellist on December 2nd, 1995.

"Interestingly enough, the big companies are mostly in favour of
decentralization. The president of a large Canadian bank recently . . . said
publicly that national standards in social programs were nonsense. Everyone,
he said, has different needs. He didn't, unfortunately, go on to explain the
different regional needs of cancer and heart attack victims.
