The very last time the Candyman came around. Also the last time I saw Jer, and I was right up front for this one.

Huge 80's LIG @ MSG. Really nice work from Weir. I'm surprised this one isn't ranked yet. Listen on 30 Days of the Dead from 2013

Extremely powerful version, especially for a west coast, afternoon show! Not perfect, but pretty underrated, and the last time I got to see Brent :(
