The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

That's a great story, Carrion, and glad you made it out alive with your mental faculties (relatively) intact!

Amped up kick starter to a killer show and has some nice Bob/Jerry humor to start
