One of my favorite bands. Saw them live at a festival in my City a few years before Pat DiNizio passed way. Great band, great music.

...in the town where I grew up. Municipal stadium and the stage was about 2/3rds of the north end zone.
This was around the time of the "11" album that included this tune.
So, maybe 1990?
They were very solid. Tight & punchy.

Drummer wanted to sing this one, so we obliged.
This is one of 15 or so songs over 20 years where I played only guitar. Used a big, crunchy tone to thicken it up.
Fun song to play.
