Show Notes:
GO SEE THIS BAND!

Well, to start, I lugged about 100 lbs. of gear around the venue in 95 degree weather...not the best choice for a 'rugged Alaskan' (haha).

But got inside in time for soundcheck, and spent 20 minutes looking for staff to ask about filming...no dice.

So, an hour into setting up 4 cams (during soundcheck), I was then told it was a FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR fee if filming was to occur.

All that aside, what you have here is a mean, lean (just over 90 minute) TMS set.

It's a "let the music do the talking" kind of show, but a few highlights were "April Fool", "Rollin' Over", "Had To Cry", "Horsehead", and of course the actual experience of hearing the songs live for the first time.

Nothing but kudos and good things to say about the TMS crew...they treat me like family, so I try to deliver you kids the goods in the appropriate fashion.

Anyhow, plug in, turn on, and enjoy this blistering gem!

Kent is coming soon, and I have a few sweet shows up the sleeves in the next couple months...

THANK YOU Dennis.

Go FUCK YOURSELF Hagar!
