Grimy, gritty dark night of the soul 'styled WF. This hits just right with all the rusty, jagged edges. Check out Spring tour for more.

Show opener where the entire band basically plays percussion.

I love it when Jerry gets his strum on like he does here - quintessential '84ness.

Oof this one sticks with me. The LS>STC>UJB combo is a mood piece. The air is THICK the band is working hard on our behalf to keep our collective shit together - Bobby mushroom whammy work yup!, Jerry furiously riding his pedals while he digs like a dog after a bone check! Brent's got the buzzers and ringy dingys set to stun and the devils power it out in the background (what are they doing back there?) The cave is sweating as the ancient fire burns on the stage -weary but keeping us warm from the encroaching darkness. Are they playing for their lives here with all their energy spent? Sure kinda FEELS like it to me. PS stick around for the best spookiest Spanish Jam with voices and special effects added no charge...

This He’s Gone > Trucking combo is one of the finer things in life. A ripping awesomely jammed Truckin’ the Bobby riddim’ showcase in full effect.

JG unleashes a superfluid and remarkable solo on this one.
