[@drewper73]

Are you kidding me? These two bands on stage together? They didn’t tour together did they? Because if they did and they came around here I’m going to be all kinda mad at myself.

Cool, a modern version of Deliverance's Dueling Banjos.

Spirit Two Are you for real?

[@skipdalu5805]

The sound recording is atrocious- it utterly ruins the music. Congrats, Cal Vid.

[@soulrefix6503]

Looks like a bootleg so cut him some slack and be grateful he was there at all to record
