Notes

Master cassette tape

15 Around and Around (Chuck Berry) - w/ Willy DeVille on harmonica!

Quote of the night: (by the Taper) "Lewis you suck, you asshole. Lewis sucks!"


Wow, this recording sounds REALLY good! Definitely one of the best-sounding Gang War shows, JT and Wayne are completely in the zone, with no word slurring or bumblin' & stumblin' at all! The drums are tight, too. Real tight...a great performance behind the skins, fer sure!

This is another one of those shows where Johnny sounds straight and you wonder how many great shows coulda happened if that fuckin' dragon wouldn't have taken him hostage for so damn long. His guitar doesn't wander around and stays on-target, his voice is great, and he's in a great mood.


Johnny/Wayne - guitar/vocals
Ron Cooke - bass
John Morgan - drums
