Pretty cool, multi angle, edited video of Shelter from The Rat in Boston on June 19th of 1990. This is from their first tour that they did with Quicksand and Inside Out and had the lineup of Porcell on guitar, Graham Land on guitar, Yasomatinandana das on bass and Sammy Siegler on drums. Great lineup, great energy, early Shelter, driven and on a mission, getting out there and trying to turn it all around. -Tim DCXX

I saw the mighty Shelter some years after this in Kansas City and it was a jam. I remember some kid screaming from the crowd, "play something old!" Ray replied, "play something old? Okay!" The band then busted into "We Can Work It Out" by the Beatles. It was pretty cool and I love when punk rock bands play things that they love.
Though I wasn't much for the Krishna consciousness and the musical direction of the band in the late-'90s (I think), Shelter were a damn fine band.
more JULES please.
I was at this show. I'm sorry to say, but seeing all the kids in robes with beads and low top vans made me very uncomfortable. Inside Out were amazing at this show.
Musically, they were a solid band, but I resent the influence that they had on the scene. I know quite a number of impressionable kids who fell under their spell, joint a temple and came to regret it later.
"Joint" a temple? They needed to smoke a joint instead of join a temple! LOL
like it
was this the riot show?
Did the Perfection of Desire lineup ever play out? Todd Knapp (76% Uncertain, Reflex From Pain) plus TC3 on gitboxes...such a shame that they just did the one recording in this incarnation...
this band sucks on so many levels.
I was at the this show as well as a few others here. I came to see INSIDE OUT. They blew doors down. Shelter was a good band to watch and they also really played well here. At this point they still had roots planted firmly in HC soil. It did feel culty, but it wasn't yet over-the-top. This was before Ray had spent so much time in India.
As far as the kids in low-top vans comment... mea culpa, mea culpa. WTF is wrong with low-top vans?
I din't even notice that this show was being filmed! Can someone locate the INSIDE OUT footage, assuming there is some?
Also... Shelter didn't suck as a band... they rocked. What sucked was the religion used like a heavy sedative. This is when everyone in the SE scene had to do a serious head-check. Is religion any different than crack, speed, booze or dope? Maybe it's more dangerous. Just an opinion...
