Dead Show of the Month

DSOTM # 155 - 8/16/91

This month the podcast takes us to the Late Summer 1991 Run that had the band playing 6 shows in 7 nights... and they only repeated one song!   Amazing.   This is the 4th show of that run, and they are obviously trying hard not to repeat anything and came up with some interesting twists.   For half-time, "Bob" brought us in some Bob & Rob from 1991.   Good stuff.   Hope you guys are enjoyin the ride!
