Classic stuff.

Not really one of their best gigs, but still classic stuff.

of course is was in fact the worst cvh show ever. but that is the very reason it is such a classic.
musically,they played like shit,but it was entertaining as hell!!!!!

not to mention the fact that it took place in front 300,000 people,myself included.

the odd thing is,for being the worst cvh show,it is still one of their most memorable.it is one of the greatest gigs ever played.

the show was so horrible it was fucking great!!!

I was there. I rode in the back seat of a Porsche 911 through the fucking desert and through three states for 1000 fucking miles to see that show and it was a let down. Dave was so fucked up I was actually pissed because what is funny now seemed so fucked then.

Also, I think the harmonica is in the wrong key.

You're right-it's sharp.

Looked like Dave noticed too late and bailed on the duet with Ed...

Brought it back proper, as usual. :D

Yeah, it's not their greatest performance, but it goes to show that the worst CVH recorded performance obliterates that "Live Without A Nutsack" weak "official" release.

Is it true they had no plans on performing until the "payday" amount was discussed?

I remember that thread. For those of y'all that missed it, go find it. Without a doubt, the greatest collection of CVH memorabilia ever shown on this fucking site.
