According to the members of the band, the concert was a tumultuous affair with divergent morale amongst
the group. The trouble culminated when the roadies accidentally knocked over Danny Fichelscher’s cymbal
stand around a minute into “Soap Shop Rock”, and he was reportedly so disgusted that he kicked apart his
drums, leaving the others to fend for themselves for a minute.

Despite this, they all go on to give a really killer show that ends far too soon… and all you’re left to
do is start the recording over. 🙂
