Social Distortion - Bakersfield *New Song* - Sokol Auditorium, 9.28.2009

Embarking on a tour preempting the release of a new CD (hopefully early 2010,) Social Distortion made their way back to my neck of the woods. Since my last SD fix was clear back in 2007, I was pretty damn anxious for this show:
Prefaced by performances by MC Rut and The Strangers, Social Distortion came out and played for a solid hour and a half. As always, Social D was full of energy, playing old favorites, some rare covers and even blessing us with a few new songs (bringing our anticipation of the new album to a fever pitch!) The show, from the openers through Social D, was definitely one I won't be forgetting. Hopefully through these recordings, you can experience the magic of that night too.
I believe this fall tour to now be concluded, but if you get a chance to see one of their shows DO NOT MISS the opportunity. And be on the lookout for their (*hopefully*) soon to be released new album. If the songs that they performed from it is any indication, it's going to be another legendary work!

[@Nummey11]

This is just too fucking good!!

[@ccranger109]

Before my oldest son Fabian was born we had a Chevy Citation and the transmission went out in it in Bakersfield, CA 1985 1 sec ago

[@kimshlongpoon3995]

"stranded here in Texas" I would much rather be in Bakersfield, I miss my home in SoCal. The oil fields pay well but Texas really sucks when you grew up in Cali !

[@newURSS]

I want to go to Bakersfield and listen to this song in the street :)

[@monica93304]

If you ever come to Bakersfield, go to the oldest bar in downtown called "The Mint" and blast the fuck out of that song.

[@IIIBIGPIGlll]

@@monica93304 The Mint is gay

[@monica93304]

@@IIIBIGPIGlll there's no homophobia at the Mint. That's for sure.

[@Mark-xh1jw]

Hey Mike remember having a beer in a dive bar in Bakersfield 🍀🤙

[@PierceJeff]

Mark805 he was probably getting tattooed at mad dogs huh? Was it at the mint?

[@Urklaugh]

Someone please write what did he say on the bridge, pleaaaaaaaase

[@chaonatic]

@GuitarToast hehe

[@Deaob]

so I walk out that lonely truck stop, wondering how the hell i've gotten myself into this mess, and more importantly, how i was gonna get myself out of it, so I wrote a song for you baby girl and I hope when I return home the locks aint changed on the doors, and theres still a spot for me, on that big ol', california, king sized bed

[@tatodth]

lyrics of this song please :D:D:D:D

[@Cinemadaptation]

@pezthing Do you really think that, If he really didn't like this place, he would have written a song about it ?

[@bradgamson7980]

Is that Chuck on drums?

[@chaonatic]

Fair, but I mean new as in it'll more than likely be on their upcoming and as-of-yet, unreleased album.

[@Fraeg]

work has taking me down there too many times, fresno, Bakersfield, and worst of all Barstow....

[@johnnyappleseed856]

Missing JOHN MAUER!

[@naqshtalt]

Dude, it's not a new song. They played her in 2006. Sorry for my bad english.

[@jillhoward4527]

Wrote a song for you baby girl ...

[@IzzyStorm1996]

lol omg even mike ness makes fun of creed

[@rubysarahaynes]

i love/hate that place. god dammit!!!

[@sickboyswan]

creed concert, thats priceless

[@dipkid787]

To everybody who thinks he's taking a shit on Bakersfield he did say it was the last stop of a long tour and he wanted to be home doesn't mean he hates it & it could be worse you could be stuck in Ohio this place is truly a black hole that always sucks you back

[@upthcreek]

yep

[@upthcreek]

I'm blessed with knowing what it's like, in this life, of knowing what it's like being raised in Bakersfield.

[@MattyE191]

@Sarahisthebombest It was just a crappy day for him, nothing to do with the place.

[@johnnyappleseed856]

Won't go back until John, just saying!

[@FirstnameLastname-ww8ry]

lol "gotta get creative"

[@xxluckyx13xx]

Guess what. They are playing Bakersfield on Jan 24th and the shows always sell out. Must not suck that much. Don't get me wrong I feel "stuck" here...bako's like a vacuum it always sucks you back in. As much as it sucks it's home I guess. He didn't really need to talk shit about it though, we all know it's kinda crappy.

[@caleab27]

Bakersfield is the devil, Bobby Bucher!!!
