about

During this show the theater's owner pleads to have the audience stop jumping off the rather high stage, but is met with a torrent of feedback and Stabb screaming "It's OK, this is what we do!" Of course one audience member was taken away in an ambulance after being injured.

Also playing that day was Husker Du , Negative Approach, Malefice, and Underground Soldier. Husker Du was the final act after arriving late. They played about 15 minutes until the guitar amp blew.
