Wow. Good one, Mr. Tapes. As usual :) Also, question! When it comes to BtS shows where they play/sound harder than usual, do any shows come to mind? I watched a performance of Stop the Show(probably off this channellol) and was legit taken back by how punky they sounded compared to the usual. Doug's vocals were grittier than I've ever heard and they all had this intensity that I wish was present in more performances/bands overall sound. Any point in the right direction to any shows that fit that would be greatly appreciated :) Keep on rocking in the free world, and doot doola doot doo.

I can’t think of a show in specific currently, but the 93-95 era definitely has some jems. One that comes to mind is a live version of Big Dipper titled “Allen The Cowboy” that they put on a sampler that is a super punky version. A lot of that Lync lineup probably has what your looking for.

@@BuiltToSpillTapes BIG DIPPER THATS ALSO ANOTHER SONG IVE HEARD THEM PLAY and was like “wtf?” Doug changed the chord progression and turned it minor instead of major, and differently sung lyrics and turned it into this darker, moodier thing, and it turned Big Dipper into almost post hardcore. But ahh, thanks anyways Mr Tapes.
