Comment: (1) debut
(2) The Honkytonk Woman cover is what i like to call a "house music play-along." Strange Immigrant Song which evolves into an even stranger version of "who let the dogs out?" god bless the Baha Men!

+ show original text

Comment: (1) Debut
(2) The set began at midnight with the band chanting "the year is over...now, now, now!"
(3) A stuffed Antelope head fell off the wall during Freedom prompting Olivers brother Patrick to bring the gigantic Antelope head to the stage and proceed to "jam" an Antelope head solo, this prompted the band to bust into an impromptu version of 'run like an antelope' with Mike Medvinsky guesting on "set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul."
