Fantastic. Great way to head off to work on a Tuesday. Thanks for that!
I bought this bootleg album (different artwork, naturally) in a tiny store in a Tokyo alley in '85... It was called "Mother's Day".....
Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

I friggin' love the version of House Of Pain on this. Dave is actually nailing notes and the continuous jam at the end. Amazing.
They killed it here.. Dave sang the songs and everything.. Would be a great live album!

My mother never took me to any concerts. I was overseas in June of 1984. I got out of the Navy in August. I flew home from the Philippines by way of Japan and Anchorage Alaska. 20 something hours on an airplane staring at a wall in front of me. I had to wear my dress white uniform. It was filthy by the time I got to San Diego. I had to have it cleaned to sign my discharge papers. I burned my working uniforms before I left Subic Bay at a getting out of the Navy party. I gave my ex my dress uniforms years later. She probably threw them in the trash. I only saw CVH outdoors. I saw Van Hagar at the Forum in the early 90s. They sucked. The opening act Baby Animals sucked even more. I saw Aerosmith at the Forum a few months later. Jackyl opened for them. They kicked ass. Aerosmith wasn't bad but they weren't great. They weren't fucked up for a change. Steven Tyler didn't even barf one time at that show. It was right after the L A riots so I got the fuck outta there as soon as the show was over. The Forum's not in the best part of town. Inglewood didn't have a best part of town back then. It was all bad.
