Wckr Spgt 1994 @ Sneakers Indie Rock Night - "Flinch Mob"
The chyron here is all the information I have; this recording isn't on Live '91-95, so I don't have more information from the Spgt site. I've ripped the audio here and stored it locally, so you can hear it:

What Does This Performance Sound Like?

This is a fun one. Core Spgt members Mark Givens and Joel Huschle are backed here by Franklin Bruno and Peter Hughes from Nothing Painted Blue (I won't start debate on who formally has custody of Kyle Brodie, who drums reliably for both bands) and there's plenty to watch. Joel is always up to something. In the interest of preserving as much visual information about Spgt's performing style as possible, I've pulled animated gifs from the available video, and uploaded them all here. These are chronological, and each has a descriptor. You can open any gif using the "GIF" link on the right.
Here are the gifs, which will hopefully have a better shelf-life than video hosting, video codecs, browsers, etc.:
