    Now THAT would be incredible, if they have a good recording from the show.

    I’m thinking more in terms of secret show, billed as someone else, before new album release etc…

    I saw black crows at cbgbs when they were at there peak under a fake name. They played like they were playing to a stadium of people, not a tiny dump. Would have liked it more if it was like unpluggedish. Got my head blown out. Still fun to say I was there. I guess.

    I live in Santa Cruz and tried to get into that show, but the line was so long and I didn’t make it. A bunch of us stood out in the cold at the back of the venue and just listened to the show through the walls.
