Live D.O.A. in the early '80 was just on another level. Only time I've seem them was in 2019 - huge stage, zero ambiance, every excuse to be a boring version of something that used to be interesting, you know? They fucking destroyed.

One of the first things I saw on the internet this morning was a flyer for this gig. SSD played too, and Al Barile from SSD passed away yesterday...Al seemed like a really good dude. Pretty sure I posted this show (or a part of it?) years ago, but why wouldn't you want to listen again?
