Oh, hells, yes. I was so there. Eugene is playing Pistol’s guitar! When was the last time anyone has seen or heard from Dana Shepard, btw?
I might have been there too Casey. 1994 is a little spotty in the old memory, but I do remember some Fags at the Toast – I really think I remember that ending scream in this set – but it might have been another time.
