Thirteen years ago...

My old band, The Control, did a 4 show in 3 days weekend. This first being in Pittsburgh on a Friday (which bands cancelled the show AFTER showing up), then Saturday we played a matinee with 9 Shocks Terror in Western Massachusett and a Evening show in CT. I forget where the 4th show was but it was at a weird upstairs legion hall. Today was the first time I saw the video of that show.
Anyway, our set has some lull thanks to a broken string but man, Kevin was a great front man and we played pretty well considering we drove straight through the night to get there. But the real story is the insanity that went on during 9 Shocks set. Fire crackers, a burning couch. a dive out the window to return to the pit on a bicycle; it was mayhem. Here's some brief video proof:
On another note, I was a much better guitar player back then I think, stylistically speaking.
