Street Dogs: The General's Boombox (12/19/13 @ Union Transfer, Phila, PA)

Hey man! Any chance you taped this show?!

Holy crap, look who it is! Yer still out there, eh? Had to re-register on dime a couple weeks ago and was wondering if you were around. Hadn't logged in in so long that I guess they deleted the account as inactive. Anyway, I'm back on but still not checking it much. Didn't record this show....first time in ages that I hadn't brought the camcorder or at least the Zoom H2. Was kind of nice not dragging that crap along but of course now I regret it. I did record the Baltimore Wreck the Halls show from last year though. Me and my 15 year old went to that one. I took the easy way out though and used my GoPro Hero2 instead of the camcorder and the picture suffers quite a bit....grainy. Not done a thing with it though. Did anything ever show up from the Dropkicks/Street Dogs show in Philly a few years ago when Mike came out and sang about 4 songs? Man, I want a copy of that if it's around. Hard to believe no one recorded it, though the Electric Factory has a bit of a reputation for being a pain in the ass at the door, searching you.

shinner65 Of course I'm still out here! Nothing's popped up from that Philly show that I've seen, still! Sadly!!!! If you ever get around to posting that footage, I'd love to see it! I'm so far removed from trading and all that these days, it's ridiculous! I almost never check dime myself these days!

Not posted the 2012 Baltimore show. Imagine I'll get around to it eventually. I must have 4 or 5 shows now between SDs and FF56 that I've not done. Bet I said that a couple years ago. It's just become less of a priority for me. Working a lot more so less free time and when I do have it, I don't feel like sitting in front of a computer editing video :)

Did you get not without a purpose or skinhead?

Sorry man, I only grabbed this and it was kind of last minute. Like I spoke about in the description, I really didn't expect General's Boombox to get played. Seen MMc talk about Strummer and the Clash at pretty much every show but they always play a Clash song. I had bugged Mike on twitter to please play it in Philly and then also posted a similar comment on their facebook gig reminder. They may have been playing it at each WTH show for all I know. I was just pumped to finally hear it live. When they play in Baltimore, usually at Ottobar, I always do video and bring an audio recorder as a backup. Not being familiar with the Union Transfer I didn't know what to expect and hate to have to leave my stuff in the car if they stop me at the door. So I didn't bring it along. Pity too because the venue has some raised flooring areas down each side as well as in the center behind the mixing station. Coulda set up in any of 3 places and gotten some nice video. Next time I'll take it along and clear things with the doorman and the band (hopefully). My son got 2 Angry Kids with his phone and it sounded pretty good...but I'm pretty sure that's all he got/
