Slim's Cafe: San Francisco, CA attendance: 900 soundcheck: Daughter instrumental, Why Go, Blood instrumental, Rats and Release guitar warm-ups, Animal instrumental, Animal, Dissident This was a secret show was a benefit to assist in legal support for a member of the Surfrider Foundation. PJ is billed as the "David J. Gunn Band" and most of Vs. (plus 'Better Man' and 'Whipping') premier as they have just completed recording the new album. The band even asks for requests at this show. Ed jokes around: "We're accepting any donations of acid that you may have. Just put it in a little envelope with your name on it ... and if we write a great song while we're on it, we'll put your name in the credits." A guitar riff from Van Halen's 'Eruption' is played between 'Why Go' and 'Alive.' 'Alive' is dedicated to Ed's uncle, Freddy Vedder. The transition from 'Dirty Frank' to 'Rats' is very cool sounding.A bit of AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds' is played. -- Five Horizons
Hey Ryan, This is great you have audio for this show that was supposed to be cancelled that day because of a leak to the press. I was at this show and yelled out Dirty Deeds and Mike looked me and started playing it. Funny when Eddy said “nah man, I can’t sing that” Were you there? Is that how you got the recording or was it off the board? Dude, what a great memory of that day and show. Thank You for posting this. 🙏🏼🤘
Hey Mike! I was not at this show. I was pretty heavy into tape trading that’s how I acquired this show. It’s amazing that 1) you were at this banger of a show and 2) you were called out! Thanks for listening and I’m glad it brought back some good memories. Check out some other shows….I have 100’s of shows and upload almost daily! Cheers
